it is equal to pushing a non-self-propel lawn mower. The conditions were wet and muddy, so the front caster dose not pivot smoothly making it hard to push. It is easier pulling it backwards, which you have to do half the time as the blower does not pivot. There is a front blow attachment, but it is basically worthless. I used it for about 6 hours. I learned to push down on the handle allowing the cast to move freely. The bottom line is buy the backpack blower for twice the cost.

Large lot, many trees. Unit is well built and goes together easily. Wanted a unit that was a major improvement over my two hand held corded electric blowers, both rated at 110mph and 600CFM. But after starting the Yardmax I soon realized this would not be the case. I truly feel my hand held unit has more power to move leaves than this big gas powered unit. Decided to upgrade my hand held units to 135mph and 800CFM for 30 percent the price of this unit. See no advantage to having this unit, maintenance and gas adds to the disadvantage. Unless you can't carry hand held, I would not recommend this product.

I like that there is a lever to change the direction of the air flow. I only wish the frontal direction could be changed with a lever as well, as opposed to applying an extra piece to do so.

It was fine until the plastic throttle switch broke. It did exactly what I wanted it to do with the yard but it is mad of cheap plastic where metal should be.

i liked the blower. runs great. i couldve used a little more power for the yard ive got. but its definitely worth the price

Easy to assemble. Heavy duty construction. Wheels could roll a little better, but for firm terrain, it works fine

I am happy with the performance of the yard max and looking forward to using it the rest of the season!

This is not a high power blower, but if you just need it for your home use you will find it more than adequate. I gauged price against CFM and figured that this was the unit for me. The front swivel wheel is a big help. Assembly instructions were great. They even include oil for the motor and a long neck funnel!

Took a little while to assemble but instructions were clear.

Would be better if it had a cable operated discharge chute

for cleaning up the drive way of leaves .worked good.

Not enough blowing power for moving a bunch of leaves Easy start runs great easy handling assembling was easy.

Received it covered in oil. Shipping process did not take good care of this. I needed it that weekend and was not paying that much money and having to fix it as soon as I receive it. Returned it would have had to wait another week to get another one. No help to get it replaced sooner. So I just returned it. Not happy

I purchased this blower due to having trouble carrying the backpack blower I had previously and what a difference this blower has made in my life! I am so glad I purchased it!

2 days now and already having engine trouble.

I am 8 years old- and my mom bought this blower. It came last night and I put it together all by myself. It was easy to build and blowed so many leaves.

Well worth the money, very satisfied in the Yardmax 150 mph 1200 cfm 209cc walk behind leaf blowers performance

Great product. Was a good buy for the money spent. Lightweight yet heavy duty. Would definitely recommend

Orientation of front swivel could have been a little better shown or explained for some of us.

The blower works well. The only thing I had to do was adjust the direction of flow.

I purchased and put together. Won’t be using it till the leaves fall again.

Easy to get ready out of the box started right up got the job done quickly

Easy to crank and blows leaves real good. Especially for older people

i just removed the shoot and now it blows to the side like my old one

It came on time and was in perfect condition. I would recommend it.

Didn't have the blowing power on my yard leaves and clippings.

Works very well but could have some attachments with it.
