Echo gas would be a good option.


This. Had a PB-250 last nearly 20 years, replaced it with a PB-255LN about 7 years ago. All my other stuff is Stihl and Honda but Echo just makes a great blower for the money and a 5 years residential warranty doesn't hurt either.

Another vote for Echo gas. Plenty of power and the warranty is 3 years better than Stihl.

I own a ton of Stihl products and they are all top notch. I've had the strongest Stihl handheld model twice and they both broke down (heavy use). The 5 year warranty on the Echo can't be beat.

I do have a Stihl backpack blower that is money. Never had a problem. The backpack models have more power and less fatigue on your arms.
