Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

OK, so I may be hyper-critical, but I have a dairy farm and use blowers at least 4 times a day. I ordered this one because it looked well built and the intake was on the rear. It said 'one hand operation'. Look closely at the pics, it's a MAN using it with one hand. I'm a 5'1" woman and carry 50# bags of feed frequently, but this thing is HEAVY for one hand. And, if you use 2 hands, it sucks all your clothes in, so if you're a guy--get it. If not and you don't want wrist strain, then get another brand. Now, to be fair, I complain about my other blowers also. They all have the intake on the bottom and that's not idea either--if you ever hang those down, they suck your clothing. The ideal placement for the intake would be on the front of the blower, away from your body--guess they need some women to help with designs. Overall, the motor is good, but it's too unwieldy for my frequent use.
