Tools and Hardware Reviews of Husqvarna 125B 28cc 2-Stroke 170-MPH Gas-Powered Handheld Gas Blower (CARB Compliant)Customer Review: Powerful, lightest and high quality handheld blower Summary: 5 Stars
Let me explain the three adjectives I used in the title of this review:
Powerful
This blower provides more than enough RPMs for various activities like:
cleaning up leaves,
cleaning/blowing dirt from your driveway,
cleaning left overs from your yard after you are done mowing your lawn.
pressure blowing against the sides and shingles of your home to clean spider webs
I have tried a few other blowers in same category (home owner's handheld blowers) and this blower beats those by any day.
Lightest
Among the blowers I tested, inspected, this is by far the lightest (again in its category). For the amount of power it provides its really quite light. I would still say that if you are looking to do long hours of work and cannot imagine carrying the blower though light weight in your hands for long hours, please do get yourself the one with backpack. I somehow find the handheld version more convenient.
High quality
All of blower's parts, design is really high quality. You can certainly tell what you are paying for. None of the mechanisms on this blower were fragile or flimsy. It has a solid construction and well thought out design.
A few more features I like about this blower are:
1. No electric wires, hand held design makes it more flexible and maneuverable in hard to reach areas.
2. It has the rubber knob to push air out of the valve in order to help start the blower faster. Many old snow blowers also have had this knob and I find it very handy especially if you are using it for the first time in the spring season after keeping it unused in garage for entire winter season.
3. I feel that this blower uses fuel very efficiently. I could easily go several hours of non stop blowing without needing to fill the gas tank.
4. Husqvarna does provide a gutter cleaning attachment (you can purchase separately for $29 from their website) and vaccum attachment both of which can be handy.
5. It has two buttons: one that you press and runs the blower as long as you have it pressed. The other button is such that you can adjust it to a speed you need and forget about it and blower keeps running at that speed. This way you can use it in a mode where you just need to blow frequently but only when you find something to blow OR use it in a mode where you need to keep blowing certain area for long amount of time for a desired speed.
A few downsides to consider before you buy this blower:
1. This blower is handheld so if you plan on blowing for long hours and imagine that it could cause you hand fatigue, shoulder pain or so. I would say that do not buy this version. You can go for any other backpack blower that you may like. Its basically your choice because some people find hand held a better choice because they have back issues and don't want to stress their back carrying heavy blower on their backs. Some people don't like carrying blower in hand as it can be tiring after 20 min or so.
2. This blower does need mixture of oil and gas. So if you are particular about using the mixture every time, you would be fine. On the other hand if you think that having oil and gas mixed in a separate container is a hassle then you might want to consider a blower that takes gas in its gas inlet and oil in its oil inlet OR simply an electric corded OR cordless blower.
A money saving tip: I bought mine at Lowe's as I could use their 10% off coupon
hope that helps
