“I have a DR splitter I like the quality . I ordered the lawn vack”

“I was in need of a leaf vacuum, however, my comments will be limited to the ordering process and assembly - the reason is I have not yet had a chance to actually use the machine.
Where I live, the City picks up the leaves raked to the front of the property once each year - usually sometime in November. My lot is 275 x 80 and tree lined so I have a lot of clean up to do in the Fall. I have a sweeper that I tow behind my Lawn Tractor and that works fine to get most of the leaves scooped up and then dumped out front. I then use a commercial leaf blower to get the rest of the leaves into an area where I can then mulch them with the Lawn Tractor. Once the City picks up the leaves though - that's it - you have to bag anything further after that initial pick up. Based on the size of my lot - that's a lot of bagging because the trees just will not cooperate and drop all their leaves at the same time and in time for City pick up (lol). After seeing the ad for DR Products in American Legion Magazine I decided to see what they offered in Leaf Vacuums that were priced reasonably. As it were, I happen to fall into a sale on their products and that included 2 years of interest free financing through Synchrony Bank. So I looked over what was available in my price range and my needs and decided that the PILOT XTSP with electric start and self propelled was my best option. I had many questions and asked them by e-mail so that I would have the answers in writing to refer back to prior to actual purchase.
On the day I actually ordered, I made the purchase over the phone and dealt directly with the person with whom I was e-mailing at DR Power (Nicki). I had some follow-up questions about the warranty and accessories. After speaking with Nicki, I decided to purchase the extended warranty and the maintenance kit. I inquired about the 7 foot hose attachment for the many hard to reach places I have in my yard and Nicki was able to give me all the info I needed on that as well. With financing approved, I made the purchase and about a week later the machine, attachments, and maintenance kit arrived on the same day.
I was able to put the machine together by myself in about 45 minutes. If I had someone helping me I could have probably put it together in about 15-20 minutes. There isn't much to assembly - just attaching the upper and lower handlebars and in my case connecting the battery. That's it. You do need to add oil before you even think about starting it as it comes dry and does not include oil with the purchase. The maintenance kit includes enough oil for the initial use and one oil change. It also includes a spare spark plug, drive belt, and air filter. I suggest purchasing the maintenance kit so that you'll have the oil and all you need for any initial maintenance. Once you have it, then for the future - you will know what you can buy on-line or at one of the local lawn & garden stores in your area
My entire experience was positive and I highly recommend DR Power products to anyone needing big machines for their yard work.”

“Wish I would have ordered new hammer rods and screws when I replaced the flywheel. Didn't realize how much play there was on the old rods that hold the hammers. Wish it was a recommendation. Will order new rods before completing assembly.”

“My husband showed me what he wanted in the catalog. I ordered it. It came on time. He spent 2 days to put it together. Seems to me it could have been more assembled. He seems to be happy with it. The rototiller we bought a couple of years ago had a place to put the sheer bolts. It doesn't seem like the greater does. Would be nice if you were consistent in your designs for ease in finding parts.

“I called DR having a few questions about purchasing a new snowblower. I actually talked with a very friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful woman from their office center in Wisconsin. She informed me about the warranty, where the nearest service center was in my area and free shipping. DR had the best price in the U.S. on 12 horsepower snowblowers. I purchased the snowblower over the phone, received my receipt and 5-year warranty information via email immediately. Within 12 hours, I had the snowblower scheduled for delivery which only took 2 days. Snowblower arrived well packaged and strapped down very well to a solid skid. What a fantastic US company to do business with out of Wisconsin that still believes in quality and no "overseas call centers".”
