I purchased the unit because I have a ton of leaves and I wanted to put them in my compost bins, but they compost better if they are shredded in some way. I couldn't afford a unit for my mower so this unit was the answer. It picks up small to medium leaves well, but very large or heavy ones, not so much. It does a good job of picking up and shredding the leaves and the bag is large enough that it becomes full and heavy enough for you to want to empty it within just a few minutes. The only down side is that the connector that connects the bag to the blower is a bit tight and is sometimes hard to get disconnected. Otherwise, I love it!

This leaf blower is a great improvement over the much older Craftsman blower I had. I thought I'd miss the variable speed of the old one, but the two speed blower on this one is just fine. I usually only need the low speed. The blower is easy to hold, and the big handle lets you carry and, when it is time to put it away, hang it on the wall with ease. I have not tried the vacuum, since the leaves in my yard are from a magnolia tree, and would be hard to suck up.

Typical high quality Craftsman product. Powerful blower function but the whine is a bit more than my retired variable-speed Model 151-30381. The vacuum/shredding function is first rate, making short work of leaf piles. It prefers dry leaves, but can shred wet ones too. This could be marketed as a leaf vacuum/shredder with a blower attachment.

This yard tool not only is a two speed yard blower, but vacuums and mulches twigs & leaves. The motor power is satisfactory; the steel impeller durable. I like the feature that cuts the power if the bag becomes unsecured. The leaf blower & vac is exactly as ordered and arived ahead of schedule.

Solid, not flimsy. I was able to vac leaves out in between shrubs. Bag holds quite a bit and chops leaves up pretty fine. Put some lube on the zipper. wax or Soap. Bag zipper coming unglued in a small area. Otherwise good value. Powerful Blower and has extra nozzle. So far so good...used for a couple hours. Happy.
