Best blower I've ever owned.
Great price, great product.
Once I learned best way to start it, it starts on one or two pulls.
Light, powerful, does a great job and I can't say enough good about it.
Buy one, you won't be disappointed and you will never find one for this great price.

Comments about Homelite Homelite Factory-Reconditioned 26cc MightyLite™ Gas Backpack Blower:

I received my back pack blower in very good condition. It was very clean and looked virtually like new. That was the good part. The bad part is the blower keeps choking out when I press the acceleration button. [...]

Comments about Homelite Homelite Factory-Reconditioned 26cc MightyLite™ Gas Backpack Blower:

I wasn't sure that I wanted a reconditioned unit or not. But while I was in Florida visiting last week, I was able to look at one at an outlet store there. I did like the price but just couldn't make up my mind. Once I was home then I wished that I had bought the blower because I could see more and more where I could actually use one. So I called the outlet store and he gave me the web site to homelite and said I could look at them there and even order from them. I looked them up and read all the reviews. The reviews helped me to decide if this is what I wanted or not. I like to hear from real people how these kinds of things work out for them instead of some factory guy telling me what I want and don't want. So I placed my order online.[...] This was Friday morning and Saturday afternoon, I had my blower!!! I opened it up and thought that it looked very unused and pretty much like new...I liked that. I put it together and put some fuel in it, that thing came to life after 2 pulls!!! I ran it for about 10 minutes just playing with it and looking it over to make sure there was no leaks or anything like that. I wanted to get it hot and then turn it off and see how hard it was going to be to start again... thing crancked on the first pull and never did faulter in the idiling!!! It was raining today when I got it so I have been unable to go out and use it like I wanted to. The pros: I do think it is a good blower for the money. It is very lite weight. Very good for small jobs!!! The cons: just a little under powered maybe...depends on what you plan to use it for!!! When you call someone about a product, you never know who you are going to talk to or how they are going to treat your case. I feel that the last lady I talked to went above and beyond the call of duty...she alone made me feel at ease about the whole thing and I knew that if I did have a problem with the blower, as long as I could talk to someone like her, it would be delt with!!! ( I wished that I had wrote down her name because I would have put her name in this review.)

Comments about Homelite Homelite Factory-Reconditioned 26cc MightyLite™ Gas Backpack Blower:

I ordered this unit knowing it was a lower end item, but well suited for home use. Of course, I would like more power, but for 26cc, it not only blew Maple leaves, but WET maple leaves quite effectively. Starts every time, the first pull, and is lightweight.. One item of note: The lower tube was not shipped with this unit, and when I called CPO, they referred me back to the manufacturer direct for the part, OR would replace the entire unit (seemed like a total waste to return the unit...). I ultimately had the part replaced (free) by the manufacturer, and shipped quick, but CPO should take ownership for these matters instead of making the customer jump through hoops..

Comments about Homelite Homelite Factory-Reconditioned 26cc MightyLite™ Gas Backpack Blower:

I was a bit apprehensive at purchasing a refurbished machine. Other then the shoulder straps the blower looked new as it came out of the box. Every time I have attempted to start the blower is started on the second or third pull.
