Husqvarna 125B/BVx

I was bit nervous, after reading the reviews here, I was after a Vacuum/shredder option and this came at a good price, starts easily and is a powerful enough blower and vacuum.

Purchased a Husqvana blower vacuum as I believed they were great Swedish quality. Engine melted in first hour of use.Very frustrating that the dealer had to wait for the OK from Husqvana to do anything about it. This product is not fit for purpose.

Blower starts easy and blows well.
Used it a handful of times and working hard like all 2 strokes until rattled and stopped. Took it back for warranty and told me it was void due to not mixing fuel right but all my other gear stihl, echo, solo, etc run the same mix of fuel and are fine. Thought I had support and warranty just got crap never by a husky product again and will recommend to friends not too either
No support or backing take your money elsewhere

No power, consistently blocks up in the throat, refuses to restart after use. My ryobi kicks is a far better machine and never dies. Dont waste your money buying this.

I have had this Husqvarna blower for 6 years and it is a piece of Junk it doesn't start when the engine is warm. This stupid blower does not start on the first pull and it is extremely unreliable and I would not recommend Husqvarna to anyone as they are junk. This blower is not very well built I prefer the build quality of the STIHL and the ATOM Leaf Blower as they are very well built
Thanks and please don't spend money on Husqvarna products as they are crap

I bought a Husqvarna 125BVX mid 2018 for the explicit purpose of sucking up leaves from my paved driveway. Since the purchase I’ve been able to use it 3 times successfully. On 6 other occasions I’ve had to take it back to the place of purchase it’s it wasn’t operational.
1st time the inlet clogged.
3rd -5th times it wouldn’t start. The last of these times I had to pay $68 to have it serviced as apparently the fuel was dirty. Same fuel I put in the lawn mower and whipper snipper with no problem.
The last time I used it, immedi...

Always having chainsaw fuel on hand chose a two stroke blower over electric. Happy I did as I can adjust the air flow to suit the job. On idle it gently clears leaves from scoria without blowing the scoria away. Prime the carb, full choke, and it always starts third pull. Full bore blast is excellent. Very happy with it.

If you are looking for a machine that clogs every 5 minutes and takes about 10 minutes to start...this machine is perfect. Its just quicker to clean the yard with a quality rake. Save your money, time and blood pressure and look for something better. (Should have read the above reviews before buying. ;-(

bought this only 3 month, it burn out, the engine is wrecked. can not be repair. warranty claim didn't help to replace it or fix it, they will say your fault, not using in the right way, not putting enough oil. don't waste time on the claim. one word: Rubbish.

Purchased cheap models from Aldi Bunnings ect and nothing but dramas so payed a bit more and my money’s worth hasn’t missed a beat a bit a work to switch between blow n vac but all in all a excellent machine no dramas at all love it no fuel leaks especially

I purchased this in place of a McCullough as i needed a petrol vac for leaves and minor small twigs.
the other machine was the same price and was a big heap of crap - returned the same day it was bought.... See review on that one...
So i bought this in place, and I've had it over 12 months now and been very happy with it.
I use it 99% of the time as a vacuum, and it has been very easy to start, reliable and powerful enough for what i have needed.
The reason i haven't given it a better rating is the design....
the bag-tube is an elbow - and...

Blower Vac died 2.5 years into 5 year warranty period and Husqvarna state that they won't replace blower vacuum because the carburettor has supposedly come loose and wrecked the engine and this is supposedly not covered by warranty. Buy anything else if you have a choice Husqvarna quality and after sales support is non-existent

The vacuum tube appears to be permanent when attached. I cannot find instructions in manual on how to remove it. Design must not have been tested. Engine output is not dependable. Sometimes I just give up and use a rake. FRUSTRATED!!!!!!! The vacuum gets clogged easily and since the tube cannot be easily removed one has to be inventive to clear the clog.

Rubbish!!! Just problems, stay with tanaka.
Stops every time, difficult to start it again, a real problem.
Vacuum? ahha what a joke.

I bough it from Sydney Tools, also the guys there are very rude and helpless.

Had a problem and took it apart. Loose screws under the intake and a broken engine mount on the bottom. I am trying to JB weld it but time will tell if it holds, probably not. Unit is not quite 1 year old. In 40 years I've never had a blower with these kind of problems on such a new unit. Only used at home. When it runs it performs well but the engine mounts should not break like this!
