Summary: Mighty Lite Homelite Blower
Comment: Excellent product for the money. Item looked brand new, with no evidence that it was factory reconditioned. A GREAT BUY!! Very light weight as well.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Value!
Comment: The item was lightly scuffed on a few of the plastic areas but very clean otherwise. This is in line with expectations for a refurbished unit. Overall it's a great value and I'm happy with the purchase.

Summary: Homelite Blower
Comment: This is a great product. It takes a little bit to get it started, but runs great. I would recommend this product to anyone with a small to medium sized yard. This works great for my 7/8 of an acre.

Summary: EXCELLENT VALUE
Comment: I have wanted a backpack blower for some time and due to cost I opted for the handhelds. That is until I seen the cost of this one. $99 for a backpack blower is exceptional. The fact it is reconditioned makes no difference as it looks and acts as if it was new. I opened it , filled with gas/oil mix and started using. 2 hours later I ran out of things to blow off and much to my surprise I had only used 1/2 a tank of gas. I have used this many times now and love it. Easy to start, runs good and provides mores than enough power. The only complaint I have is I waited so long to get one. The blower is not heavy on the back even after hours of use. It does take a little adjusting to find the comfortable spot on your back as the frame will cause some discomfort if not in the right spot but not enough you want to stop using it just noticeable until you readjust the straps.Bottom line is, buy it , cost is exceptional value and you will be glad you did , I am.

Summary: Indeed a Value
Comment: Purchased this blower after researching for a few months. I was as most consumers interested in a good value where as product performance and cost meet somewhere in the middle. Typically, I like to see more performance for less money. First off I found the reconditioned blower to be in new condition. Only very minor cosmetic blemishing and only on the footing where it had been sat down. The rest of the unit including motor and fuel areas appeared factory new. Considering this is a backpack blower (my first) I have found this as other reviewers not as mobile as a handheld when used in tight quarters such as the inside corners of a garage or porch. As far as rest goes mixed the fuel, filled the tank, followed starting instructions on the unit's housing and it started right up. The blower has an adjustable harness, is lightweight and therefore easy to use. For the money I have no complaints. I would say had I spent several hundred dollars as most backpack units cost the performance could be better but for under a hundred dollars this backpack unit is a good value. Noise is no more an issue than any other blower I have owned. One last word on performance which is a personal experience and observation. Being a backpack unit and the fact I'm tall I feel may possibly be a disadvantage. My experience with most blowers is to get the blow tube close to the ground where as the curved exhaust tip is at a parallel angle which promotes a better direct flow of air to sweep the debris. The idea is to make the air move parallel with the ground and not be deflected off the ground forcing the air to rise up. The backpack eliminates this approach because once it's on your back your height denotes what angle the tube will be at and therefore your only adjustment is how far out you maintain the debris field which as expected you lose velocity and therefore effective blowing power. My observation is this blower is universally designed for the average height of roughly 5'10". Let me clarify under most conditions I would not be concerned but when you encounter wet leaves, heavy debris it's nice to be able to get more parallel straight-line, concentrated air flow close to the debris to lift it and sweep it away. A handheld makes this task a breeze...pardon the pun but the backpack to me has advantages such as less fatigue as well as disadvantages less mobility.
