Great light weight backpack blower
The HUSQVARNA 130BT blower is a good cost effect choice for the landscape work at the facility that the blower was purchased for. We do not use the unit on a daily basis so the more expensive comercial models were not really needed.
The unit has enough power and is fairly light. The noise levels during use is low.
We have only had the unit for a couple months so I am not sure about how it will hold up over the long haul but the unit appears to be well made.

Runs nice once I get it started
I'm happy with the blower except that it is hard to start. First time using I almost took it back to the store. The instructions on the side to pump 10 times seemed to flood the carb. Even now, it takes 3 to 5 pulls to start it. Has never started with only one or two pulls.
But once running it runs very good. Much more powerful than my previous handheld Poulan Pro. I like that my arms don't get tired holding it.

Good blower
This blower is very good. It starts very easy. Even my 11 year old daughter can operate this machine. The only concern that I have with this unit is the tube. I think that it should have a thicker side wall construction. It would make it more durable and would not increase the weight that much.

Fragile, run far away
Failed after 2 uses and the worst part is that Husqvarna refuses to honor the warranty. I will never buy a Husqvarna again. The contempt they have for their customers is unprecedented. Run far far away from them.

no parts for carb.
I really liked the performance for the first three years.The Blower will not start.There is no Carb repair kits. They want you to buy a new carb,which cost over a $100.00. The blower sells for $219.00 at Lowes.
PS. Do you think Jimmy Johnsons Race team would buy a car that you couldn't replace the parts on it.

try it you will like it
My husband and i had been looking all over for a blower hat i could handle,I was ready to give up. We went back to Sears for something else and of course i had to go back and see the blowers again.Hoping to see something i could afford and light enough i could carry since i have a bad back .I found this display,had no idea who husqvarna was. My husband assured me that husqvarna was a reputable name. I tried it on and walked out happy.

does its job
Good blower for its size, but if you have a big yard i recommend the next step up, which as a lot more power. Very good brand, starts quick every time

This blower is a great buy and a great price!
Not heavy, does not cause strain on your back and it is really powerful. Only thing I can see that would make this blower better, is if you could start it while it was on your back instead of having to put it on the ground to start.
