Picked up 2 at my local Walmart for $33.50 each. Found 1 in clearance section with a $67.90 clearance tag and had an employee scan it to make sure it was lower. Found the other in the semi-outdoor lawn and garden section. Watch the upc as there are a few different models. 810022397428 is the clearance one.
It depends on your idea of 'awhile' ;-) These take a ton of current to move air that well- regardless of the brand. Keeping it on constantly MIGHT last 10 minutes.
Good luck fighting with them. I took a picture to show the cashier, but she refuse to change to the shelf price. It's on a different product but still, showing them the shelf price sticker doesn't mean anything now a day.
Scan it while in the store on the Walmart App. They WILL honor the price in the app.
Our store had a large shelving unit for $100- came up as $75 on the app- the cashier changed the price at the till without thinking twice. This is one of many examples.
If it's not food- take a second to scan it- you might be routinely surprised.
This seems like a very nice price for those who can find it at their store. However, the 315 CFM and 100 MPH speed rating seems low for those who want to blow leaves. I think this would be good for gras clippings and other lighter duty things. Do others agreee that the CFM rating seems low? thanks
For comparison the Ryobi 18v blower is 135mph and 410cfm.
I have owned the Ryobi gas jet fan blower 160 mph 520 cfm and the Ryobi gas backpack blower 175mph 760cfm
So yes it is pretty low however the cfm only determines the amount of air the machine is capable of producing the mph determines how fast the air is being blown so if your concerned about the weight of the yard debris you would want to make your selection based on mph if you have a large area and you are not moving anything with to much weight to it and you need something to move a wider area of debris at once than cfm is what you want to look at.
Kind of like the difference between a spot light and a flood light spot light will throw light alot further than a flood light but only straight in front of you a flood light will brighten up a larger surrounding area but the distance will be far less than a spot light
Mph=spot light
Cfm=flood light
That is how it was explained to me and it helped me in deciding a blower so i
Hope this helps anyone else who is trying to decide on what type of blower they need
A good blower is hard to find. I haven't had one since I got married.
The Ryobi gas powered backpack blower is a very decent blower very powerful for a residential blower and claims to be the most powerful in it's class (as far as the specs go anyway) 175mph and 760cfm. And for under $200 it's probly the best budget blower on the market
(my opinion) I had it for 3 years then the pull cord broke gave it to my uncle who is still using it.
The best blower I have owned is the echo pb-7555 it is an echo so yea it's expensive paid almost $500 but I will never use another brand of blower at 233mph and 651cfm It can blow fist size rocks if needed
And I was hesitant because other brands may have a higher speed rating or cfm rating on paper I made my purchases based on reviews and as those ratings may be relevant when comparing to each other you can't put echos specs up against other brands cus they are not playing in the same league and if I need a blower It will be an echo for sure
If you are in the Hart family and have extra batteries. Otherwise you are going to be disappointed in the run time. This is for blowing grass clippings and not leaves. Love how companies lull people into buying this junk that runs for 10 minutes on a charge.
I have the same concern about battery. I have a hart lawn mower with 6ah battery which last much less than expected, like 20 min or so.

Thanks for the insight. I have a 520cfm 120mpn blower and I'm not sure if will be enough.
