Well designed, especially the bag for emptying into disposable lawn bags. Does a good job of vacuuming leaves up, although very wet leaves it struggles some as might be expected. Runs well, not too loud.

Happy with my choice! Last one on the shelf! It actually was the display model!

I have owned this model blower / vacuum for about 3 months now and overall am pleased with the purchase. The quality and ease of starting is top notch as with all Echo products.I really only have 2 issues. And both are design related.First, the two piece blower pipe is pretty hard to put enough twisting force on so that it locks in place. Until you succeed with that it will constantly be falling apart on you. The second is more annoying though. Most folks are right-handed. When using it as a blower and not a vacuum, the intake will be close up against you. When using it in a sweeping motion the intake will act like a giant suction and your clothing will stick against it limiting air intake. This means you really have to end up using it in your left hand which is awkward for some.

Works well, bag is too small and already after a couple uses has holes in it

Very powerful blower. I do recommend this blower. It’s easy to start and it does the work in record time. From now on i will buy Echo products.

Just buy it! You’ll be very happy!

Had to use ether to start it… Almost returned it before using a half can of ether to get it going. Should not have to do that. Other than that, it blows well. Haven’t tried the mulcher yet.

I’ve used it as a vacuum and blower and it works great. Not as noisy as my Craftsman was and has more power. It also starts up very easy with proper priming.

The drill was very easy to ensamble

Light weight and very maneuverable

It’s done what it’s supposed to do thus far. I’ll hold off full review until the Fall when the vacuum is needed.

This works really well and even does the job with wet leaves. I just wish the bag was more like a backpack design so it can hold even more.

Initial start was a bit difficult, but after the first start it starts on one pull. setup was fairly easy., and the blower power was greater than expected. I will really see how it performs in the fall when I have to blow out my gutters once the leaves fall. So far I am pleased with its performance.

Bought it today and immediately put it to work. It handled piles of large, thick and wet leaves with no trouble. Easy to start and assemble/reconfigure. Very nice that the impellor is aluminum unlike Echo’s main German competitor. High quality at a low price. Very satisfied

It’s OK. It does what it should, but doesn’t mulch the leaves as well as I hoped. Also, it runs hot. The first time I used it, I was afraid it would die or catch fire. Seems like that is just how it works
