The product, in the report: Craftman 2 speed Blower Vac item number 07130376000p model 30376 leaf blower 12amp motor and attachments
The Craftman leaf blower Model 30376 ,2 speed started on fire. I had only used it 5 times before and used it to blow leaves away from the door. I had not even used 15 minutes when smoke and sparks were coming out of the plug in. Burned up my new extension cord that I just bought it when I bought the leaf blower , and burned my hand (not bad enough to seek emergency care). This is not the first time I have had trouble with this model. The first leaf blower I got in April got stuck on high and could not get it to switch off unless unplugged. So sent back and got the second one bought in March. This one burned my hand and could have started a bigger fire as I was in the middle of dry leaves. I finally got the people to take this one back and they will refund us the money, they said. I am terribly sad with the quality that Craft man is putting out. I see 2 other models have been recalled and money refunded. I will not be replacing again with a Craftman.
