ECHO220 MPH 1110 CFM 79.9 cc Gas 2-Stroke X Series Backpack Blower with Tube-Mounted Throttle PB-9010T

Love this leaf blower. Works very well. Very powerful. Has great speed. Easy to use.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:very good. almost 3 year later and still starts first pull

Wish I had bought one years ago!

My husband loves it! Delivery was fast, easy to use and definitely worth the money.

Awesome, Arrived on time a fit comfortably right out the box. The blowing power is great the quality of the echo blower is pretty good. Starting is so easy. It is loud but with the landscaping industry you would be wearing ear protection.

I have both the Stihl BR800-X and this Echo. I bought the Echo first to replace a Husqvarna BT150 which has overheating problems. The Husqvarna is like a toy when operating side by side.We have an AgriFab leaf collector and this year decided to just blow the leaves into the woods as we have about two acres of land. The Husqvarna wasn't cutting it and it was a weekend and we wanted to finish clearing the yard so off to Ace and bought the Stihl.No need to tell about the Stihl assembly as the review is about the Echo. The Echo assembly was easy enough, but the tip blows off way too easily.Speaking of blowing off, this Echo requires to somewhat brace yourself so you don't get blown backward. You do not get this sensation from the Stihl. The Stihl has a smaller exit diameter. I find that there's more vibration in the Stihl.The Echo is a louder machine. For some reason they get to advertise the dB rating measured at 50 feet, not the one foot from your ear. With nose cancelling headphones, your ears will be ringing from using either of these machines.The Echo allows you to pivot the blowing arm rotationally, you can't do this on the Stihl.Neither the Echo or Stihl have a waist strap which is a glaring issue to unload your shoulders off the roughly 25#, I think the Stihl is a couple pounds lighter. You can get the waist strap for another fifty bucks, but it wasn't in stock.I would definitely choose this over the Stihl, but I won't be returning that unit.

Really isn't much to say about it, other than its crazy powerful. I mean, really, crazy powerful for man portable blower. This thing has enough chooch to uproot small plants and trees almost. It has no problem pushing huge piles of leaves with relative ease and it covers a wide enough area with enough CFM to move large areas of leaves with unbelievable speed.I have used a few backpack blowers before, and had a little hand jobber that I was using before this. Obviously this hand blower had no chance. This thing pushes as hard or harder at idle... Seriously. As compared to the other backpacks I've used, its easily 2 or 3x more powerful that those medium to large size blowers. The thing quite literally creates a torque steer on your body, utterly crazy and obnoxiously powerful for my yard.How long will it last? No idea but my little hand blower from echo is near enough 23+ years old and still runs pretty well. It seems well built but some of the plastic bits seem kinda meh compared to other brands.The straps are comfy enough but could honestly use a belt or some kind of shoulder bracing to run across the front of the straps.Starts easy enough thus far, it does require a bit of muscle but if you give her a good pull or two she fires right up.The actual tube elbow is really stiff and gets fatiguing to use over time, and I find my wrist getting rather tired frighting it and holding the trigger down after an hour or so of blowing you'll be glad to be done. It's also a heavy unit, and bulky as hell.With all the power in mind, it seriously sucks down fuel at a somewhat ghastly rate for all the chooch. Gotta run 89 or better fuel plus mix. Might get expensive for some, I don't know. But it does a heck of a lot of work in that time. Albeit a bit stinky and after an hour of using it stiffing dino squeezings burned up and farted out by this machine isn't super pleasant but hey.. Probably uses a full tank in 25-30min running full tilt and for normal use about a tank every 50-60min. Think it holds about half a gallon. So yeah.TLDR; if you want power this has it in droves, and will leave you laughing manically while your neighbor looks on in awe as you push huge amounts of leaves in no time flat. Oh, and be careful this thing will blow much more than just leaves all over the place, which if you aren't careful could be a bad thing. It is THAT powerful.

An absolute power house of a blower. It does everything I want it to do and it has no issues whatsoever. The only problem is that it weighs like 25 pounds but that’s to be expected, it’s a backpack blower after all.It’s rather difficult to put the hose together but if you manage to lock it into one of those channels on the inside of the tube, the hose will never be blown off by the blower. Overall great purchase for $650Always starts in a single pull after going through the priming, it doesn’t feel scratchy or itchy so it’s comfortable, and it’s very quiet. I don’t even need to wear headphones when I’m using it.
