Worked great first 2 times & during 3rd use it died!
The blower initially worked great and the mulching feature worked well, although it most certainly did not mulch the leaves in a 16:1 ratio...more like 3:1 for oak leaves. However, while using this item today for only the 3rd time and after only about 10 minutes, it completely died. I turned the knob, and nothing happened. This blower/mulcher did not get me through a single season's leaves. Very disappointing!
