Is the Craftsman Gas Blower Vacuum worth it?

It is a good fit if you have a lot of leaves and want one gas tool that blows, vacuums and mulches. If your yard is small or you want quiet, low-maintenance operation, a cordless electric blower is easier to live with.

Do I need to mix oil and gas?

Yes. It uses a 2-cycle engine, so you mix 2-cycle oil with gasoline at the ratio in the manual. A bottle of 2-cycle oil is included.

How much does the mulching help?

The 16:1 ratio means roughly 16 bags of leaves become about one bag of shredded debris. That cuts down on bags, trips and compost space.

How does it compare with a cordless electric blower?

Gas gives unlimited runtime and more raw power, but it is heavier at 10 pounds, louder and needs fuel and engine upkeep. Battery blowers are lighter and quieter but limited by charge time.

What comes in the box?

The blower-vacuum unit and a bottle of 2-cycle oil. The vacuum bag and tubes are part of the tool; check the listing for any nozzles or attachments.

When is the price lowest?

Fall leaf season and spring cleanup are peak demand, so prices tend to be firmer then. Late winter and off-season listings are usually the better time to buy.

Our take on the Craftsman Gas Blower Vacuum

The Craftsman Gas Blower Vacuum is a handheld 2-cycle gas tool that blows, vacuums and mulches leaves. Its 27 cc engine moves air at up to 205 mph and 450 CFM, and the vacuum mode shreds debris at a 16:1 ratio into a collection bag. At 10 pounds it is heavier than most cordless electric blowers, but it runs without a cord or battery. The best new price is $198.95 at MROSupreme.com as of November 4, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is no recent price range to compare against.
