Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt TB310QS Mulchinator 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 165 MPH Blower/Vacuum
Customer Review: Not holding up after a few years
Summary: 2 Stars
The best feature on this model is the very quick change from blow to vac. Just a flip of a beaver-tail flap and it switches. That is great!
The balance with the two handles is nice. I've never burned my hands on any hot engine parts.
The bad news is the unit is not holding up over time. I'm on my second bag (the zipper loses teeth, jams). The easy-start assist has been leaving the cord half-rewound and tonight I barely had enough cord rewound to start it.
We had bad Santa Ana winds yesterday so I needed to sweep the driveway and concrete back yard. I vacuumed about 3 bags of waste. The thing piddled oil on my pants (maybe it's leaking from a fuel hose? Definitely not from overfilling or from spilling fuel when filling the tank.) I'd say it has about 25 hours of use. I pulled the muffler off once to decarbon it. There wasn't much carbon, and the bolts that hold it to the block aren't meant to be removed ever, so they took a lot of aluminum engine block with them when I removed them.
If you're curious how it compares to a 12amp electric, this unit sucks and blows more, and of course it is heavier. But, a 100' 12-gauge electric cord is a pain to roll out and roll up for every use, and mine used to get a lot of pine tree sap on it that I had to use expensive brake parts cleaner on to remove. The final 10 feet would get very dirty too.
It has either a plastic or composite impeller. I haven't had any problems with the impeller, and I pick up pine cones, pine needles, and magnolia leaves with it. I've only had to take it apart once to clear a clog.
The engine speed is basically idle, medium, and full. Takes about 60 seconds before I can run it at full speed without any choke.

Description of Troy-Bilt TB310QS Mulchinator 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 165 MPH Blower/Vacuum
Blowers clean up leaves quickly and easily, or use them year-round for all-purpose clean up of dust, debris and dirt on deck, etc. The QuickShift enables it to switch from blower to vacuum with a flip of a lever! High performance with commercial-grade engine for extended life. Blower/Vacs have high-impact impellers that automatically mulch debris. 3/4-bushel bag capacity with zipper for easy use. Bag empties without removing it from the unit. Dual handle for left-or-right use. Lightweight, compact design for easy handling. Blower Type: Handheld Blower/Vac, Cylinder Displacement (cc): 31, Air Velocity (MPH): 147, Air Volume (CFM): 424, Tool Weight (lbs.): 19Each year, more and more homeowners discover what professional landscapers have known for decades: You can save a lot of time --and your aching back--by trading in your rake for a gas-powered leaf blower. If you're ready to make the move, consider the Troy-Bilt TB310QS: a versatile leaf blower that converts to a leaf vacuum at the flip of a lever. This portable unit is specifically designed for clearing leaves from small- to medium-sized yards.
The TB310QS is driven by a 31-cubic-centimeter gas engine that's equipped with an easy-pull spring-assist starting system. The blower creates hurricane-force winds up to 165 miles per hour; that's powerful enough to blast away even damp, matted leaves. Flip the QuickShift lever to switch from blower mode to vacuum.
The 13.5-pound unit features a mulching impeller blade that shreds leaves--reducing them at a 10-to-1 ratio--and shoots them into the convenient collection bag. The zippered cloth bag holds about 3/4 of a bushel, and it can be emptied without removing it from the blower.
Besides clearing leaves from the lawn, the TB310QS can be used to remove debris from decks, patios and sidewalks. The powerful engine on this Troy-Bilt leaf blower/vacuum is rather loud, so it's advisable to wear hearing protection during use.--Joseph Truini
