Tools and Hardware Reviews of Poulan Pro PP3000B Blower Trimmer Attachment
Customer Review: A Little Whirlwind
Summary: 4 Stars
I was initially sceptical about the performance of this item, but I live on a hillside where raking is difficult, and decided it was worth a try as I was ordering a multi-attachment string trimmer anyway. The Amazon review indicated it would fit brands other than Poulan, and I was certainly happy when it snapped right on to my new Troy Bilt trimmer. The Amazon review also said the blower would produce a 150 mph jet of air, which I dismissed as ad hype.
I was wrong.
This blower BLASTS! I kicks up a duststorm of leaves, gravel, small branches, and the occasional garden gnome. I works great for my hillside situation, allowing me to jet out leaves from under bushes and garden structures from 20 feet away, and cut my raking time from over an hour to just minutes. I would have given this unit 5 stars, but I have only used it for 2 weeks, and I have no idea of its durability over time.
Customer Review: Poulan Pro PP3000B Blower Trimmer Attachment
Summary: 3 Stars
The blower is primarily made of plastic parts. Hopefully it is durable enough to last a while. It produces a strong wind as a blower attachment. Because it is attached to the end of the power supply shaft and can only be used in the primary button hole, the direction of exhaust is limited to a horizontal plane at ground level. If you want to blow down on the target such as leaves, it is very difficult to raise the blower up at an angle because the length of the power shaft plus the attachment shaft are a little too long and the motor ends up next to your ear.
I think for the price, its capability, and attachment convenience, it is a reasonably good purchase. Its use should be limited to simple, homeowner gardening applications.
Customer Review: Very Handy. Not as much power as other reviews
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very handy blower attachment and is far better than corded blower I previously used, due to flexibility. But the power I experienced is not consistent with that of other reviewers. Also, some spots require you to hold the blower at ackward angles to get maximum velocity. This would not be necessary with separate gas blower. In hindsight, I would not purchase again since cost is very near that of a stand-alone gas blower. There's a lot to be said for having an extended windshaft at the end of a blower. My B-D electric $35 previous blower had more power.Customer Review: Good product. Could be angled a little better...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to work with my new Toro gas trimmer. It works pretty darn well, but the angle on the shaft I think could be a little better. I often find that I have to raise my arms pretty high to get it to blow straight...just a minor annoyance. And I don't think I can recommend it for large yards. It just seems if you have a LOT of blowing/clearing to do, you might want to get a dedicate blower. But for my yard, (roughly 7,000sq ft.) it works pretty well.Customer Review: It works.
Summary: 4 Stars
It works okay but it is a little awkward to use at times. On occasion you have to tilt the blower to actually aim at the leaves etc. you are trying to move, this can be somewhat difficult and bothersome. The good thing is that the engine you are using is probably already warmed up and you don't have to cold start another engine after you are done trimming your lawn.
