There are a few draw backs to owning this model, although most are very minor. The first thing many reviewers talk about is locating a Hitachi service shop in your area. Hitachi service shops are few and far between, and since the U.S. Postal Service doesn’t allow shipping these items, you may need to know where a service place is if you ever run into trouble.
Many individuals also mentioned that they wished Hitachi had a button that you didn’t have to continually press while in use for blowing power. Many makes and models have a one press blowing button and without this, even when the Hitachi leaf blower weighs 8 pounds, it can be tiresome.
All in all, if you are looking for a good gas-powered leaf blower that gets the job done no matter how big or small, then the Hitachi handheld blower will be useful for many things other than cleaning the yard. However, you may want to make sure you live near a service center in the event that disaster strikes and you can no longer use your leaf vacuum mulcher blower.
