Power

The 48cc 2-stroke motor is sure to make quick work of any leaves, debris, or anything else you need out of the way. Fire it up, and you’ll unleash a hurricane. The variable speed throttle control that comes with the backpack blower allows you to adjust all the way up to the impressive 200 mph top speed, and all the way down to a more leisurely speed for more delicate jobs.

Ergonomics

You are probably tired of the difficulty of keeping a consistent speed with most variable speed throttle controls. With the cruise control that comes with this Poulan Pro model, that isn’t a problem. The backpack is light enough to be easily used for hours without discomfort.

Great Design

The design of this backpack blower is probably its greatest feature. It has downfalls, like any product does of course, but the benefits far outweigh the downsides of the design. Overall, one of the main downsides is most likely that the assembly may be a bit confusing, but once it is figured out, it is a matter of minutes before you are ready to go. Once you’ve got it assembled, you’ll notice that the heavy duty frame makes it feel sturdy, not cheap. The hose on the blower is screwed on and isn’t going to come off easily like most other designs that end up just frustrating you. The trigger response doesn’t need any words to describe it other than instant. Despite the heavy duty design, it’s still compact enough to be stored anywhere.

Versatility

Looking at the backpack blower, you might not expect that there are much more uses for it than just clearing lawns. It’s powerful enough that you can clear rocks and whatever you need moved with it! Additional uses for it can be drying your car or even clearing snow from your walkway. There really isn’t much you can’t do with it because of its commercial-grade power.
