The Weed Eater Featherlite Blower - 18cc, 150 MPH, 300 CFM, Model# FL1500, Reconditioned is lightweight and features a vibration-reducing handle making it comfortable at any angle of use. The vibration dampened handle is fairly effective, and the unit is indeed lightweight but powerful. The problem with this unit is it’s very difficult to start. Sometimes when you are starting the unit, the pull string does not retract all the way. Eventually when it shuts off the string will retract except for this last time I tried starting it.

Once you do get the thing to start, it does a good job at blowing, but the controls for adjusting the throttle are limited. Getting it to stop is also a little annoying. You have to back off the throttle and then give it full choke in order for the thing to shut off. Over all I am very impressed by my new blower, and very satisfied with my purchase.
