Ok, I bought this 2 years ago in attemps to clear off debree from driveways, decks, and other areas for much less the cost of a gas unit. This did just that. I really do think it blows 225MPH of airflow because that sucker will move almost anything you put in front of it. I used it to dry my brothers hair one day, and lets just say it only to 20 seconds lol.
The blower has a adjustment knob on it to allow you to select different speed settings. For instance, I did not have to use 225MPH all the time lol. It had more than enough power. At the full speed, its a little loud but still quiter than the gas units! I bought 200Feet worth of cord to use with it and never bouged down cause of power loss!
This unit has the ability to convert into a vacume to suck up leaves and has a impeller to mulch them up. Acording to the add, it has the ability to convert 16 bags worth of leaves to one. Its more like 5 bags to 1. Which is still good! The bad thing that you have to deal with is alot of cord to use it. And, if you suck up to many leaves at one time, the chute will get clogged.
