I bought the product a month ago.
Without having any experience with a petrol-powered blower, I decided to buy this one even though it was more expensive than other brands. When I used it for blowing pine needles and debris from concrete, it worked well. However, when I tried to clean the artificial grass, it was impossible. I tried using the duckbill attachment, but it still didn't have the performance I expected. So, I had to tape the edges of the duckbill attachment to make it work properly. That's how I get my job done.
The fuel consumption seems high to me, but maybe it's normal since I constantly use it at full throttle with the outlet partially closed.

Purchased in November 2018....239€ fixed price, it was the same everywhere. From the first moment, I realized that it is a very good tool, powerful, easy to use, and not at all tiring. I'm talking about blowing an entire estate for an hour straight. I am very satisfied. If you do the proper maintenance (weekly, monthly, yearly), it will definitely last you many years.
