Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt TB125QS Mulchinator 12 amp 157 mph Electric Blower/VacuumCustomer Review: TB125QS motor burned up the first time used Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the Troy-Bilt TB125QS Electric Blower directly from Troy-Bilt's website.
Received package from UPS last night, put it together and couldn't wait to get outside today and get busy vac/mulching the leaves. The directions were read from cover to cover before using to ensure proper usage.
Fired up immediately and I used the Vac mode first for a few minutes and it was fantastic on clearing stuff out of the garage. I'm 5'4" and was pleased at how easy it is to manuever the TB125QS using the shoulder strap for added support.
Moved into the back yard to begin the leaf vac/mulching with dry leaves. Picked up two bags worth in just a few minutes and experienced no problems in removing the bag from machine to empty. Everything working great and I'm thinking this is what I've been missing for the last 5 years of my life! Just too good to be true.
Turned it on once again to begin a third bag of leaf removal and within seconds the motor smelled hot and it started smoking from both vents. Switched off the power and unplugged for half an hour. Went back to check it out again and...nothing - dead unit.
Telephoned Troy-Bilt's toll-free number and was told to take it to a local dealer, which was provided by inputting my zip code. Telephoned the local dealer and after explaining situation he told me the motor had burned up and to return it directly to Troy-Bilt. After much discussion he has agreed to allow me to bring it in Monday morning and they will start paperwork to get a replacement. He doesn't have one on-hand and will have to wait 7-10 business days for a replacement to arrive.
Not so impressed with model at this point. Only hope I can update review once new unit arrives and the experience ends much better.
