Pros
- 1,000 CFM at the nozzle and 47 N clear wet, heavy debris quickly
- Husqvarna quotes the nozzle figure, not just the bigger housing number
- Load reducing harness with a padded hip belt
- Cruise control for long sessions
Cons
- Husqvarna rates it 106 dB(A) at the ear, so hearing protection is essential
- At 26.8 lb dry it is heavy to wear
- Only 2 years of cover unless you buy Husqvarna fuel with it
