SuperHandy Ultra Duty Leaf & Debris Blower 7HP 212cc 4 Stroke OHV Motor

The housing between the motor and the fan the housing cracked completely around the shaft other than that it still works but I have to contact the manufacturer about it

*EDITED Due to Year Later Failure * See the pictures I uploaded..due to a crack in the impeller area where the shaft goes through from a material failure, the impeller began to walk the shaft and the blades began hitting the hardware of the shield. Because of this, I cannot even repair it. I've tried to locate a new impeller but so far no luck. If I cannot find one, that makes this a one year use, and I would caution anyone considering it. The method of failure makes this extremely unsafe as even with the shield you risk shrapnel exiting this unit and could cause harm. Wheels: Due to the size and the single front, you will have situations where when in softer ground/ heavier brush or uneven ground you will wrestle the blower around to maneuver it. Not a deal breaker, just know unless you are on pavement you will get a good workout while moving this around. impossible but not impossible but can be frustrating. Inlets: I don't know if this is even something to complain about as I can only assume it's the nature of the beast and all the blowers like this do it. While using in heavier leaf clearing, obviously leaves can blow all around and will eventually cover the inlet in the front with obviously noticeable output degradation. simple fix by just using your hand to sweep them off but can get frustrating.

I'm a master mechanic who literally started at a small engine shop. Here is my review. This is not cheap junk. I expected to be able to recognize cost cutting features and there's not a lot. The ONLY problem I've found is the attachment point of the bars, if you crank the bolts down tight you may crack the orange paint at the lip of the metal, this is due to the handle bars bending too shallowly. Other than that, this machine is solid from top to bottom. Mine started on the first pull. Fuel shutoff is up+down On, side-to-side off. The metal of the casement is nice and thick, it's a heavy unit. The box it comes in does the job of holding it, but just barely. Expect to need 2 people to move it and open it. If you're new to walk behind leaf blowers, the rubber meets the road at the discharge chute angle. The black hood that is adjustable at the discharge chute is for directing the air flow. If you aim it more upwards, the airflow will be very powerful and blow leaves 15 to 20 feet. If you turn it more downwards, the airflow will be aimed at the ground more, causing the leaves to move less. Fine tuning this adjustment as you go is how you create nice piles. There is an adjustment knob on the carburetor setup that will allow you to crank up the RPM a little more, if you should choose to. I didn't find it necessary. Be warned that the engine is not designed to run faster than the preset, so you may void warranty or harm the engine. You'll need a 12mm wrench and a 13mm socket/ratchet to assemble the front wheel and handle bars, and a pair of pliers to install the clips for the back wheels. 5w-30 oil is fine, fill it until it comes back out at you. Like any brand new engine, let it run an hour or so on your first use. Don't just fire it up to test it and then shut it off and store it. Go use it. I did my entire front yard today in an hour. Worked beautifully. Keep your manuals for parts purchases. Since the EPA banned adjustable small engine carbs, they've gotten super cheap and very finicky. I don't expect failure any time soon but I also know it's the weak point of any small engine produced in the last 15 years. You'll struggle to find a comparable blower for the money. Truly. The ones you see chained to trees for crazy money are near death, and these units fit the bill very nicely.

Works well on smoother ground but rocky areas not so well .. Blows leafs very far and has lots of power..

I couldn’t be more impressed with the SuperHandy Walk Behind Leaf Blower. From the moment I fired it up, it was clear this machine means business. The 7HP 209cc engine delivers incredible power, and at 150 MPH with 1270 CFM, this blower clears leaves, debris, and even small branches like they were nothing. It’s like wielding a hurricane on wheels. What really stands out is the manual-propelled wheeled design. It’s easy to maneuver even across uneven terrain, and I actually prefer it to self-propelled models because I can adjust my pace. The blower housing and fan construction feel rock-solid, and even after extended use, there’s no vibration fatigue or loss of performance. I’ve used backpack blowers before, but nothing compares to the output and ease of use of this walk-behind beast. Whether you’re managing a large yard, a farm, or commercial property, this machine is a game changer. Cleanup that used to take me over an hour is now done in 15 minutes. Highly recommend this product — reliable, powerful, and worth every penny.

So easy to use and it starts easy enough for our 70yr old neighbor to use.
