The box stated it was a PB-580H/T so I was not exactly sure what I had till I got home and opened it up. It was a PB-580H. After putting it together, which took about 20 minutes because I always read the instructions, I filled it with gas and started it. It runs fine and really does blow leaves really well. I like the unit. If I have one complaint it is that I think it needs either a hip belt or a strap between the shoulder harnesses. The right side strap always stayed on my shoulder but the left kept drifting off my left shoulder and the weight started hurting the left shoulder. I could not keep it on that shoulder no matter how I adjusted the straps, which are kind of hard to figure out how to use. Eventually I went and got a short bungee cord and used that in the front to keep the straps up on my shoulders. That worked really well and quit hurting my left shoulder. I have run maybe 5 or 6 tanks of fuel through this machine and I am impressed with how well it works compared to blowers I have used in the past. I like the job it does. Now, I hope it holds up and runs for many years to come. I wasn’t sure I would like the trigger on the left arm (hip control) instead of on the blower handle but once I got used to it I like it. I am blowing about 3 acres of lawns so it gets used quite a bit. Definitely worth the cost if it holds up. I would recommend this machine.

I bought this about 2 months ago. This thing is a beast. Total overkill for my home lol. But i love it. It works great on pine needles even when they are wet. I like that the throttle is on a seperate side than the blower. Also straps on backpack are really comfortable and backpack is lighter than i expected. Kinda hard to start initially but once it gets going it will start on the first pull. I actually think i might not be doing it right on the starting it side. As far as power goes you will not be disappointed this thing can blow! A little noisier than your average little blowers but 2 of my neighbors have already came over to compliment and check it out because they knew it wasn’t your average blower. I am very pleased with it and would highly recommend it.

So Far so good, works great. Not heavy at all,58 cc is great used to have a 22 cc one and its a very big difference.

Very little assembly required hook up the static line and the blower tubes adjust the shoulder straps and you are ready to go.This machine does a great job for its size,super machine for the dollar value.Caught this one on sale for $299.99.Blower does everything i need it to do and then some seems to have plenty of power to handle large piles of leaves.Good all around machine

This is my second Echo 580H blower, the first performed well for 6 years and would have probably kept going if I hadn’t added plain gas and warped the piston. Consistent start, good weight, reasonable DB level, I prefer the separate throttle so my hand doesn’t go numb.

I have used my new Echo blower 2 times and it is exactly what I expected froman Echo product. I have owned an Echo trimmer for 15 years and it still worksgreat.

I bought it at end of summer last year, it sure takes Echo a while toask how it works!Anyway,, it really cranks out the air. my issues with it are two fold: besides the incredible noise(ear protection absolutely manditory); the unit is ( in my view) inordinately heavy. I am 6 ft 177 , lean and very fit, and an hour and a half of road work blowing leaves left me ready for the chiropractor. So be warned, it is not for a fragle or out of shape user and not I learned for long extended use with big breaks. And 2, the shoulder strap is tricky to get on and for long torso me totally inadequate because it don NOT have a breast strap to keep the harness from spreading and trying to come off my shoulders. I have to use a strap at the top to serve as a breast strap(old belt or velcro strapping). And remember this juryriging has to be done as you strap in with THE UNIT RUNNING. Total pain in the buttocks. If echo decides to upgrade the harnes I will buy the whole new setup. But, it is efficient on gas, and starts easy, both very positive elements. I would probably buy something smaller and lighter and quiter if I were to do it again ( which I wont)but, I will adapt and suck it up.

This is my second echo leaf blower. We had a garage fire last year which destroyed the first one. I knew I needed to replace it asap. I use it for leaves and yard work but really love it for removing light snow.

I had a hard time starting my backpack leaf blower as per operation instructions. Once I got it to start it would not run in idle.

I love my echo backpack leaf blower. Great product!
Penelope Becker (verified owner) –
I bought this blower hoping it would match my old echo I had for about ten years. I was wrong. This blower was a little short on power and the blow tube was very much shorter than the old one.
Shawna Pollich (verified owner) –
I think the back pack is bigger and more bulky than say the Stihl brand. I have not used it enough yet to get the straps adjusted for the best fit, that will have to wait till next year. Good power but the last section of tube does not stay on, not sure but it might be a vibration that makes it fall off.
