    Does this leaf blower have all the features you're looking for? Would you need a cruise control button?

    Same brand as kress. Looks like they are pushing production on multiple brands and it seems as though they are doing great. I have had the caterpillar phone for the past 2 to 3 years and has been a tank.

    Husqvarna’s is 800CFM and 200MPH where this one is 800CFM and 170MPH. Still this one looks impressive for a battery blower though the runtime stops me from buying either.

    maybe i missed it but, does it have a battery level indicator? letting you know how much battery you have left as your blowing. in leaning into ordering one this week.
    thank you in advance.

  • @RoundheadRecords
    @RoundheadRecords 7 місяців тому +1

    Could you field a question - was given one after a friend passed. Battery charges fully - led all good - blower will not start - worth it to have it fixed or is it done?

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  7 місяців тому

      That's a good question. I had a battery that showed it was charged, but wouldn't power the unit. I ended up getting a warranty claim and the new battery works just fine now. It could be the blower too. I wonder if it's possible to get a warranty claim?

    When the leaf blower was running and it lasted 25 minutes or so at what speed did you have it on one, two, or three,?

    Looks like a great tool, however, I already have ample battery’s and other tools from ego, Milwaukee, makita, and dewalt and it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy this tool. Plus, I still prefer my br800 for serious work, as it more comfortable to use.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  Рік тому +1

      This might make more sense for a homeowner just getting into a new battery platform. I like it for the quick mower deck cleanup in a homeowner setting. I also have a br800 and it's great for a lawncare setup.

    I’ve been looking at this blower for a while because I was attracted to it due to its power and CFM. It also has a good warranty and it’s lightweight but 24 minutes of runtime ? Sorry but that’s crap. I can’t believe it.
    now I’m wondering what else I can look at that’s similar, but has better runtime.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  9 місяців тому

      I haven't found better runtime unless you get a big backpack battery, like Makita offers. This impressed me for battery power.

      Electric isn’t reliable!! Dont do electric! You will constantly drain your batteries quick and swapping them out multiple times for a simple job!! Gas you can work
      long! And freely! Btw the batteries in this are over $100.00 each and only runs 24 minutes! Only one battery you get so guess what! Your battery runs out! Youre not finishing your work!
