I have had a Shroder backpack blower now about 4 years. I have had to replace the fuel line, the filter and do some normal maintenance, but a few pushes of the bulb, choke, set to run and set the throttle open and it starts in at most 2 pulls. I runs great and has stood up to the abuse I give it regularly. I do not use it for commercial, but you could. Great product.

Quick delivery, excellent product easy to use.

Works great, is light enough for this old man, moved an acre of oak leaves and pine needles into wind rows for burning

This looks like it will be a great blower, but after first use, the motor would not shut down using the setting lever on the throttle handle. Had to shut down by going to full choke. I could get no help from Schroder customer service even though they supposedly wrote a repair ticket. Taking matters into my own hands, I dissasembled the throtle handle and found the shutoff lever action closes a two wire circuit to short the ignition coil on the engine, but a tremendous amount of force is needed on the setting lever to get to the closed position. I used needlenose pliers to get the contacts closer and lubricated the mechanism with silicone grease. I believe the machine is made in china, but without any support from Schroder Germany other than maybe approval of the original design. The customer service rep does not answer his phone which as area code 604, is in British Columbia Canada. The Schroder website does not show parts available for this model. Maybe, because I ordered this after leaf blowing season in December, they are virtually shut down. Nobody services this machine locally. The machine is powerful and runs great, but I would recommend only to the mechanically inclined willing to take risks.

Easy assembly and start-up process. The You Tube Video was helpful. A couple of hours of blowing making my neighbors jealous of the power and a quick work of a back yard. We will see a year from now if it maintains performance.

Exceptional product and amazed that parts were on my porch on the second day.

Product delivered as described.

Quality construction and VERY powerful

Fantastic customer support got a personal call from support and resolved my problem. also a personal call to let me know my package was delayed 1 day and not to worry. Old school customer support not an email or automated call I would give you 10 star AAA rating And a very well made product working better then I was expecting. Thanks

Had my first one for four years and used is a ton! Needed some warranty work done and they did it! Still runs great! Bought a second blower this year for my wife!

Customer service for anything you purchase is not great. Schroder expects you to do the repairs of their equipment yourself. Most small engine shops won't touch these because they are German made. Consider if you are willing to repair the item you purchase yourself before you buy from this company

Service is great but product is inferior I originally bought your blower because it was the highest wind speed. I assumed it would be a robust product and hold up to heavy work. The first one failed within two years so I filed a warranty claim the unit loss compression it was replaced because it was in within the five-year warranty that one lasted approximately two years and again, I took advantage of the five-year warranty, but received some hesitance on fulfilling the warranty, but finally, you honored the warranty But told me that you would only warranty parts when I receive the new unit. I noticed that the warranty is now a three year warranty I noticed that with each unit you send a spare pole cord assembly, which is kind of confusing because that’s the only part that doesn’t break. You should really be sending a new throttle assembly. That’s the part that fails besides the engine losing compression Again, thanks for honoring the warranty, but I feel like you were trying to make me feel guilty for taking advantage of the warranty that you provide.

Easy to start cold and after running for a long time. Plenty of power! Very pleased!

Love the blower. The ease of order and replacement of gas tank was great. Only issue is why the gas lines disintegrated the way they did. Have owned tools from other manufacturers for years without gas line failure.

Great product and great customer service

Well done. Very user friendly.

Communication customer service was great , shipping 2nd day free shipping would been nice but FedEx had it held up for a week costumes, not a fan of FedEx should change to UPS

When I ordered it said free two delivery and it’s been almost 2 weeks and still haven’t received order

I am impressed. I've always had a backpack blower. My Sthil 450 gave up on me. The Schroder is very comparable to the 450. The Schroder is lightweight, not too noisy, straps are great. Easy put together, easy start up.

product arrived shortly after order ready to go! Great product.
