Stihl Kombi system blower feedback...

[Skunkape]

Hey guys..

So I'm starting to get heavily invested in the Kombi system.. I haven't purchased the blower attachment, but as my old husqvarna is getting long in the tooth, I'm pondering the blower attachment. My only hangup is that it seems like it would be awkward to use. However, I've only ever used a handheld blower unit, So I don't know..

Anyone have any insight that has the Kombi blower?

Thx

I have one. My main blower is my backpack, but I have the Kombi blower as a backup, and also because my wife's long hair precludes the backpack blower use.

It's surprisingly powerful. I have the KM110 motor, and have read that the blower is even stronger on a KM130. It isn't backpack blower powerful, but it is stronger than any handheld out there.

I don't find it awkward. You use the strap to carry the weight on your shoulders.

Before I bought mine, I asked the dealer what he thought of it. He suggested I bring my Kombi motor over and try it out. There were no leaves on his lot, but I had no problem blowing rocks around, and that sold it for me.

got it.
I like it.. although I have not had anything else to compare it to.
I don't find it awkward.
like the above post did. Try get a tester. Or ask to try one out in store.
see how you like it.

I have one and love it works great. Powerful and convent for small/medium size jobs. Yes not as powered as the back pack units and not at bulky. To me the size and the convenience of one power supply to maintain is a plus for me.
