Echo 165 Mph 2 Cycle 391 Cu.Ft/Min Gas Low Noise Handheld Blower

Great blower

Have had this almost a year now . Replaced a PB200 model . Knew from the first start this was powerful . Reading the "description" here ,it says "Vibration...YES" . They are correct. It vibrates . My only issues with it . Echo should put a rubber handle grip on it . Have to swap hands often due to the vibes . But a great blower I think .

Good product for the price

This replaced my 12 year old Echo guess the ethanol ruined that one But this new unit is much more quiet very easy to start we will see if it can last 12 years that is a bargain

Powerful, lightweight, and inexpensive compared to other models

After using a PB-200 for 8 years as the primary blower, this is a good upgrade. It always starts up for me on the 2nd pull, and after ~1-2 minutes of idle on 3/4 choke, it's ready to go. I just blew my neighbor's back yard who has many decks and walkways which he does not regularly blow/maintain. In about 45 minutes, I blew his whole back yard (fairly large), after it had rained for a few days,...

After using a PB-200 for 8 years as the primary blower, this is a good upgrade. It always starts up for me on the 2nd pull, and after ~1-2 minutes of idle on 3/4 choke, it's ready to go. I just blew my neighbor's back yard who has many decks and walkways which he does not regularly blow/maintain. In about 45 minutes, I blew his whole back yard (fairly large), after it had rained for a few days, and it was (in some parts) ~6-7 inches of wet leaves. This was the biggest project I have ever taken on with a handheld blower, and I probably wouldn't have attempted it with the PB-200. Needless to say, this thing has lots of power. I personally do not mind the stop switch, I just turn it back to the 'on' position immediately after the engine has stopped. I would definitely recommend this product.

Light, Powerful Blower

My local Home Depot did not have the blower in stock so I ordered it on my phone while standing in the store. It was shipped to my home for free. Very convenient. I should have just ordered it online in the first place! Blower was easy to assemble. It started easily. It is very powerful and worked great for blowing the pine straw and leaves off my roof.

I should have just ordered it online in the first place! Blower was easy to assemble. It started easily. It is very powerful and worked great for blowing the pine straw and leaves off my roof. It's also light so nice for carrying up a ladder, and comfortable to use in general. The Echo blower was not inexpensive - but somewhat less than a Husqvarna or a Stihl with comparable performance (which I would generally consider the premium brands). I am hopefull the Echo will be durable.

So far so good! Meets and exceeds my expectations so far.

My 15 year old son put it together out of the box. It took a little more to start the first time than I expected but no problem since. Used it 3 times in 3 weeks with no problem. Cleans garage floor out in minutes. It is quieter than I expected too. For a bigger job I can see using backpack model.
