Also ended up buying a Craftsman leaf blower. The new Craftsman lineup at Lowe's seems better than what Sears was selling.

Good warranty too.

We have a small town Sears … the whole lineup has changed. You see the Husqvarna equipment no longer rebadged …
Got a Craftsman walk behind though - but the bigger stuff was orange.
Also just got an all stainless Maytag dishwasher there … USA made
most of those choices were direct brands and less Kenmore

I just ran into my first real issue with my T3000/3200. These models have that tight turn, which actually works decently at low speed. I bumped a fence post with the right wheel and lost all steering. There is a flange that is robot welded to the spindle. Cleanly popped the weld right off. 80$ on amazon.ca or 10 minutes to prep and re-weld it with some proper penetration.

Decent mower but some cheap build on it.

Expensive mowers can break too when you smash into a fence post.
