I looked at quite a few leaf blowers before deciding on this one. The two selling points for this one were weight and price (under $20 open box). I bought "Used Acceptable" condition and aside from the box being re-taped it was like new. I have a 24 ft. wide, 150 ft. long packed gravel driveway, I wanted a lower amperage unit to allow for the long cord length. I used a 50' 16 gauge cord, plugged into a heavy duty 100' 12 gauge 3 outlet commercial cord to reach out to street. The blower worked great, barely getting warm to the touch on the motor housing or cord connections, and maintaining constant power thanks to being only 6 amps. The only real negative is I am 6' tall and the nozzle is a bit short and straight. This makes it difficult to push leaves once they start piling up. I wish it had a longer nozzle with a bit of an upward curve at the end to help get air under the leaves. It works, but I have to bend over a lot to get air under piled up leaves to move them along. I may try fabricating something to attach on the end to help with this. Definitely beats raking, keeps most of my gravel in driveway.
