125B Gas Leaf Blower, Handheld Leaf Blowers for Lawn Care

Fast shipping. Out of the box and in 5 minutes together and running great. Nice power, not too heavy and easy to start. I've had many Husqvarna power tools over the years and they never disappoint me.

I bought this mostly to use the attachment (sold separately) that cleans gutters. The blower and extension tube work really well for that and save me hours of climbing a ladder. Over time, I found that it's also a nice complement to the backpack blower. I'm on treed property, so I need the backpack to do bigger jobs. But I pull this out for quick cleanups when it's not worth the effort to strap on the backpack.

very good leaf blower. runs well and very powerful

I love my Husqvarna string trimmer which is why I went with this brand blower after fighting with an extension cord for far too long. It's great! Much blowier than my old electric (Toro). It is a bit on the heavy side. Blows leaves so much better! I will say for my smaller oak leaves (the approx 2 inch leaves that are somewhat diamond shaped) this blower still struggles getting those out of the St Augustine grass. With larger leaves though, this blower rocks! I also have some old rain gutter cleanout tubes, 3d printed an adapter for this, and my gutters are cleaner than they've been in a while! It WAS cumbersome trying to lug this around with one arm and control the tubes one handed. I threw a strap around this blower and it seemed to do the trick. **UPDATE: So about a year after owning, it began to run weird. Out of the blue one week. Wouldn't top out at full throttle, stuttered and died at idle. Did a bit of research and found with a cheap little carb adjustment tool, all it needed were a couple quick adjustments and now it runs like new again. Also found that sometimes the screws that hold the carb to the intake body can occasionally get loose causing bad fuel/air mixture and similar rough running symptoms. Both are pretty easy to fix with a screw driver and/or carb adjust tool. So, does it require some DIY TLC? Yes. Is is maintenance free forever? No. Would I still recommend it? Yes.

To avoid unwanted problems with this unit...ONLY USE ETHANOL FREE GAS. I've read a lot of complaints about the premature failure of two cycle engines and most of it is due to gas with ETHANOL in it. It seems that the ETHANOL can cause the oil to separate from the gas, and cause rust, carbon buildup, and premature ignition, and deteriorates plastic parts and hoses as if that isn't enough, on top of normal wear and tear. I have a 223L Husqvarna sting trimmer and it's working fine. When I purchased it, the salesman cautioned me against using gas with ETHANOL in it. I was told where I could purchase ETHANOL free gas and that's what I use...exclusively...in all my Husqvarna equipment. This ETHANOL in gas issue is wide spread and can cause issues in all two stroke engines...regardless of manufacturer. You will be well served to find and use gas without ETHANOL in your two stroke engines. (This from Husqvarna tech support.) Just FYI. I just received my 125B, and I will report back on my leaf blower as soon as I've had a chance to use it. (It's raining daily here.) I just thought that, after reading about so many issues with the E-gas, that I would pass along what I've read. BTW, Non ETHANOL gas in my area, Easter NC, costs around $4.05 per gallon, so $20.25 for a five gallon can. So, it's not expensive, especially when you consider the cost differential between non E-gas and regular gas with ETHANOL in it and how relatively little you use during a month's mowing cycle. I'm mowing my half acre and my neighbor's half acre and and I don't notice the the extra cost difference. The cost difference between E-gas (E-10) and Mid-grade w/o ETHANOL is $3.95 for five gallons. So, you can see, the cost of using gas w/o ETHANOL is negligible considering how much I've paid for my equipment, and how relatively little fuel I use a month.. What's $4.00 these days. Here's a link that explains everything. [...] I just wanted to warn everyone so that you don't blame the manufacturer of your product for shoddy designs and poor quality, when it's the fuel you're using. Non E-gas, is available at some gas stations where it's made available for RV, boat, and other two cycle use. I'm lucky to have a station near my home. At my station, it's mid-grade, 90 octane. Pumps should be clearly marked, if not, don't take the attendant's word...shop elsewhere. One last note: Since the hose on a gas pump contains the remnants of whatever the last guy pumped, it was advised that you pump gas into you car first, and then fill you gas cans, especially when using a one gallon gas can. Good luck. Update: My 125B Blower is killer...works exactly like it's supposed to. Using non-E gas, my unit starts just like the manual says it should...exactly like it should, matter of fact. Update: 4-25-2016...still haven't used E-gas in any of my 2 cycle equipment. And my string trimmer, chain saw, and blower started just like it did last fall when I put it up. Pump the primer 5 times...set the choke, pull the starter cord 4-5 times, unit sputters, choke off...and pull start and go. Buy one...highly recommended. Love mine. Ed

I purchased this as a homeowner of a small 1/5 acre lot. I only used twice a month. When my fuel lines started leaking at 6 months, I called the Husqvarna help line and they sent me to a local dealer. The dealer said he would fix it, but not under warranty. He said Husqvarna would not honor warranty for fuel lines, they would blame owner for storing the tool with ethanol based fuel in the tank. Here is a news flash for Husqvarna.....I store all of my gas powered tools with fuel in the tank and my ECHO brand weedeater that is now 2 years old has never had an issue. I fuel them from the same gas can. My Craftsman gas tools have never had a problem, and they are 3 yrs old. Husqvarna obviously has a quality control problem here with these cheap fuel lines. My lines broke off at the same point that other reviewers mentioned. When I examined closely, there is a black rubber gasket that the 2 fuel lines go through to enter the fuel tank. This gasket squeezes the lines with pressure and you have the close contact of different rubbers and plastics touching each other. I believe that the reason the fuel lines failed, has to either be because they could not handle the pressure exerted on them by the rubber gasket or it is a chemical failure of where the two different materials of the gasket and the fuel line contact each other. I will try to post a picture, but the fuel line broke off almost even with the gasket and was misshaped, it had a smaller diameter where the gasket had been squeezing it. Similar to when you stretch a piece of plastic tubing and the part that stretches, gets smaller in diameter. Additionally, the fuel line that lays in the bottom of the fuel tank and is the most exposed to ethanol and its corrosive properties, was just fine. It was not damaged and when I pulled on it, it did not break or fray or crack. All of the damage was centered on where the gasket put pressure on the lines themselves. UPDATE: I managed to repair the fuel lines myself. It was fairly easy. It took me about 1.5 hours because I am not very good with mechanical stuff. A real mechanic could probably do it in 15 minutes. When I went to ACE Hardware, they sold 2 types of fuel lines. ONE was a yellow tinted, ethanol resistant fuel line for $1.40 per foot. The other was a clear, plain fuel line that was only .39 cents per foot. Guess which one most closely resembled the fuel line I was replacing from Husqvarna. You guessed it, the .39 cents per foot. I purchased the more expensive fuel lines and started to work. I will try to post pictures on Amazon. It is pretty simple, you remove the big black plastic nut that holds on the air filter cover, then remove the air filter. Now you will see 2 nuts that need to be removed. Then you will have access to all of the 3 fuel lines. The fuel lines are 2 different sizes, my local Ace sold them both. I just went in and purchased 2 feet of each size hose and that was plenty. I did not write down the diameter sizes, what I did was take in a piece of my broken fuel line I snipped off with some scissors. That way I could compare them. Then you just slowly pull off each old line and replace it with each new line. Pretty straight forward. No way to mess up, as long as you dont remove all of the lines at once and forget where they go. hahaha I feel like I have much better quality fuel lines now, they are formulated to be chemical resistant. So even if the gasket causes a chemical failure of the line, maybe these will be resistant to that. NON ETHANOL GASOLINE As an additional helpful point, I found a website... you can Google ......pure-gas.org ........to find a station near you without ethanol. I don't disagree that ethanol is bad for gas tools. Ethanol is bad for fuel lines, etc. But I do not believe that ethanol is to blame for such a quick and total failure of this tool.

As I tend to do, I've waited to write this review, otherwise I'd be commenting on the packaging or delivery, not product performance. That out of the way, this is a fine little blower. Well built, light and easy to handle, starts first time every time even after months of sitting in my unheated shed, moves my grass clippings and light leaf load out of the way with no problem. Highly recommended for those like me who don't need a huge honking blower. Two issues, one minor, one not. As for the small gripe, the air intakes on the sides of this unit tend to suck up against my trousers, so I have to remember to hold it out from my side a bit or two. It's so light, holding it away from your body is no problem, just an annoyance. I don't wear shorts so those of you who do might have a bit more problem with this but I doubt it. On the major side, I hate Husqvarna customer service. While I've had no problem with this unit, I have one of their chain saws that I dearly love. Works hard, starts perfectly, nicely made, really a good saw. However, my first one failed because someone at some factory forgot to ream a casting lip which broke off and lodged between the piston and the cylinder. Husqvarna customer service was totally worthless and I mean TOTALLY WORTHLESS. Good thing I bought the saw at Northern Tools because they made it good, no questions asked, as I'm sure Amazon would have as well. My point is this ... in my opinion, Husqvarna makes good stuff, just be sure to put a reputable retailer, one with some money in their pocket and/or some swag with the factory, between you and Husqvarna.

This is my first gas powered blower. I have had a few corded blowers and a couple of cordless ones. This fall the size of my lot and leaf load out did my larger corded blower. Besides, who wants to coil a 50' cord? The cordless blowers are fine for the deck, even when you live in the woods. But, the actual yard needed more ompf. I shopped around, read some reviews, compared publish specifications. This one looked good, so I put it in the wish list for next year. As fall turned to deep snow in much of the world, it went on sale and found its way to my door. The review based on two days with very wet and deep leaves: Pro: Starts right up. Use canned gas without ethanol. The choke control is different than my Stihl tools, but once looked at, is easy to figure out. After the first run, it starts on first pull. Pro: lifts an blows leaves. runs on high speed for a full tnk of gas and doesn't skip a beat Neutral: flat nozzle doesn't seem to accelerate the air as much as the cone nozzles on the electric blowers. I might have to make some modifications and let Mr. Bernoulli have a go. Con: leaves will block intake. Keep an eye on it and remove them Con: heavier than a small corded blower. My arm got tired before 10,000 sq-ft was clear. A back pack blower would be over kill, so this is more of a con for my weak office worker arm. BTW, operating it left handed works, just watcchout for the blower intake.

Starts very easily. Extremely strong wind velocity. Blows the grass, leaves etc easily. Can’t wait to try it out on some light snow on driveway this winter. Great brand and quality product. No more hassles of a corded blower or battery operated both of which do not come close to the power of Husqvarna. Absolutely love the lock in throttle at whatever wind speed you chose...No more tired hands. It is light weight enough for anyone to use..especially the seniors.

First one showed up with a broken plastic piece but Amazon replaced it instantly. The replacement fired up immediately, the power is great, lightweight, it doesn't pull left or right which is nice, LOVE the cruise control speed, not terribly loud. Was able to blow the crushed stones and stuck leaves from my grass where the snow melted. I'm going to use this thing a LOT!

Easy to start, plenty of power to blow large pile of leaf's.

This is a great blower. Following instructions it starts easy and has great velocity. I have a long driveway with nearby trees that creates a lot of needles and also a pool area with similar problems. This blower has fantastically reduced my cleanup time.

Its a pretty powerful blower. Blows large piles of leaves with ease. I highly recommend it.
