The Reviews of Gas Powered Backpack Blower With Tube Mounted Throttle Solo 471 53cc 3 HP 2-Stroke
One buyer affirmed that this Solo equipment is of high quality. He compared this item to its top competitors mentioning the Stihl BR600 and the Redmax 8000/1, Echo, etc. He said that he was able to use all these brands and nothing could match Solo. He added that even if Redmax blows pretty hard, the airstream is much harder to direct and it is much heavier than Solo’s. He also stated that there are many issues concerning recalls and design problems for the said competitor.One customer observed that the backpack leaf blower is great for any size yard. Since they have over 60 oak trees, the machine worked fine without any problems. He considered this machine as the easiest power tool to start. Among the few other backpack blowers that he tried, he found out that this product could give better results. In addition, he said that this machine is not only powerful but also quieter. Machine usage could last between 2-1/2 and 3 hours on full power with the oil and gas. He recommended that if someone is looking for a blower, this machine should be considered.
Another consumer said that when he received the unit, the end nozzle was missing and the trigger linkage was not working properly. Although when started, the machine runs well, but could not be able to control the speed. He called Solo 800 number and talked to a technician who was very responsive. He had been promised to replace the end nozzle for his machine.
One month user of this machine disclosed that the unit arrived well packaged and was easy to assemble with a provided tool. He was just a little confused by the instructions on the use of a special oil mixture which did not come with the device. He indicated that it was the only “con” that he observed with this product. The manual suggested that other oils can be used at a much higher ratio. He still gave a high rating for the performance of this machine. It is the best gas powered backpack blower
