I ignored all the other reviews and bought anyway
The bag as not sewn shut straight out of the box. Had to finish sewing it around the zipper to close the 12" hole in the bag before I could even use it - fine whatever. Instructions on how to attach the nozzle to suck leaves sucks - you twist the inside black piece that looks identical to the outside black piece. At least make one piece a different color or something to know what to do.
Worked really well the first 2-3 piles of leaves and cut the leaves into tiny little piece and the bags weighed about 50lbs each. Now, it doesn't cut up leaves anymore and just sucks them into the bag. The bag fills up in about 3 minutes and a full plastic bag weighs around 12lbs. I don't have any idea what is better than this - but this is not worth buying.

Attention !!! Read this it works
Like alot of other comments I bought the blower took it home and it would not start. The instructions don’t make it real clear but the blower cover has like a safety built in it. If you close the cover and don’t turn the inside ring clockwise until you hear a click it will not start. So when you close the cover make sure you turn clockwise until you hear a click and it start every time

Risky and Shocking
I am on my second one. I bought one of these and was getting shocked while holding it around the power switch area. Took it back and got another. The same thing is happening. Now I cannot return at this point. Not sure why Craftsman would put something like this on the market. This product needs to be improved/removed from the market. Craftsman should also provide existing owners with a new/improved model or reimburse. Even a small shock can cause a problem depending on who the user is.

Amazing Blower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Craftsman 12 Amp Corded Blower/Vac/Mulcher exceeded my expectations! It is so lightweight and versatile, making yard maintenance much easier. Set up was a breeze and changing the attachments is easy. The bag is large enough to hold a lot of debris and isn’t bulky or cumbersome. The vacuum mode is strong and it sucks up debris so easily. The blower is powerful to blow even wet materials away with ease. This is by far the best yard tool I have in my arsenal now to keep my large yard looking great all year! I definitely recommend it!

Something is Wrong
I bought this for my small yard. Loved the backpack feature! Used it several times as a blower to clean gutters and blow leaves out of rock landscaping and it worked well. Plenty of power to get through even packed down leaves from winter. Today I hooked it up to vacuum up some DRY leaves in the rocks and it shocked my hand right at the plastic handle. I tried it again and as soon as it encountered more than a tiny amount of leaves it shocked me again. Ouch! It never did that when blowing only when vacuum was attached. I hate to return it but perhaps it's a defect in mine and I could get a replacement.

Great Vacuum Mulcher
My old Toro was working well, but seemed to get clogged and the hanging bag was bad for my back, so I decided to try this given the backpack bag. I bought it on Friday, and used it for 3-4 hours on Saturday and Sunday to clean leaves and it worked great. Less back pain and a powerful vacuum.
It jammed only once when I ingested some acorns, but otherwise was jam free, but something required a push of leaves stuck in the funnel. Unlike my Toro, I never had to disconnect the funnel or bag to clear it.
Capacity is good and I can fill a large 30-gallon brown bag with 2-3 backpacks full of leaves.
It is a decent weight. Not lightweight, but also not a burden and I used it one handed most of the time.
My only compliant is that I wish the base of the funnel pickup was wider.

It never worked, I do NOT recommend
I bought this to use around my home. It was on sale. so I purchased it without reading any reviews, my first mistake. I didn't try it right, my second mistake. When I did finally open the box to use it, I put it together per the instructions. I made sure to have the correct size power cord. I took it into my yard to use the vacuum feature. It wouldn't turn on. I had my brother look at it to make sure I assemble it correctly. He said I did. He then tried to turn it on, and again, it wouldn't come on. I tried to return it, but it was past the 90 day return window. So now I'm stuck with a leaf blower/vacuum that is useless. A total waste of money.

Great power
Initially I love this blower, it's very powerful, comfortable and easy to use. However, after our fist one failed in its second year, we purchased another. It also failed beginning its second year. So unfortunately. we will not be recommending it.
