    I'd say no but I havent used one.

    However handheld blowers usually have engines about that size. If you are going to get a backpack blower, I'd say get a hardcore one with a big engine / airflow

    to me this looks to have all the inconveniences of a backpack with none of the advantages . not much more power than a good hand held
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    you take the little cutter off and cut the shot out of the sides until the hedge is narrow enough for the hedge trimmer
