Wild Badger PowerWBBPBL43 43cc Backpack Blower, Blue

Although the setup is a pain due to poor instructions, it’s a great device. Having said that, the plastic gas housing leaked after the first use. (Annoying)Tips: When connecting the throttle handle, you may need some vice grips if you connect all the tubs first. If you assemble the handle and then loosen it slightly, you should be able to slide on the first tube. Then connect the other tubes. (This will reduce your frustrations). Priming: 10 primes was perfect (instructions on the pull chord were correct) and it runs beautifully. Blower speed and power is adjusted by the power switch on the throttle handle. Once you found the optimal location, you’ll know. (Don’t forget to take it off of stop when you get ready to use it again.)I read several reviews that were very disparaging of this product, but I’d say it’s user error. If you are not patient and expect a quick flip it on and no tweaking needed… buy an electric or a battery powered one. If you want a powerful, lightweight, efficient gas blower… I highly recommend it.Why 4 stars? Instructions and assembly were lacking and the gas leak. (Which I fixed with some bonding)

Bought in December 2021, has seen brutal commercial use. Never failed to start. Ultra reliable!!YOU CANT GO WRONG

Was admittedly skeptical about this blower for the price point, but sorting through reviews I rolled the dice…and am very pleased. I’ve been gentle with the choke lever as it’s apparently the weak point. No issues. I suspect due to the pull cord location, many here are hitting it causing it to break. I’m 6’3” and the blow tube is quite long. Has its benefits, but I removed a segment for versatility. The blower is stout! It’ll push leaves and limbs and dog debris fine. It even does good with wet leaves. So far I’ve ran 4 tanks of gas through it and other than being cold natured, there’s really nothing bad to say about it. If it’s below 40deg just keep pulling and priming. It’ll start and it’ll get the job done.My house is heavily covered with trees. This thing has ran for hours and piled up 5 mounds of leaves the size of an F350 over the past 2 weeks. The blower handles the work load very well. If you’re on the fence, just buy it. I’m glad I did.

I use to do commercial landscaping and lawn care . I bought this unit during Black Friday sale , I was on a buying frenzy and said screw it let’s see how it works . This isn’t a common brand but it’s easy to put together . Don’t let these dummy’s with no mechanical background say this thing was hard to put together it is not . I left this unit sitting for months . I finally started it up for the first time . This is the perfect unit for your average home owner . I was surprised with the power of the unit and when I bought it is was 150 $ I think for the money and the power this is a pretty good buy . There is better units out there but what average homeowner needs a 500 dollar commercial blower . Not many .

Overall satisfied given the cost compared to other machines of similar power. Only took a few pulls to start once fuel was added. Only reason for subtracting one star is due to the control bracket. It seems rather flimsy, and I wouldn't be surprised if after a few more uses I may have to build a better bracket to hold the trigger to the blower tube.Still a great value for the money and would recommend for anyone looking for a small backpack blower.
