Purchased a 125b from Lowes in August of 2014.    Out of the box it ran ok but would bog down.   At first I found that keeping the fuel topped off would help the situation but after a while that wouldn't keep it from bogging down and eventually dying.  Took it in for service spring of 2016.  Had it cleaned/adjusted/refilled with fresh fuel.  Worked ok for about a month and then started bogging down again.   Took it in again, had it cleaned/adjusted/filled with fresh fuel.  Again it worked fine for about a month then started doing the same thing.  All  the while I was meticulous in having clean, fresh fuel.  I only made a gallon at a time, which meant that I would use it up in less than a month.  The unit never sat more than a couple of days because I have a long drive that needed to have the pine needles blown off regularly.  

I wont be taking this in for service again because when it died on me last week, I got so pissed off that I tossed with all my might into the street.  I then brought a Dewalt 20v battery powered blower to complement my Dewalt battery trimmer.

I purchased the Husqvarna blower based on what I thought was the manufactures reputation for building high quality engines.  Boy was I wrong.  I will never buy another Husqvarna product.
