Schröder Backpack Leaf Blower - Backpack Blower - Gas Leaf Blower - SR-6400L - 3.7 HP Engine

This blower works great. Has lots of power and is very easy to use. I'm 72 and blower is easy to start and light enough to work with for long periods of time. Seems very well made and durable. I'm sure its all I'll ever need for my spring, summer and fall clean up chores.

After using a small Stihl BG-56 blower, a rake, and tarps for years, I decided to try the Schröder SR-6400L Backpack Blower. In my fully fenced backyard, two large silver maples drop a massive load of leaves each fall, and with the wind in eastern South Dakota, I’d spend several half-days clearing them before the first snowfall.The Schröder SR-6400L has changed everything. Its powerful 3.7 HP engine cut my time down to just a couple of hours, even with the dense layer of leaves. I’ve only run Stihl premixed fuel through it, and it starts easily and performs reliably. After a week of heavy use, there’s no sign of wear or issues. If you’re looking to simplify leaf cleanup, this blower is a solid investment—you won’t regret it!

The perfect leaf blower! Cranks very quickly every time! Very powerful! Definitely something I would purchase again.

have had it for about 3 weeks now and she works like a charm. strong enough to push wet leaves, light weight about 20 pounds, and she always starts on the first few pulls. overall happy with the purchase, only gave it 4 stars because the gas cap broke and i didn't drop it or slam the blower against anything for that to happen.

**Review Update**Been over a year now. Blower has bwen a real work horse. Love everything about it. Especially the well padded harness.A couple of improvements would be appreciated. 1.. mold into the frame a foot brace to make starting easier. 2.. add a cruise control to the blower speed control. Basically be able to loc the blower at a preset speed.. would help with trigger fatigue. **Blower arrived the other day. Well packed and additional protective cardboard lining.Very easy to assemble. Only took a few minutes and a philly's screwdriver.FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Unit is well made and well designed. One thing I did not see in any of the reviews was that the unit comes with 2 blower tips. A faired tip and a round tip. Wondered, because I saw both pictured but not described. The next thing I noticed was unlike other backpack blowers I have had, this one had threaded screws that hold the sections from coming loose. They still use the twist lock sections but with a screw, not into plastic but metal on metal.The unit is powerful. Much more powerful than my old backpack blower or my hand-held blower. With the flared tip, it can move a lots of dry leafs, wet leafs, leaf mold, gravel, blows small sticks and dead wood easily and clears a wide path. For the money it's a great blower and a good value.Be aware that these ship from BC Canada and had to go through customs which added a day or two.Now for the things you should also know.I assume this motor does not have compression release. Takes some strength and a good stable area to start. I hold the backpack at the top and brace my boot on the lower frame. Takes a couple of pulls normally. Not nearly as easy as other 2 strokes I have had. My 2 cycle snowblower took less effort.Vibration: Evidently this blower also has no Vibration dampening. Not too bad and you sort of get used to it after a while.NO cruise control. Now this may seem like no big deal BUT… Engine speed is controlled by the trigger on the hand grip. No way to keep the motor at full throttle without a finger on the trigger. When you spend hours blowing leafs it's nice to vary hand positions. Trust me, you will be looking for a rubber band or two if you have a large area to clear.I would say, a tank full of mixed gas will get you about 2 hours of run time.. not bad for the power this generates.Overall, I am very impressed with the quality and utility of the blower. Hope the manufacturer reads this post. With a few low cost modifications this unit could be world class. Maybe that's what you get with their $700+ model.. don't know. Reading the description the models sounded basically the same.

I loved the blower! It works wonderfully and is very easy to assemble. A fantastic product!

Once you get past looking like the star of Ghost Busters, you'll really like this blower. So many hand-held ones put a strain on your back and shoulders, whereas this one doesn't. The wand swings easily, the engine starts easily, and the power is excellent.

I purchased this blower for handling my fall leaves as I have several large trees, and needed more power than my Stihl hand held.First few uses were decent, good power, easy to start.Before I had finished running the third tank of gas, the blower started to bog down after it had ran for 15 minutes. I contacted customer service and after a few times of speaking to them, they claimed it needed to have the mixture screw adjusted . They sent the special screw driver, and I followed the instructions in the video link. This had no effect on the issue, and I reported this back to Cs. I felt with the heating up, and loss of power, it could be the magneto. They agreed to send a new one, which I received, and installed.The blower started right up, but started to bog down as before, this time within 15 seconds. I attempted to restart, and the engine seized.I reached out to Cs again, and was told I must of run the blower without oil mix. I own 13, 2 stroke engines of various size and type, from chain saws to outboards etc. I mix all my gas in 5 gallon jugs, and add a little extra to achieve a 45-1 ratio. They are refusing to honor the warranty.I suggest staying away from this product and company. They don't honor their warranty, they can always just claim no oil in the gas, and you are out of luck. I trusted that with a 5 year warranty, I would be protected. I was not, and you won't be either.
