CAUTION! Read this BEFORE you commit to buy.
I purchased a DR leaf blower recently. I paid extra for the liftgate service and was pleased with that decision. The blower arrived in a few days. It came on a pallet with a cardboard doghouse. It was a little beat up but the blower had only minimal damage. I followed the directions to complete the final assembly, added oil and gasoline as directed and it started right up. I was quite pleased so far. After using it for 2+ hours on my gently rolling 2 acre lot, I realized that I had made a mistake. While the machine performed flawlessly, I realized that pushing it around on my property was not going to work for me. I contacted the company to request a return authorization. After being placed on hold for about 15 minutes, the rep came back on the phone and informed me that the blower could not be returned because I had put oil and gasoline into it. He went on to state that the best option for me was to sell it locally. That was a surprise to me and not the news I needed to hear. I had read the return policy and don't remember reading that putting oil and gas into the machine would prevent me from returning it. It obviously had previously had gas and oil in it when I received it. So, this is the main reason I'm not satisfied with my experience with DR. CAUTION! If you're considering buying a gasoline powered piece of equipment from DR, know that if you put gasoline and/or oil in it, it CAN'T BE RETURNED!
