The mower had a known defective motor that was replaced in the next model and the blower lasted 2 years at 5 hours per year.

The Toro Leaf Blower should have had a three year limited warranty (I worked for HD in their garden department).
Craftsman was a unique situation... Sears did some odd things as they owned the brand, currently the way that Lowes owns the brand.
