Question 1

Does this  model also serve as a vacuum?

Accepted Answer

NO it DOES NOT.  The door where the vacuum would normally attach is glued shut on this model. In addition, the impeller is different than the one that comes with the 125bvx and the mulching blade is missing as well.  I ordered this model because a previous answer said it would work with the vacuum accessory.  So what I did was use an exacto blade and cut thru the glue on the door latch.  Then i ordered the door spring (its missing in this model too), as well as an impeller and blade from ebay. In total the 3 parts came to 12.89. If you're willing to do this versus purchasing the 125bvx the unit will vacuum perfectly.

Question 2

We are going to have about an acre of land to blow.  Is this unit big enough?  I'm thinking about getting one for my husband.

Accepted Answer

The short answer; yes, this will do the trick. I’ve used this exact model for 6 years on 1+ acre residential and commercial lots.
Regarding this versus backpack: Acreage is irrelevant. The question to be answered is, what is the volume of leaves, grass, straw, etc., to be moved? Once your pile(s) become a certain volume, no leaf blower is going to be effective. I also use large tarps. Blow the leaves onto those, then drag them to the property edge or wherever their final resting place will be.

Question 3

What type of gas does this one use?  Is it non-ethanol as well?

Accepted Answer

There is no mention of ethanol in the manual. It uses regular gas, 87 octane minimum although higher is recommended. It is 2-cycle (2-stroke) with a common 50:1 mixture.

Question 4

Has anyone had any issues with this blower?

Accepted Answer

No issues. Starts good but has to warm up awhile at idle before using. blows leaves great. Light weight.
