was easy to put together and the engine started easy. Has now used it for about 5 hours, and it blows really good even on wet heavy leafs.

I received it and found it very well packed for shipping. It was easy to get out and very simple to put together. Some of the sections of the discharge pipe were a bit difficult to assemble properly but it was manageable without tools. After I filled the engine with oil and fuel it was very quick to start. After priming it fired right up on the first couple of pulls. It is very powerful! It was able to move wet leaves and leaves that were still on the ground from last year. I’m very happy with it and look forward to a much less physical fall cleanup at the cottage which is what I bought it for.
