Had credit card points so decided to give it a try (free). Out of the box Assembly is simple for anyone. Packaging was great. Started up on second pull and ran great. Prime the fuel bulb on the bottom of the carb 4-6 times before starting and with choke on you are good to go. Recoil is going to be this blower’s down fall. It grabs super late. Not good if you have employees using it but homeowners should be fine. Off switch is kind of cheap feeling on first impression but time will tell on that one. It definitely shares a lot of it build characteristics from a red max 7000 series blower which is a very good commercial brand so that is a good thing and one of the attractions i had to this. Power is very good will handle leaf blower very well. Overall its not a bad blower I think for light commercial use and for homeowners it should last a long time especially for the price. Blowers do not get beat up to bad and mainly run full throttle so for now my review is 4 stars based on price, style/construction, quality and power.

After much thought and review of countless brands, types, product reviews I took a leap of faith on a relatively unknown brand (PRORUN) and so far it's the best decision I could have made for a high power/volume leaf blower. Simple and straightforward assembly even though the directions could use some tuning in a few areas. The blower tubes are really the only thing requiring assembly and then adjusting the harness to fit. Got it 2 days ago and finally today I had a chance to start it up and use it briefly. The start up was EASY (follow the instructions and you will have no problem). This is a fairly heavy machine so beware and I would strongly suggest you dry fit test it before use so you know how it will feel BEFORE you have it running. The power of this machine is incredible so please read and follow safety instructions (eye and ear protection is a MUST) because if you haven't used a machine with this kind of power it can be a bit overwhelming as it has hurricane force power but remarkably little to no vibration. If you need a blower with more power than you can imagine go BUY this one You will NOT be disappointed. It is a GREAT machine and you will NOT find a better one for the power and price. Very happy customer here and a new fan of PRORUN.

An obvious Chinese design, which has its list of quirks. The main one for me is the pull start mechanism feels cheap and every pull has me wondering if it will break. Parts appear available, but only from this company, as part numbers aren't specific enough to source elsewhere). Other annoyances include blow tubes that don't stay locked, a thumb screw that was too short, a carb that wasn't adjusted properly (ProRun said they couldn't send me the tool and offered no real other assistance despite it being a recent purchase). The unit does have impressive power, low vibration, is quite light given the alleged c/c count. Assembling all blow tubes allows it to get it within inches of the ground to fully focus blowing force. A reducer you can pop on the very last tube, I assume, increases air speed (at expense of CFM). Bottom line: Don't buy this unit if you are not handy and can't fix its shortcomings.

We run both the stihl and husqvarna blowers and have scaled up our crew this year for heavy duty leaf cleanups. \r\nWe ordered this to give it a shot because we need a lot more blowers. \r\nAt 1/2 the price of both our more expensive models I’d say:\r\n\r\n It’s on par with the 570bts in every way and exceeds in carb accessibility and it has a support for the blower tube that elevates a lot of fatigue on long days. It’s something I wish my other models had. But I do wish it had a chest strap., \r\nIt shares the same power as the Br800. There are some nice conveniences for the BR800, (telescoping tube, hip start, slightly more throttle resolution) but 2X the price.\r\n\r\nWe will buy 2-3 more of these backpacks. I’d say for somebody just starting out commercially, this is a great option. As well as in my case when you need a lot more blowers and business is taking off. If they hit a few of those convenience points from the Stihl and kept it in the same price range it would be pretty hard to beat.

Reviewed on www.homedepot.com·Erick
I bought this blower when I was taking care of a .25 acre property in northern Idaho. It was exactly what I needed as I previously owned a hand held stihl blower. The property brought of blowing needs in all seasons (yes all) and holding a hand held unit was taxing. This Prorun blower offers plenty of power and it did the job. The only criticism I would offer is starting the unit: the choke control did not stay in the choke position often and the pull cord to me is short and taunt making for a harder initial pull. All said I still like it and would recommend it as a good value for the price point.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·josh
I was looking for something to make shorter work of getting rid of 2 years of leaves that have fallen on our property. I had another backpack leaf blower around 350CFMs that just wasn't cutting it. It took less time to rake them. \n\nI did some research and this PRORUN was easier on the wallet, but still boasts 1000 CFMs. \n\nThis thing is a BEAST. I was naturally (or unnaturally?) walking in circles after fighting the way it was torquing my body. It'll blow away piles of wet leaves, sticks, rocks, acorns, small children - you name it. \n\nRan like a top out of the box and has already seen several hours of use. It's heavy, so keep that in mind. It could also use another handle or strap so you can pull the blower tube with your left hand. \n\nMost importantly, I like to pretend it's a minigun as I walk around my property, yelling, "get in the choppa."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the leaf blower yesterday and after assembly, which was very straightforward and easy, I went through a tank full of the 50 to 1 fuel mixture and found the blower to have very strong performance.

After doing my homework, I purchased this LB and it was shipped to me. I then discovered that the spark plug wire was broken while trying to start for the first time.Well I dialed up the support number and Sam picked up. I explained the situation and he immediately understood, apologized, quickly and easily verified my purchase and then set up a plan to make things right. Within 1 week I had a replacement LB delivered. I have been using it here in Michigan for the past two weeks and it works as good as the 5-star reviews suggest. Super powerful and moves a ton of leaves. Sam provided a text number for me to use in case I had any other concerns or issues. I wasn’t too happy about the situation at first but PRORUN made it right and demonstrated that they stand by their product and satisfaction of their customer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got it yesterday. It works as expected. There is just one thing that is less than prefect. It is very difficult to turn the switch between "stop" and "start/run". Some force that is strong enough to break the switch handle is needed to push the switch from running to stop or from stop to idle. Because it was so difficult, it took my more than a hour to get to know how to stop the machine.

Just assembled it today, and of course it's been raining for a week straight, but still wanted to test it. It blew away the wet leaves an impressive distance from where I was standing at my garage door. Noticeably more power than the stihl I've rented the last few years. Can't attest to fuel consumption or reliability yet, but will be sure to update as needed. BIG plus for me was the full breakdown and parts diagram plus part numbers in the manual. The only downfalls as others have mentioned: no place to securely hold it down while starting, and the shoulder straps seem a little chinsy, but the waist strap adds a lot of stability. So far I'm very impressed and excited for the leaves to dry up for a full test run.

Wow - this has amazing power. I bought this to replace an echo backpack blower which died just before the fall leaf season. I just received yesterday and it took 20 minutes to assemble. I thought I would take a few minutes to try it out. The power amazed me. I have 40 acres - 38 acres of hardwoods and a 2 acre yard where all the leaves accumulate at the bottom of the hill. My yard also has large sycamores that produce significant amounts of very large leaves. I blow leaves all October to stay ahead of the accumulating leaves. In this few minutes I was able to do all leaves that had fallen. This was half the time it use to take. This is a serious blower for someone who has a big leaf problem.

The blower has a lot of power however the harness is quite disappointing. The buckles constantly bend and come loose from the attachment points.

Like others, I was skeptical because I’m not familiar with the brand, however worth the gamble at 1/3 less than comparables. I will say I struggled to start it the first time. I think I flooded it because the manual mentions priming 10 times! That’s seems excessive. I’ve had no problems getting it to start after that first attempt, with just 3 or 4 priming pumps. The blower itself is powerful! Kiss your mulch goodbye because this will blow everything away :). Two modes, fast and beast mode.
