Q: My neighbors tree throws off not only leaves but those little spiky balls. Can these leaf vacuums handle those as well? by Ann from Pennsylvania on November 24, 2013
A: Ann,
I think you are thinking of what are called "gumballs". These handheld models can NOT handle those by any stretch. They are way to difficult for this machine to handle. You would need to move to a lawn sweeper or a walk-behind vacuum to be able to handle something of that nature. by Dale, Product Expert
Q: How long is the cord on this item? What is the noise rating? Thanks by Becky Smith from Alabama on November 10, 2013
A: Becky,
This unit does not come with a cord, you are supposed to supply your own extension cord of up to 150'. Please note the owner's manual in choosing the correct gauge of wire for your length.
Depending on what you are doing but the manufacturer rates this at 65-75Db when you are vacuuming and 75-90Db when you are using the blower function. by Dale, Product Expert
Q: How do you switch from vacumn to blower please make it simple, this is my first try. by Penny from Florida on October 26, 2013

Q: Joe, what is the best extension cord to use with this blower/vac? We need at least 125 feet of cord to work in our yard. I've never heard of this model but I like what you have to say about it. My husband cannot start a gas blower anymore and I'm hoping this is not to heavy either.Thank you so much for your help. by Becky Boyan from Kentucky on October 23, 2013
A: Becky,
You would need to purchase a 12 gage cord to go up to 150 maximum. Any more than that is not recommended.
I feel that the Remington RM193BVT would do a sufficient job at a light to medium clean up in a residential area. Remington is a time tested brand that puts out a durable product. At just under 10 pounds (shoulder strap included) I would say this blower would definitely be manageable. by Dale, Product Expert

Awesome!
This machine is simply awesome! Very powerful and easy to use. It sucked up and mulched thousands of leaves from a patio in about 10 minutes! Highly recommended!

Blower/vac/shreddrer
Very good blower, the vac/shredder does a very nice job of shredding leaves, makes real good mulch or compost mat.

Works Great
The only problem I have with the unit is it keeps unplugging from the extension. Needs a better locking mechanism for plug.
Pros:Easy To Use, Price, Fast, Reliable
Cons:Needs A Pig Tail To Plug Unit In

"Unit does a great job mulches things very fine for better disposal."
I bought this blower because it had good reviews and seemed reliable, boy was I wrong. I had this product just one year to the day when it stopped working. Yes warranty no longer in force. This thing has a small plastic piece on the attachment connectors that fits in a hole in the main housing which does not allow the motor to be turned on until the attachment connector is in place so you don't cut your fingers off in the uncovered chopping blade. Great safety feature, bad design. When my blower stopped working and I went trouble shooting and found this turns out to be a problem for this blower. Ok so I go to replace this, for a better word, "kill switch" Yah, good luck trying to find a exploded diagram of this blower so you can find a part number to replace this switch. Thanks Remington, you need to stick to making firearms cuz your leaf blower sucks. A waste of my hard earned dollars.
