$ 26.36
- I bought one of these 63cc no-name backpack blowers, and it has been going strong for 16 months. It is a great value if you need big power, but there are some downsides:The design is crude, the materials are very cheap-feeling (*not breaking though), and the comfort and ergonomics are worse than the big brands. I had to use hot water to coax some of the plastic duct together during assembly. I got the backpack straps on wrong because I didn’t see how they went together. The throttle had too much friction until I fiddled with it and drowned the cable in oil.The only reliability problems have been the from the fuel hoses and filters. The fuel hoses lost their flexibility so I put zip ties on the help them seal – super easy. The symptom for filter problems was after starting (using the priming bulb) it would lose power and die shortly after giving it throttle. The fuel filter on the end of the intake hose in the bottom of the tank began disintegrating and would clog and also let filter material into the carburetor (which has a fine screen inside that caught the fibers, so a 15 minute fix). Definitely consider better hoses and do something about the fuel filter before you have to pull the carb, which isn’t hard by carb standards, but still annoying.If that sounds like a lot of problems, it’s not. That is very reasonable for a machine costing 1/3 of a comparably powerful brand-name blower. This thing will run for hours at or near full throttle and show no signs of straining. The power is overkill for the suburbs, but that’s how I want my leaf blower to be.The manual suggests the fuel-oil ratio should be quite oily, 24 or 26-to-1, though I’ve ran 32:1 most of the time. I’ve also used random things like bar oil and motor oil with no ill effects. I wouldn’t be afraid to run cooking oil if I had to blow leaves and somehow ran out of petroleum, if that saved me a trip to the store. I’ll also try to run it empty or at least use some additive in the gas to help keep it from spoiling and clogging the carb when storing it a while. All fuel has been the lowest octane trash, loaded with ethanol… because that’s what my baby girl likes to drink.
