It is a commercial blower for one.

I would get one with a bigger engine.Maruyama BL3200 is 30.2cc and Stihl BG86 is 28cc. OR the cheaper Husqvarna 125Bt. Those are a little bit more power and all are commercial.( Husky is the low end !!)

You need as much power as you can get out of it, so bigger the better. All commercial brands should be reliable. Stay away from Craftsman, Weedeater, Ryobi, and maybe Poulan.

This is just my opinion, hope that give you a place to start.

My vote is for Stihl. I bought the shred/vac version of the BG86 this year. One of its best features (only on the BG86) is a shock absorber system that nearly eliminates all vibration at the handle. No more "nervous hand" when you're done using it. Plus it allows you to leave it idling on the driveway or sidewalk without it dancing all over the place. Also, they have the fan intake on the right hand side of the unit, so if you're right handed, it doesn't suck itself to your pants leg. Stihl says it has "cruise control" which leads you to believe you can lock the throttle at any speed. I learned from Stihl, when I thought mine was defective that this year they changed it to only lock the throttle at wide open. It does run very smoothly at that setting. You can still use the trigger to operate it at any speed you want, but it does run a little rough through the low to mid range - not bad though. It really is happiest running wide open. Over all, its a great machine.
