I bought this for my medium-sized yard and it works great. The starting is reliable, and it's light enough that my arm doesn't get tired after clearing the whole driveway and sidewalk. The airflow is strong enough for all the oak leaves I get.

As a first-time leaf blower user, I found this very easy to operate. The variable speed is helpful for getting near the garden beds without blowing mulch everywhere. It's a bit loud but that's expected with a gas engine.
