Craftsman 27cc 2-Cycle Gas Leaf Blower and Vacuum (BV245) – 205 MPH, 450 CFM, Vacuum Kit with Bag, Easy Start

This blower has plenty of power to move leaves and debris. The 205 mph speed is no joke. It starts easily and runs smoothly. The vacuum feature works great too – it mulches leaves into a fine bag. Highly recommend.

The blower is very effective, but it's a bit heavy and can get tiring after extended use. The easy start feature is nice. The vacuum kit is convenient. If you have a large yard, you might consider a backpack blower, but for the price, this is good.

I bought this for my autumn leaves, and it's been fantastic. The blowing power clears leaves quickly, and the vacuum crushes them down, so I don't have to rake as much. The bag is easy to empty. This is a tool I use every fall.

It works well for light to medium leaves, but if you have a lot of wet heavy leaves, it struggles. The vacuum can clog occasionally. It's a good budget option, but not for heavy-duty use.

I like the versatility of blower and vacuum in one. The performance is good for the price. It's easy to switch between modes. The only issue I had was that the shoulder strap wasn't included, but I bought one and it's fine now.

This blower starts on the first or second pull every time. The vacuum mulches leaves to about 1/10th of their volume, which is great. It's a workhorse in my garage. I've used it for two seasons and it's still going strong.

I had high hopes, but this blower/vacuum let me down. The vacuum clogs easily and the blower doesn't have enough power for large piles of leaves. It also vibrates a lot. I'll be going back to a corded electric blower.

I was skeptical about a 2-cycle blower, but this one is great. It's lighter than my old one and just as powerful. The vacuum feature is a lifesaver for my oak tree leaves. The bag is easy to empty and the unit is well-balanced. I'm very satisfied.
