Falling leaves may quickly overwhelm your lawn this fall. There are many solutions to dealing with leaf collection but the stalwart appliance to reduce time and energy is a power blower. Echo power blowers include cordless handheld blower, powerful gas models and durable backpack models for the biggest chores. Choosing the right model for you begins with a few simple questions:
Is it time to go cordless?
The most common issue with handheld equipment is reliable starting. Your handheld power blower is meant to make the chore of clearing your lawn easier. Struggling to blend 2-Stroke fuel, pulling the recoil rope dozens of times and toggling between the choke control until the engine finally starts is the most common reason our customers choose Cordless Echo Blower CPLB-58V2AH.
After more than a decade of innovation, this handheld blower matches the power of gas powered counterparts. Simply lock on the fully charge 58V cell in place and flip the switch to see the awesome power of this cordless option.
What is your application?
Cordless blowers do not fit every application. Gas powered options allow for quick refueling on larger properties. Echo offers handheld blowers are lightweight, affordable and deliver plenty of power for most of these situations. For homeowners dealing with larger properties or very mature trees, a backpack blower provides more power and adds comfort over longer periods of time. Consider your specific residence when determining between a handheld or backpack blower.
Handheld Blowers provide lightweight, compact and consistent power. If you are only clearing grass clippings and leaves off your driveway, patio and other common areas, this product is ideal. Handheld blowers will keep your common areas, mulch beds lawn clean of debris. Echo offers 2 affordable options and backs up their products with quality parts and warranty. The limitation of handheld blowers is moving large piles of leaves.
BackPack Blowers handle leaf removal far better than their handheld options. Echo backpack blowers increase productive and quickly pile leaves. If you bag your leaves backpack blowers will create fewer piles to rake. If you move all your leaves to an area on your lawn like a compost or burn pile, then a backpack blower is the best choice.
Conclusion:
The primary difference between a handheld and backpack blower is power. If handheld blowers are a garden hose, then backback blowers are a fire hose. For small chores and everyday use, a handheld blower is great. However, when you have a lot of work to do a backpack blower increases your productivity and takes the stress out of your arms.
Handheld blowers: Perfect for common areas and create multiple piles of leaves for raking.
Backpack blowers: Ideal for bigger lawns that demand the power to move leaves across your property.
What model is right for you?
Handheld Power Blower (PB2520 vs. PB2620)
We offer both the Echo PB2520 and PB2620 models. Both feature an easy starting, quality 25.4cc engine. The PB2520 is very competitively priced at just $149.99. For $199.99, the PB2620 has a chrome plated cylinder for longer engine life, a second handle for maneuverability, rounded and flared-end tubes for a variety of applications and a very nice rubber grip for comfort.
Backpack Power Blower (PB580, PB755, PB770 & PB8010)
The 4 backpack blowers we offer are all extremely comfortable but feature considerably different engines and power. Most homeowners will be happy with the PB580. It is more than twice the power of a handheld blower and still affordable at $329.99. The PB755 is popular with landscapers but homeowners typically upgrade to the PB770 at $499.99 when they need real power. The PB770 has nearly 150% the air volume of the PB580. With a maximum air speed of 234 MPH the PB770 has enough power to clear leaves in almost any condition and even blow small snowfalls off your driveway, porches and walkways. In spite of the larger capacity, the PB770 is only 2 pounds heavier than the PB580 and with improved padding and cushioning in the shoulder straps it is very comfortable.
At $599.99 the Echo’s latest blower the PB8010 is popular with landscapers but most homeowners will never take advantage of the immense power, longer run time and the excessive use the engine is designed to withstand. It is an extraordinarily powerful piece of equipment that some homeowners will admire.
