Not Satisfied - Burned up Three!

Comment:
First one Burned up the (electric) motor is less than 5 minutes while blowing. The second one lasted 10 minutes. The third one I had to fight for the replacement from the HOME DEPOT where I purchased it. I has lasted between 1 and 2 hours of run time and I've had it a year. It just burned up as well. I will NOT replace it with a Toro.

Comment:
Have an older model 51573 that works fine but wonder if it would be worth buying the model 51592. It has a higher amperage rating so I would expect it to be stronger. I spend hours clearing leaves as it is and would like something stronger without a big investment.

Comment:
I used this blower to blow leaves off my driveway and sidewalk. I used it once or twice a week last fall and infrequently since. It started smelling like something was burning, then quit altogether. It was fine when it worked, but I plan to spend more on my next leaf blower purchase... I hope it will last more than one year.
