It’s good for medium size leaf/grass jobs. Easy to start and use. My hand does get tired but it’s not a heavy unit. I only gave it four stars cause I’m used to my old echo backpack blower.

Quick starting, well balanced machine with adequate air discharge to dislodge leaves and twigs and other debris from dry creek beds and stone borders. Extremely quiet compared to my last one. Reliability of my Echo products has been excellent, hence the purchase of this one.

Little heavier than previous model

I bought this model because it claimed to be quieter than most blowers. It’s not. And it uses twice as much gas! It’s a gas hog!!

It’s a nice blower. I bought for it’s noise level and it’s definitely a lot quieter than the craftsman blower I have. My only knock on it is the plastic that it’s built with is in no way as durable as the 10-15 year old craftsman I have, none of the new ones are. Performance wise I’m happy with it but I doubt it will last as long as the craftsman that just won’t quit. Been using it for about three weeks and seems to run better each time I use it.

I purchased this to replace its equivalent model Echo leaf blower purchased 20 years ago. Right out of the box I noticed improvements in the locking method for the pipes, and a slightly lighter weight. It also blows a bit stronger than my old one and is much quieter. The gas tank is a little smaller, requiring refilling more often but it’s not a problem. My old Echo died when the spark plug wire got worn through from vibrating inside the plastic cover, but it took 20 years. If this one lasts that long I’ll be happy.

Have only had the unit for a few months but find the blower easy to start. The running unit is the quietest blower I have used. It does not seem like the power or output gets to 191 MPH and had a little trouble moving damp leaves. This is my first Echo, having retired my Ryobi Backpack Blower due to problems with the choke/run lever. I hope this Echo will run well the second season.

Gets the job done. Fine for the money. Usually starts just fine.

Good, reasonably priced gas blower. Starts easily. Good velocity.

Easy to start. No cord anymore a plus. I would have gave 5 stars but need a strap that you hang off the shoulder across the body to support the weight. I’ll have to rig something up. Has good power. Purchased 10/2019.

Starts easily, no more “whine” at high power, gets the job done very well.Nice base makes starting a pleasure. Wind is focused well so partial poweris OK for most of the time, saves lots of fuel. Slightly heavier than similarmodels, worth it for lower noise.
Patrick Beahan (verified owner) –
This is NOT a commercial grade blower by any means! That said, for my wife to use it is ok, but a little heavy for one arm. Compared to many blowers I have used, the noise level is excellent. As far as gas efficiency, I can get out 4-6 hours of use from a tank full of gas mix using medium power.

Equipment is working just as described. I will buy an Echo product again.
Hipolito Kirlin (verified owner) –
The low noise issue is no different than my previous ECHO Leaf Blower. I would definitely recommend using 100% gas with the oil. The ECHO 191 model does not like ethanol 10% in the gas tank.
Donnell Turcotte (verified owner) –
This was a replacement for the same model ECHO blower we’d purchased approximately 5 years earlier. The old one still runs but was getting tired which would have taken $ to refurbish. The blower gets almost excessive use on our full acre and has serviced us well if not exceptionally.

I have a bad back and could no longer use the back pack I had. The new one is easy to use. Started upon 3rd pull and does a great job. I have been using Echo products since the 80’s and never had any problems with them. Thanks Home Depot for carrying the best lawn care products.

Looked over a number of reviews to find that this Echo model was at the top of the ratings for a gas blower. Purchased as a present for my son who told me it fired up the first time he used it and that it performed in a superior fashion to other blowers he used in the past. I also have an Echo but it is a blower/vac and in the 2 years I have had it, it has always done the job without any struggle or frustration.
