Troy-Bilt TB4BP gas powered backpack leaf blower

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:26:34 +0000

The Troy-Bilt TB4BP gas powered backpack leaf blower is a device able to make fall/spring cleanup a pleasure. Just because it's powerful, comfortable to use and reliable, all these for a very fair price (not cheap, but fair). First of all, this is a gas powered blower, with a 4-cycle 32cc (since it's a 4-stroke engine, it will runs pretty smooth and you won't have problems with vibrations). This allows you to blow things with 150 MPH and 480 CFM, so not even medium sized rocks will withstand the might of it. You also get a big fuel-tank (20-once) so you'll have a decent autonomy with it when working. As for noise, it won't pass the 72 db mark. And there are a couple of other things you should know about, like the reliable and fast starting system and the convenient placed tube-mounted throttle control lever. As for cons, there aren't too many. Some might consider it loud, but that's up to each one to decide. Using it with a pair of protective ear-muffs should help. Also, some owners claimed you should be careful when starting it, so be gentle, otherwise the starter rope might snap in time. Overall, the Troy-Bilt TB4BP is definitely a great machine. It weighs around 19 pounds, which is more than decent for such a backpack blower. The fact that it comes with a specially designed padded harness system really helps with comfort, so it shouldn't bother you not even after a couple of hours of continuous use. Of course, as you might expect, such a tool does not come cheap. This Troy Bilt sells for around $250 now, with a 50 bucks discount and Free Shipping included. So not for every wallet, but if you want a device that can handle nearly any job in your backyard, the price for this one is more than fair. You should know though that it's not Carb Compliant, so you will not be able to buy or use it in California.

Homelite Gas MightyLite Blower – factory reconditioned

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 15:34:40 +0000

If you need a powerful gas-powered leaf blower with an excellent price tag, this factory reconditioned Homelite ZR08520 MightyLite Blower can be your top pick. It sells for a discounted price and can be yours for only $59.99, with Free Shipping included, an excellent price for a petrol blower. But, you should know that the product id factory reconditioned. Still, something similar would cost new at least 80-90 bucks, so if budget is one of your main concerns... Anyway, this HomeLite can really kick some power, being able to handle almost any type of debriefs it might encounter in your yard. The 26cc engine does a great job of blowing everything away and is pretty quiet for its class. However, although the machine comes with an ergonomic anti-shake handle, strong vibrations transmitted by this engine on full speed can be quite annoying. Also, you should know that this device is not Carb-compliant, so cannot be used in California. All in all, the Homelite ZR08520 MightyLite Blower is great for the money and power it provides. Still, Homelite products are not famous for reliability, so in time you might have problems with the gas cap or starting the engine, according to previous owners. But keep in mind that this is a full power gas blower for the price of an electric sweeper... so a good choice for the money, although it has its problems.

High power Tanaka TBL-7800R 65 cc backpack blower

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:27:49 +0000

If you're looking for a high power leaf blower, perhaps one of the best ever created, the Tanaka TBL-7800R is the one for you, a device seamless in every aspect, but with a not so easy to swallow price tag attached, which makes it more a leaf blower meant for industrial use. Of course, home users will enjoy it, as long as they are willing to pay 500+ bucks for it. Take a look at the specs for this machine: - 2-stroke 65 cc 4.3 HorsePower engine - air volume: 850 CFM at housing, 655 CFM at pipe - air velocity 205 mph at pipe - noise level 75 db - wight: 22.9 pounds So, this Tanaka uses a big engine, capable of delivering impressive air volume and speed, thus being able to blow nearly everything. And, since the engine is a 2-stroke one, it will surely be very reliable in time, although not as economic as a 4-stroke one. And one more thing: the engine on this Tanaka blower is one of the cleanest petrol ones you're going to find on such a machine, being C.A.R.B Tier II compliant . However, this still doesn't make this tool usable in California, due to severe legislation there. The device is not heavy for the size of that engine, weighing around 23 pounds. You do get a comfortable harness system so you can carry it as a backpack, so you shouldn't have any back problems when using it. Also, you get a highly mobile air pipe with mounted throttle control switch. So, as you can see, the Tanaka TBL-7800R is the perfect backpack leaf blower if power is the thing you want. It had managed to impress all previous buyers, as it scores a perfect 5 out of 5 mark on Amazon, and that's something you almost never see. Plus, it's made in Japan and comes with 2 years full-warranty. However, such power comes with an impressive price tag, as this currently sells for $529.99 and that's with a 100 bucks discount. You do get Free Shipping included. Still, this device is expensive. But like i said, it's more targeted for industrial use, where its power and reliability will be greatly appreciated.

Ryobi ZR08510 portable leaf blower – factory refurbished – 55% off

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:34:08 +0000

You know that factory refurbished products are always great deals. This is also the case for this Ryobi ZR08510 portable gas powered leaf blower, available right now with a price cut of 55% and two year warranty. Actually, this is not just a blower, but also a vacuum/mulcher, so you can easily gather and store the leafs and debriefs in the special bags provided with the device (you can buy additional bags afterwards too). And since this Ryobi is a gas powered, it's very powerful (205 MPH and 375 CFM) and provides good mobility, because you won't have to worry about cords and power cables getting in your way. And that's great if you don't mind the extra noise (not a big difference though from an electric blower, as this os one of the most quiet petrol blowers on the market, but still). I consider this my personal best for this year's fall, cause it's the perfect balance between mobility, powerful and price. And speaking of prices, this Ryobi ZR08510 factory refurbished will cost you just only $79.99, as it now comes with 55% discount over the list price (this deal won't lat forever though and price might increase as we get closer to autumn. So better grab one fast!). Overall, this Roybi is definitely a great pick. For more details and pics, plus reviews and the options to buy one, click the link or the big button below.
