Nice
Liked the power but the bag would clog because it hung down and leaves would stick at the top. ECHO has a machine. Started up easy and changing from blower to vacuum decient. It as a good buy.

For being a gas blower, it’s pretty lightweight!
I’ve been using the battery powered blowers now for a couple years so, when I saw this gas powered blower I wanted to try it because of the power factor, But I was a little bit concerned about how much it would weigh? Well, That worry was soon quashed as this is, Pretty darn lightweightI’ve got scoliosis, so it’s difficult for me to carry things when walking any distance. I was concerned that that make it so I couldn’t carry this around easily. Actually, I can carry this around for quite a while while blowing things off and not have an issue with my back. It’s very well made while still maintaining its light weight.

good for light work, like a walk – but not for fall cleanup
Assembly was a little challenging because the tubes are very soft and difficult to get lined up with each other. The control handle presented the most challenge as I tried different positions, but the bolt is really too short to be useful. Once I got this started – which required several cycles of primer bulb pushes and cord pulls, the engine seemed to run OK but quite noisy (ear protection required!). It could be that there was no gas primed into the carburetor yet. Like most backpacks, this is difficult to get in position – especially while running. Fortunately, I had someone to help get the straps in place while I contorted to get it in place. Once you use the kill switch on the handle to turn it off, you have to remove it from your back to restart it – pretty standard for backpack blowers I expect. It is pretty light weight compared to other (more robust) units, but after a tank of gas my shoulders still felt the pain. There are (lightly padded) shoulder straps and a waist strap, and two other short straps with rings that seem to have no purpose. As far as performance – this would be OK for a driveway, walk, or deck but there is not nearly enough power to use it for a fall cleanup. I did use it to clear the driveway, but any dry leaves that were matted down by rain last week just laughed at it. I had hoped to use this for removing leaves from bushes in the fall, though I’m not sure it will be powerful enough for that job. I guess it’s back to the 8 HP walk behind blower!

Works well
The assembly directions weren’t the best but there wasn’t much to assemble anyways. It was fairly easy/straightforward. The power to weight ratio is good. It doesn’t take up much space in the garage compared to some other ones available. The fuel jug included with the blower isn’t nearly big enough. I have been using the premix stuff I use with my weed whacker and have not had an issue with operation thus far.
