Petrol Leaf Blower, petrol 25.4cc

So I have had bad experience with blowers . Bought a battery one from screwfix . Wasn’t strong enough . Bought a screwfix Titan petrol and it stoped working . Got it replaced with another and that didn’t even start . So I took the risk and got this one and it worked straight away . The reason I like this that it’s got a Manual choke which you can use to help start . Auto chokes don’t seem to work well on these blowers . Also the mixing bottle is a great addition as it makes it easy to make petrol oil mix . Hint I would mark the correct side you need the 25:1 ratio . Fill the large part with petrol up to 5 or 10 level . Then fill small section with oil 5 or 10 level . Put lids back on tip do oil section mixes with petrol section and shake .

First time every had a blower like this and what a fantastic tool. Before I used a squeegee to brush the leafs of the grass which took all morning , this did it in a fraction of the time including bagging up as well. Very little vibration even holding it for a long time and the power output should please anyone with a garden. I have a 60x60ft garden with 4 large oak trees with TPO's on them so they can't be touched. That is not including other trees and bushes adding to the fall . This little wonder coped far better than I expected. I did have to go over the lawn twice but considering how much was on the grass I expected to have to do it several timesThe machine was easy to start and the pipes locked together well (but I could not line up the screw hole to the machine, a minor point and not necessary in my opinion)Update Now had the Gtech leaf blower for 2 years and still as good as new. I see some reviews give the wrong starting proceedure, all I have to do is pull up the choke button on the top and then pull on the starting chord. It usually starts on second tug which is not hard to do..Anyone thinking abut getting one go for it you won't regret it. It has save me no end of hours of hand raking, what would have taken over a day to do is nowdone in under an hourConclusionIf anyone is considering getting this type of machine don't look any further, this little blower really works well and does the job.Had it now for a few seasons and just had to replace the fuel lines from the petrol tank to the engine and carbs and it looks as if they were burnt or something as they fell apart.Not a hard job to replace except be aware of 2 sizes of plastic tubes . Update Now had it 6 years and still as good as new. Used several times each year and only just had to blow out the micro filter in the fuel tank, Hardest part was replacing the rubber seal where the fuel line enter. replaced tubes still ok so worth replacingLittle tip One fuel line has a filter the other does not and can ride up from the tank bottom. After a little head scratching decided all it needed was to be cable tied to the pipe with the filter problem solved. putting a new pipe on is easier if put into warm/hot water to soften it

ordered Saturday 10pm posted Monday 10am received Tuesday 10.30 a m excellent delivery.free mixing bottle and plug spanner included....feels solid started with no problems ,took it easy to run machine in turned off after 30 mins to rest ,, moved a good quantity of wet leaves { acer +laurel } day after run a bit harder did fine ...design is ok ,weight is ok .fuel primer bit awkward but fine once located , my 2 very small gripes are handle on pull start a bit small and the choke isvertical and could be snapped off.. on saying that all chokes on most gardening equipment are plastic..good powerfull blower if you aint got big money your cash is wisely spent here. only time will tell if it can hack the long road thru summer but if taken care of I suspect no problems...rang supplier to confirm oil type {synthectic or mineral} nice quick precise answers in total no hassles what so ever..........29/9/17....had this blower about a year .used over summer probably run for 90 mins every week on full blast... heres what I found outthe mixing bottle supplied is not very good seems to leak if you leave petrol in it..THE BLOWER...starts 1st time after primed .. I use stihl hand held blowers when I work for other people and I would say they are more powerfull due to the fact they rev higher .. slightly better design as well.. BUT they cost double and are not twice the machine .. if you are 5days a week gardener you will probably have a backpack blower any way... this is a good product if used for purpose I do some large gardens and blow long strimmed field grass to stop clumps of grass killing grass underneath.. it does struggle with very long very wet grass but so do most hand held blowers.I have read reviews that say its smokey exhaust ( to much oil ) be care full with your ratio of oil and petrol ..also disintragated carb pipes. I just fixed a strimmer with new pipes available on e bay very cheap but I believe if you empty the mix out and run till fuel is completely out of the carb and pipes it might last longer , but no hassle to buy and fit ..ALL IN ALL WORTH THE MONEY FOR DOMESTIC GARDEN USE AND PART TIME GARDENERS...EVERYTHING STILL WORKS AS IT DID WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE BOX,,,,.......STILL 5 * STAR PRODUCT IN MY BOOK..HERE COME WINTER LEAVES IF IT BREAKS YOU WILL KNOW.......JAN 2018... STILL WORKING FINE ALL IN ALL NO COMPLAINTS WHAT SO EVER FOR PART TIME WORK ...WOULD BUY ANOTHER NO PROBLEM ..........

I have had it nearly a year and as a matter of course I start it monthly. Well I try to. All my other petrol driven garden tools (mower, strimmer, hedge cutter) start almost first time but this thing. OMG. Usually waste an hour or so spread over the best part of a day trying to start it.Save yourself the grief, buy something decent not this garbage.Trouble is this machine floods VERY easily. There is a real technique to getting it started. Pump the little button jobby, full choke then a couple of pulls - be ready to use the throttle and back off the choke. Its a good machine once you avoid flooding!
