Poulan Pro PR48BT, 48cc 2-Cycle Gas 475 CFM 200 MPH Backpack Leaf Blower

Ordered this with seeing only 4 left from seller. Never had any issue over the years with Poulan brand & having moved to more rural area needed more outdoor maintenance equipment.Originally had a little hiccup on delivery with FedEx saying in customs delayed. But I contacted Amazon csr they reached out to the seller and the delivery was perfect from there on. They even assured delivery 2 days sooner.Once here got it set up. Box had very minimal dings from delivery. Everything in the box. Assembled. Read fuel mix 1/50 prime bulb underside, lock trigger, pulled easily, started up. Run cycle a few minutes. Lighter on the back and tube for blower great for adjustable arm length, straps adjustable & hold while using. Sound is not high pitch like the electric ones with high output. Really happy with the speed adjustment and overall power for doing the job.Tested out quickly on the leftover leaves from past fall. Happy as a clam for affordable back pack blower. Great for half+ acre property. Now just waiting for this rain to stop so I can get back to spring cleanup.Going to use for clearing snow eventually also.

Arrived as promised. Well packed. Instructions were not hard to understand and follow. They kept it simple. The most helpful thing are type of fuel and oil that needs to be used and do not twist or assemble power handle is cable is twisted. By checking bolts, screws and connections, following starting instructions and adjusting harness for each person, this blower is extremely nice. You can adjust power without much effort and when needed you can power up to blow almost anything without spending time trying to make things move. I wish the review videos I found had more using in different needs and less talking about assembly. Straight forward I wouldn't ever need more wind for any work I might do. It works like the old Husqvarna blowers. If anything, I wish they had a lighter unit such as the H130. This Poulan blower is the real thing. I think, with care and not using full power all the time, which you won't need to, this Poulan will last for many, many years.

Love Love Love this product! Even with back problems, it is usable because it gets the job done fast!

I've had this backpack blower for 2 seasons now. Last season (first season) it started out working great and then it started to do this thing where it seemed like it was starving for fuel. It would struggle to run here and there unless I put the chocke on half way or so. Before buying, I did hear of some type of problem like this with this model, but thought the price was low enough to see if the reviews were true. At some point I was going to pull the carb and see if there was some grains of dirt or sand that somehow got in there and was clogging the needle jet, but last season ended before I could get to that. Fast forward to this season (second) and the problem seems to have worked itself out. I don't have to mess with the choke to keep it running now. It has great power for around my house. No problem with leaves, even when heavy from saturation. Full tank seems to last about an hour on full throttle. I used to work in the lawn care industry and I used a Stihl backpack blower. I don't see any difference in the quality of work and power for the model I used to use (can't remember exact model). It has good power, lightweight and definitely easy to use. Long story short, this is a great backpack blower overall and would recommend it to anyone looking to make yard work easier!

Ok, I really like this Poulan backpack plower. I purchased it to replace a commercial grade Echo that was stolen from my shed. This Poulan is lighter, quieter and blows just as hard as my stolen Echo that cost more than double the cost of this Poulan. Even the straps are more comfortable than the Echo. It would benefit from a tab to put your foot on while starting though. It starts right up easily cold or hot. If this unit holds up, it is hard to beat for the price. I read many reviews about problems with Poulan 2 cycle equipment. I have 2 Poulan chain saws as well as a Stihl chain saw. The 2 Poulans have proven to be good saws. Plenty of power and are actually easier to start than the Stihl. I would suggest anyone buying Poulan 2 cycle equipment also buy the air/fuel mixture adjusting screw driver because many times this will need tweaking after the motor is broken in. The factory tends to set these motors up lean in order to comply with EPA standards. This leads to bogging at high speed and stalling as described in negative reviews. A simple adjustment solves the problem. I also only run Ethanol free gas mixed with synthetic 2 cycle oil.
