I've had this blower for 8 years. Never a problem. I haven't ever needed repairs. Works great. Starts every time. Love it.

I've had this blower for about a year. I use it a lot on a couple different properties. The power is great and really saves time at how fast you can clean up. It always fires right up, very durable. By far my favorite piece of equipment in the garage.

Out of the box started on one pull. Great power gets the job done! There is nothing bad I can say about this blower.

After a quick assembly of the elbow and tubes (use a little spray lubricant when mating the tubes, on the inside tube surface, they turn/tighten much easier), I told my wife I was only going to "try it out." I put 1/2 can of Husky premix fuel in the tank and pulled the starter cord twice to start the blower (with choke on), turned the choke off, walked out of the garage, put the blower on my back and blew the leaves off my 1/2 acre front yard to the street. Ops, sorry honey. What has normally been an all-day job for me in the past, took under 45 minutes. Why didn't I purchase one of these years ago??? After reading a bunch of reviews on-line, I agree that this blower is well worth the price, delivering high performance with minimal effort and cost. It was easy to operate, functioned well, easy to control, wasn't heavy (but I'm 6-4, 195 lbs) and blew like crazy when the throttle was cranked. It also performed well at low RPMs/low blowing force, when I was making my neat leaf piles on the street. Go figure, getting the leaves off the front lawn was actually fun. Did I say I liked the cruse control throttle feature?! FYI, I did purchase the three quarts of Husky pre-mixed fuel when I purchased the blower, and got the extended warranty, thanks Husqvarna! Oh, by the way, the people that say the gas purge bulb is difficult or in a bad spot, they are just lazy.

I just got this unit and have used it only once. I would have given more stars on the ergonomics but the shoulder straps are hard to get used to and makes the blower difficult for an older guy to put on. The blower started right up and is fairly quiet for an engine this size. I have an acre lot and it used an entire can of Husqvarna gas to do. I suppose a big blower a big fuel user. The power is great, this blew piles of leaves that I thought I would have to rake. It had great action up to ten feet away. I'm glad I bought it and know because it's a Husqvarna it will be working great for years to come.

I used for blowing off debris like leaves and gutter. But I didn't use gutter tube I had to get on top of the house that was dangerous. I almost lost my balance. That leaf blower so powerful with 251 mph air force. Wow! it's fast. GIT-R-DONE!!!

The Husqvarna Backpack 150 did a great job in blowing my leaves. It was relatively quiet, especially when one wears ear protectors, and is pretty comfortable, albeit somewhat heavy. The only problem I had was that when starting the blower out of the box, it would only run when the choke was on. When trying to take off the choke, it died. I had to immediately have the carburetor replaced. This model does not allow the carburetor to be adjusted, so service had to replace it.

I use my 150BT to clean up lawn clippings and heavy leaf build up in the fall. I purchased mine at Twin Ponds Engine Service in Danville, PA. I was looking at another high end brand and this one. The guys at Twin Ponds told me that for the money this would be a wise choice. They took it off the rack as it was already assembled, started it up and made sure it was tuned properly. That's the difference from buying from a dealer rather than the big box stores. I've had this blower for two years. I haven't had one issue with it. I only use 93 octane gas mixed with Husqvarna oil. When cold I prime it three times, close the choke and it starts on the first pull. I let it warm for 15 seconds and then open the choke and it's ready to go with excellent trigger response. I purchased a flat nozzle for it and it makes a world of difference as it was blowing stones with ease. Do not choke the engine when it is warm or you will have a rough time starting it and flood the carburetor. Don't forget to open the choke. This is the best blower I've ever owned.

The unit comes almost completely assembled. Except for the blower nozzle tube. There isn't an exploded view that shows the order and direction of assembly. The trick is to slide the trigger on from the far end of that tube unit. It took me 20 plus min to figure it out. I'm not stupid. It just was not obvious to me. A quick graphic indicating that would have helped. Also, when I tightened down the bolt for the trigger assembly, the wing nut didn't turn and the other end pushed through the capped nut. Ugly, but worked. I can always replace the nut for a few pennies. The right side harness kept falling off. No matter how tight I pulled it. I'll have to tie or clip it to the left one. I'm tall and the nozzle tube could be a little longer 1ft. I had trouble getting under some bushes. (Being picky, I can buy an additional extension...I think.) Finally, I ran it for 2-3hrs and it worked very well. The Trigger unit was comfortable and very easy to use. I had planned to use ear plugs; but, never felt I needed them. I was running late after the long assembly time. Next time I'll use them. Everything listed above is easy to fix. I'm happy with the unit and the purchase!

I have gone through so many of the cheap leaf blowers, I finally decided to try the big boy! I hate anything being on my drive way< I think I'm getting older< this thing made short work of the job. Its not to heavy, quite and blows like crazy!!!!!! I hate that I'm this excited about a leaf blower however I would recommend this blower time and time again.
