Looking for a 650 blower but only coming across 530 blowers and the 600 backpack (which comes with a 5Ah battery). The sales clerk at a location just offered me the backpack (448 on sale for 348) for $198. Seems like an attractive price, but not sure if I'd be wishing i had the handheld 650 instead once I buy the backpack.

Man those 650 CFM blowers on a little cart would be fun, especially paired with a 7Ah battery. Zoom Zoom

I check that unit at woodbridge location yesterday..X24Secret wrote: ↑ Woodbridge location assistant manager offered 20% off the KIT price for a display model without battery.
He was like yea we either sell at this price or throw them out.
Didn’t budge on anything extra off the last 2135SP which I took in the hopes of further reduction at other GTA store for a price adjustment hopefully.
Overall very douchey. I didn’t have time to press to talk to someone else.
its wrongly tagged at 748$ .. ( no battery)..
I thought its 2135SP but Actually its a old model 2100

Yea the display one is mislabled after the manager was so ridiclous with the trimmer and the blower displays (20% off only off the full kit price for two display bare tools!) I didn’t even bother.densil_lopez wrote: ↑ I check that unit at woodbridge location yesterday..

There was another used 2100 next to a few other returned mowers.
I picked up the last BNIB 2135SP in a brown box. So far all 2135s I have seen been in a brown box.

Nice. Talked them down another $30?
I couldn't find a manager at 8am. The string trimmer I bought had a damaged and taped up box, so I wanted to push for a bit of a steeper discount, but the CSR just left it at "you can bring it back if there's anything wrong with it".
Given it was the last string trimmer kit across the 2 locations near me, and my limited time to argue, I just left with it at $228.
I haven't fired it up, but everything in the box looked new and in original packaging, so likely just a damaged box.

At $198 with a 5.0 battery, I would do it just because the battery retails at $299. I would look at it as the blower and charger being the bonus gift, lol.mattt33 wrote: ↑Looking for a 650 blower but only coming across 530 blowers and the 600 backpack (which comes with a 5Ah battery).

I just fired my string trimmer up and am extremely impressed with It. Upgraded from a ~$50 ryobi version bought 3-4 years ago.Dynatos wrote: ↑ Nice. Talked them down another $30?

Sitting here pondering. There's a NiB 650. Online purchase, not picked up.
It's 328. I know the gen2 5.0 AH goes for $400.
Do I but this thing, keep the battery, and sell the 650 and charger? What to do, what to do....

There is a 2130 (not propelled); 2130SP self propelled; 2133 (non SP) with two 5.0 batteries; 2135SP with two 7.5 batteries.
the 2130sp and 2135sp is the same lawnmower, just with a different battery package.

No reason to have a backpack blower unless u have a massive yard. Anyone living in the city would probably benefit more from the 650CFM handheld one...I bought mine for $179 and ended up reselling it as I got the 650cfm instead.ChicoQuente wrote: ↑ What location?

My property is 50' x 215' deep with 30+ trees, 15 of which are 35-40' tall. I have a lot of yard and a lot of cleanup. I know my needs to be honest. I had a handheld for awhile and when you're blowing for 20-30 minutes sometimes it gets pretty rough in the wrists. I switched to a gas backpack and am very happy to have it, however I am eager to shift over to battery tools.

Just picked up a display string trimmer ST1520S bare tool for $94. Good deal? Display has one or two nicks but otherwise in good condition. There was also a returned one on the shelf with a broken box but looked new, marked down to $188.

Well I've been doing spotchecks to that HD for quite a while and it's the same rebates as before, except they had the blower this time and the carbon string trimmer in special which they didn't have before.
There was only one trimmer left with 2.5h battery for ~100$ off if my memory serves me right.
There was multiple old gen mower with the 5AH battery (don't recall the exact number, but it's not the new 2135SP mower).
The sticker is there on the rack, but I have NEVER seen one for the ~6 times I went to check. (And I started to check before this thread creation)
What's left: Old mowers, 1x 150w transfo~80$, 1x fast charger~80$, different chainsaws, backpack blower (100$ off), multiple 530CFM blowers.
No batteries.
If they discount further one of the chainsaw, I'll try to grab one.
I'm happy with the 650cfm blower, I was looking for a 2nd 5AH battery and I hope it will work well with the new 2 stage snowblower!
