Product Description

What we're looking for in a weed eater is the perfect balance of power and weight; we want a machine with enough juice to get the job done, yet light enough to tote about without straining either elbow or patience. We gave the Barracuda weed eater top marks for performance. With its 12 amp motor and two air speeds (125 and 195 mph), you'll never want for power, and its three-in-one versatility means it not only mulches weeds with a vengeance (as befits a machine called Barracuda), but it's a leaf blower and vacuum, as well. You can mulch debris at a 16:1 ratio into compost-ready material and then collect it in the large vacuum bag that's included. You can also clean your gutters with the gutter attachment (not included). As for the weight department, the Barracuda is moderate; though they call it lightweight, you're not going to want to spend hours using it. On the other hand, it's a durable, well-designed, effective and robust tool.

Worth the money
I think dollar to dollar this product can be the best value . Great blowing power and easy to follow directions and use. Only drawback istead of a triger for adjustable speed you have one button with two settings ( hi-lo ) .

Weedeater Electric Blower
I have owned one of these for about three years and find the conversion from blower to mulcher to be awkward. It requires a tool to open the bottom hatch and the suction tubing is both hard to attach and remove. The tubing sections also have a tendency to separate. Suctioning debris requires one to stoop and the collection bag tends to sag or fall off of your shoulder. It works well as a blower and I particularly like the optional gutter attachment. When used as a mulcher, it compacts the material very well but I think the comfort and convenience could use some redesign. The Black & Decker product line looks better to me although I have not used one.

It's the best
Have owned it for 3 years. It does the job very well. Never had a problem. Very easy to use. The guy who gave it 3 stars should read the owner manual. I use screw driver to help open the bottom hatch. I tried my car key to open and it worked too! I believe it's good design, otherwise you kid could be hurt if it's easy to open.
