    Compared to Sthil SR-450...

    By Patrick on 09/19/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I have used Solo and Sthil mistblowers for years in the pest control industry. For many years I leaned towards Sthil and the SR-420, but when the Sthil SR-450 hit the market and showed many major flaws (regular leaks, exhaust clogging) I begon to explore other options. I tried many other brands, before revisiting Solo and trying out this newer model. I would say that my biggest setback is the high price, although this website offered a killer deal. Even this price is $100 more expensive than the Sthil SR-450. That said, the Solo has never broken down on me. It runs a little rich, its a little louder than many others, but overall its a great unit if you are looking for an alternative to Sthil.

    Solo 451Mist Blower Problems

    By Dean on 07/03/2019

    I recently purchased the Solo 451 and due to the issues I'm experiencing the price could be a lot lower. I'm an engineer by trade and very mechanically proficient. I first saw that the entire blower assembly could be redesigned due to faulty parts. I had to purchase a longer clear plastic hose (the one supplied was too short). I purchased hose clamps to keep the solution from leaking out. The entire blower assembly comes apart during use. I had to purchase clamps and stainless steel screws to keep it together. The tank leaks from the top when filled up. I have a regular gasoline blower from Stihl which I use for my leaves. It's a way better product design wise. Silo Is also very heavy once filled. The engine requires a mixture of gas and oil but does work well. This machine is not for the faint of heart. You'll need some skills to keep it going. I decided to keep it only due to my abilities to fix the problems that should have been redesigned. I would not recommend this product at the asking price. Drop it a couple hundred then it worth it due to all the issues. Just a poorly designed product.

    Misty and heavy

    By Ed on 07/02/2019

    The unit is of good quality and works very well. I do have a problem keeping the nozzle hose on the elbow, the clamp is not sufficient. The unit also runs on when shutting off and I don't know why I'm not a mechanic. Other than that it is a good quality mister but very heavy.

    Solo 451 Mist Blower

    By Ron on 06/12/2020

    as far as performance it works great. My problem is the hose and extension always come apart. I've tightened it as much as I can and they still come off while doing a job.
