EGO acme.com has refurb ones with a warranty if you're cheap like me.

Clean your spark arrestors and restore your faith in Stihl bud lol.


Nah, gasket on the inside failed and screws came loose on both units. Bought a new gasket for it, but it never sealed the same. Kept leaking oil. Both blowers still run, but leak oil.

I used to take a torch to the spark arrestor to burn off the carbon. Quick fix that lasted a while.

I purchased an echo from homedepot. I think the blower was like 160 bucks. Hard to beat and has never had a issue

I have a Stihl combo blower vac that’s fantastic. Really bought it for the vac and mulch feature.

I inherited a Husky backpack blower from a job site that we abused and I figured I’d keep until it quit working. 7 years later the dam thing still starts on the third pull every time.

An ego battery blower was my gateway drug to the dark side. It is so much better than a gas blower. Get at least the 650cfm,


Agree

Once you got lithium, there’s no turning back.

Fwiw, Ego is owned by Chevron
