Our house is surrounded by tree's, so it's leaf season. I had an old Craftsman leaf blower that is kind of hard to start. SO... Being a devotee of Stihl products, I bought a WSH85 Blower/Vac yesterday. I tried it out for a couple minutes, and it seems to be just what I wanted. (Easy to start, light wieght, and works MUCH better than the old Crapsman) Has anyone else used one? How do they hold up? My biggest "concern" is, will they try to pick up small rocks? How would that affect them? I guess I should have asked these questions BEFORE I bought it, but that's too late. The Stihl dealer always shoots straight with me, and he says they have a good track record. Let's hear the good, and the bad about blower/vacs.

I have an old Homelite blower/vac that I've used for years. It still works great! It will on occasion pick up small rocks but they just rattle around the blower cage until they blow out. Never picked up anything big enough to jam the blower.

I was given a weedeater barracuda years ago, gutter attachment and all. Works great, but a little heavy so I got a shoulder strap for it. Does pick up small pebbles on occassion. I usually talk #1 woman into blowing leaves in a pile then I mulch them with gator blades and mulch attachment on mower, it has plenty of blow and suction power. Exhaust works great on stubborn brush/grass piles that only want to smoulder.
