Great leaf blower especially for the price

Great leaf blower, have not ran into any problems and have used it for a couple months now. Sucks and blows leaves with no issue at all. It is a little heavy and awkward for long use but it is pretty good with the straps to hold as a backpack. Highly recommend purchasing this leaf blower.

Pros
  • Works great. A bit louder than others I've had.
Cons
  • The blower's power cord might be too short for some users' outdoor spaces

A decent machine for my opinion

This is a great price for a good machine. Bag has great capacity, suction isn’t great but not bad. Also a suction head that’s the same size as the blowing head would be great for getting into tighter spaces.

Pros
  • The CRAFTSMAN Electric Leaf Blower is compact and easy to use
Cons
  • The device may not be effective at blowing mulched leaves or small debris

Best of the Best! in my review

So I went thru 3 other brands within 2 weeks of vacuum/blowers till I finally ordered this one. Keep in mind, they all were within $20 of each other's price. Needless to say, the vacuum on this unit is just amazing.Can't be more happier.quality and performance definitely second to non. I highly recommend this blower.give a 100%

Pros
  • Patio, Lawn & Garden
Cons
  • The device may not be effective at clearing debris in areas with strong winds or gusts

Disappointing product

Very heavy and cumbersome.I should have returned it because of the power switch being so difficult to use.I have had it 5 months and I can’t even use the switch anymore.Very disappointed in this product as I usually can get about 3 yrs out of a leaf blower.I will have to stop using this one because of the switch being inoperable

Pros
  • This Electric Leaf Blower is environmentally friendly and produces zero emissions
Cons
  • The device might produce a strong exhaust odor that can be unpleasant to smell

Work Great w/optional Suction Hose and Trashcan Adapter

I purchased this blower to use as a vacuum suction device only. I have other blowers that do a great job but I needed some thing that would suck leaves and mulch them and deposit them in a convenient way. I am not a fan of attached baggers and cannot rate this feature. Instead I wanted to purchase an optional hose and trashcan adapter to use with this blower. Dedicated systems cost hundreds of dollars but this original style Craftsman blower coupled with the WORX Trashcan attachments does a…

Pros
  • This thing is far too loud.
Cons
  • The electric leaf blower can only be used within a certain distance from a power outlet, limiting its mobility

Missing 1 item overall good item

This used item was missing 1 part for the vaccum part. Watch when ordering used item. WIll keep since paid cheap price Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • The Electric Leaf Blower eliminates the back-breaking work of manually cleaning your yard
Cons
  • The blower's battery or charging system might be difficult to use or inconsistent in its performance

Excellent leaf blower

Our package arrived quickly and product was in excellent shape. Used to blow out leaves, etc out of the garage and the power was appropriate for the job.

Pros
  • The Electric Leaf Blower has a cord-lock system to prevent accidental unplugging
Cons
  • It may be prone to causing static electricity buildup, leading to discomfort or static shock for the user during use

Pretty good for the price

It works pretty well, but it is not 2 speeds as some reviews have said. I bought it because it was noted that it was 2 speed. It is definitely a little cumbersome to change from blower to vac, not nearly as easy as my previous one. Also, it will blow much better if you do not use the small extension nozzle piece that comes with it. It does not blow well at all when the nozzle tip is installed as directed.

Pros
  • The Electric Leaf Blower is easy to assemble and requires no specialized tools
Cons
  • The device might not be suitable for users with hearing or sensory impairments due to its noise level

Great for car washing

I waffled around a bit before I bought this unit. Do I get battery operated? Corded? Gas?I foam my cars when I wash them and wanted to get a cheap and powerful leaf blower. In the end, I went corded because I didn’t want the hassle of battery replacements, and the cost of a powerful battery operated blower wasn’t really justifiable from a cost perspective.Gasoline can potentially also distribute fine oil particles over the car. A big no no!This blower needs a cord. It’s a cheap investment to…

Pros
  • Ease to exchange operations of vacuum and blower
Cons
  • Too heavy....

Mulcher plugs up when small twigs are vacuumed up.

I blow all leaves into a large pile, and inevitably small twigs are rounded up also. When using the mulching feature the small twigs will plug it up and you have to push the blockage in or turn off the machine to unblock. I'm not talking large twigs either, just small twigs that you would normally experience when cleaning up your yard in the fall.It does mulch nicely, though it seems to be as time-consuming as regular raking and bagging. Others have mentioned that it is loud, but it seems about

Pros
  • Clean up leaves in my yard around my Christmas decorations.
Cons
  • The device might not be compatible with certain extension cords or power sources, requiring additional purchases

Perfect leaf vacuum!

The backpack vacuum is the perfect solution for my yard care. We have a stamped concrete pool and rock gardens. With multiple live oak trees shading it all. Any leaves left anywhere become a mosquito nest. I live that I can lift leaves right off the rock gardens without worrying about picking up any rocks! I am a 60 year old lady and use this machine for 2-4 hours at a time. Keeping our oasis looking like paradise.

Pros
  • Does what it says. Replaced same item that lasted 5 years
Cons
  • Its performance might be limited in areas that are particularly dusty or dirty

Makes life easy: my feedback

I loved this so much I bought one for my vacation home too. Sucks up leaves like a dream. Real time saver. The suction on the leaf vacuum is very weak.!

Pros
  • The blower works great but you will need head phones it is very loud
Cons
  • The suction on the leaf vacuum is very weak.

Strong suction, seems well made

Got this unit primarily for the vacuum function, which it does quite well. Stronger suction than I expected, has no problem sucking up 3/4" red volcanic rocks, which is actually a problem because I wanted to suck up leaves and debris from the rocky areas of my yard. I think I can solve it with a stick or something taped to the nozzle to keep the opening far enough away from the ground to avoid sucking up rocks but still close enough to get the organic material. Probably need to experiment to…

Pros
  • Package arrived early. The machine works great blowing or sucking the leaves.
Cons
  • Its airspeed and volume might be uneven or inconsistent, leading to an unreliable cleaning experience

Does The Job best in my review

I was looking for a new electric leaf blower after our old one broke. I’ve always liked Craftsman products in the past so I tried this one.Couple of things to note:- It’s a bit on the noisy side- Can sometimes be a bit cumbersome to useOther than that, I’m a fan. I always bought the 3-year protection plan for a few bucks in case this one breaks. So far so good!

Pros
  • The Electric Leaf Blower is perfect for smaller yards and gardens
Cons
  • The product might not be environmentally friendly given its reliance on electricity generated from fossil fuels

The item works, however I have to keep stopping to clean off the end of the hose where the leavves get piled up when it's sucking them up. It's hard to get that attachment connected when trying to remove the like vent piece off of it.

Pros
  • The CRAFTSMAN Electric Leaf Blower is easy to maintain and clean
Cons
  • The blower's airspeed may not be adjustable, making it difficult to fine-tune the cleaning experience
