I threw my Husqvarna blower across my yard around 10am this morning. It is going out with the garbage this evening and I'm either buying an Echo or Stihl next.

Echo backpack and trimmer at Lowes. Best "bang for your buck" IMO.

whatever you get, buy gas without ethanol. They always last longer and perform better with no ethanol gas.

Almost through my 13th summer with my Echo blower.

Get a stihl and it'll be the last one you ever buy.

I've used Echo for my lawn biz for years, but most the big names are good.On the trimmer make sure you get the straight shaft.Also get some Stabil and Seafoam and keep mixed in your can and store fuel and equipment out of direct weather and it will last much longer.

Stihl backpack blower

I would be cautious of purchasing an Echo from the "big box" type hardware stores - I've been told they are not of the same quality of those sold for commercial applications. I have a Stehl weedeater that I bought in 2006, and blower that I bought in 2009, both work great. The blower's carburetor is a little finicky though.

Picked up the echo pas system from K&D Hardware... nice people, the quick feed head is nice.
I have the power pruner, quick feed head and edger attachment. Its the smaller head, but it does the job. I used it at the camp down in Reggio... no problems, a little under powered for overgrown marsh but no problems.
Next purchase is the gas blower. FIL bought me an electric one when we moved into the new house. I have to use that for a little while

I have had Echo and have a Stihl now
I prefer the Echo
Stihl does not stand behind their warranty. THeir carbs are junk and even if you use the can fuel that has no ethanol it still gums up
The old Stihls were great the last couple of years not so

Echo.
Only maintenance I've ever done on mine is push the primer bulb.
