Quite Well Worth It

Review Posted 08/10/2021
Packs quite a wallop and beats the heck out of carrying around a screaming backpack on your shoulders (Especially in this Florida heat)! Saves so much time!
I just wish it had a directional chute controlled on top by the handle much like many of the snow blowers have. If it did, I would give it an "excellent" score in each category.

I love it. It does the job in a very efficient manner. One of my neighbors ordered one after he saw the job my leaf blower did. It starts on the first pull.

An excellent quality product. I have another one that's plastic, but the metal is much better quality and the Honda engine is awesome.

Impressive & Gets The Job Done Fast!

Review Posted 01/05/2018
Was impressed by this machine right out of the box. Easy to assemble including the swivel wheel kit I ordered along with the machine. Add oil and fuel and you're ready to go. Volume of air is what I need to push the leaves around on my 3 acres of deciduous trees. Be aware that there is no clutch on this machine, so you're pulling the impeller when you're starting the machine. Even so, fairly easy to pull and start. Looking forward to many years of service with this well built, rugged machine.

Not good. A backpack blower blows stronger than the Little Wonder blower.

Expert Response
We are very sorry to hear that your Little Wonder has become a Big Disappointment. If you feel that the machine is not functioning to the manufacturing standards, there are two separate warranties covering this model. There is a 5-year manufacturers warranty from Little Wonder on the blower components (other than consumables like filters, belts, tires, etc). The Honda engine on this unit is also not included in the 5-year warranty. The engine has a separate warranty from Honda. It's 2-years if the blower is used in a residential application, and 90-days if the blower is used commercially (such as by a landscaping company or an office building complex). We hope that your machine may just need a little breaking in, but are here to answer any questions you may have and hope that we can earn your business again in the future.

Best Blower That Exceeded My Expectations!
By Mark B.

Review Posted 10/12/2017
We have an acre of property and this has made leaf removal a snap. It saves wear and tear on our lawn tractor. It even blows the pine cones away that we used to have to rake and manually pick them up! A real work horse. The engine is great it doesn't even take a full pull to start it. My wife can even start it for me. LOL Well built and very strong machine.

Bought brand new in 1993 still going strong today

Review Posted 10/29/2015
When our family moved to a house that was surrounded in woods, it became obvious that a standard leaf blower wasn't going to do the job, raking took hours with me my mom and dad all pitching in so we knew then we had to get something else.
I remember when my dad came home with this from the local dealer and it performed like a dream, over the years I have used it for on and off site jobs, ours has the 5hp Briggs Vanguard engine the only issue we had was the recoil mechanism breaking but otherwise we have had zero issues with it.
I have a friend that has a walk behind of a different popular brand same horsepower this thing outperforms that machine all day long and nearly 23 years of use going in the hands of my mom, and now my grandpa to use on his large yard, now that he has a mower with a bagger just purchased this year I may try to get it back from him and keep it in the family.
The only issue I have with this is it's hard to start because the steel fan is very heavy but the quality of this unit as opposed to Little Wonder's new homeowner unit doesn't compare you're getting a much better machine as far as I feel with quality and features, definitely worth the investment if you have a large yard to clean up.
I recommend this unit and would gladly invest in another one to me there is no comparison to other brands just buy this one you'll be glad you did.
