Echo 220 MPH 1110 CFM 79.9 cc Gas 2-Stroke X Series Backpack Blower with Tube-Mounted Throttle PB-9010T

Unbelievable. I'm literally blown away. Dad jokes aside, what a monumental upgrade. Ran a PB580 before. Great machine! Then I inherited a PB755ST from my landscaping crew at work as they were retiring it. It was a pretty significant upgrade from the 580, so I ran with it but there were still some areas where I could benefit from MO POWA. Enter the PB9010. An absolute powerhouse, and reduce the time I spend keeping my property spotless. This thing moves air like I've never experienced. And at the price I got it, which felt like a steal under 600 bucks, it's worth every penny. Now, I admit, I wanted the new Husqvarna 590, but for nearly 200 more... It didn't feel justifiable. I'm sure it's an unbelievable machine, but this Echo is plenty. Note that it is loud, so be prepared. I like to use my noise canceling earbuds, and it seems to make it very tolerable. It's also heavy, and moves so much air that it pushes against you as you walk forward. It runs very smoothly, it starts easily, and is pretty simple to use. I preferred the off switch on the old 755ST, versus the shutoff integrated into the cruise control similar to the 580... But you get used to it.

This is the most powerful leaf blower I have ever used. I can now clean up my backyard and front yard in half the time it took me with my corded electric Toro. It is a little heavy but this leaf-moving monster will save you so much time and energy during yard cleanups. I have big front and backyards so I tackle things in 1/4's. It takes me 4 days to clean my entire yard, about 10-15 minutes per section. Also, here is a tip for easy mounting after you start-up the blower b/c it is fairly heavy. I pick it up after I start it (idle), put it on top of a 55-gallon drum I have in my yard, and then I squat a little, put both arms through the backpack straps, and stand straight up. This is much easier than trying to pick this thing up off the ground and trying to get it on your back. It was easy to assemble and started right up after pressing the gasoline primer bulb 4 or 5 times and setting the choke . Remember, this is a 2-cycle engine (no oil) but you must mix 2.6 oz of 2-cycle oil with each gallon of gasoline to achieve the 50:1 oil/fuel ratio mix that this blower requires. I bought this 2-cycle oil from Amazon. I will post the link below. You will be very happy with this powerful blower. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EHKSK6K/?coliid=I1N3MOG29JPUG2&colid=14R0QHDRMBCH&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_ithttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EHKSK6K/?coliid=I1N3MOG29JPUG2&colid=14R0QHDRMBCH&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Plenty of power with this blower! I have 14 large oak trees that dump a ton of leaves in the fall. I get the whole yard done, after they all fall, in about 2 hours. One big cleanup, all the leaves down at once. Blows leaves, wet or dry. Sticks in the leaves, no issue. Don't blow towards windows or your vehicle. This will send a lot of small debris including rocks flying. Glad I bought this, and would recommend it to anybody with a lot of leaves to blow.

A bit heavy compared to others in this class BUT if you need to move a lot of leaves the 1100CFM this Echo puts out is head and shoulders above the competition namely Husqvarna, Sthil, and Redmax! Doing fall cleanup’s is much quicker than ever. Even at idle this sounds more powerful than the others, it has a deep choppy pop to the exhaust that makes it sound like a powerful 2 stroke dirt bike. Try using it without the 14” extension with the metal ring on it. It actually works better without it and is easier to use. I’ve had one since 2022 and have had zero problems other than it really likes gas.

As a senior citizen that owns a large property in the woods of New Hampshire, I am always looking for machines that enable me to keep up with the yard chores at my age. This Echo blower easily cut my time on the job in half. As an engineer, I appreciate good machines, and this is a keeper. I love this thing, it makes me lough out loud every time I use it. At idle it sounds like an old dirt bike, not a blower. It is so powerful that I think some states might require a License To Carry. If this blower grew up to be a vehicle, it would become a Ram-TRX. Now for the down side of ownership: This thing is thirsty, but that's why it has a large gas tank. The design of the cruise-control needs a redesign. It is too easy to go from "return to idle", to "turn it off". Since this unit is somewhat heavy, it needs a waist belt and chest strap added to the harness. I adapted the waist buckle assembly and the chest strap from my old dead Husky blower onto my Echo. All is good now.

Really isn't much to say about it, other than its crazy powerful. I mean, really, crazy powerful for man portable blower. This thing has enough chooch to uproot small plants and trees almost. It has no problem pushing huge piles of leaves with relative ease and it covers a wide enough area with enough CFM to move large areas of leaves with unbelievable speed. I have used a few backpack blowers before, and had a little hand jobber that I was using before this. Obviously this hand blower had no chance. This thing pushes as hard or harder at idle... Seriously. As compared to the other backpacks I've used, its easily 2 or 3x more powerful that those medium to large size blowers. The thing quite literally creates a torque steer on your body, utterly crazy and obnoxiously powerful for my yard. How long will it last? No idea but my little hand blower from echo is near enough 23+ years old and still runs pretty well. It seems well built but some of the plastic bits seem kinda meh compared to other brands. The straps are comfy enough but could honestly use a belt or some kind of shoulder bracing to run across the front of the straps. Starts easy enough thus far, it does require a bit of muscle but if you give her a good pull or two she fires right up. The actual tube elbow is really stiff and gets fatiguing to use over time, and I find my wrist getting rather tired frighting it and holding the trigger down after an hour or so of blowing you'll be glad to be done. It's also a heavy unit, and bulky as hell. With all the power in mind, it seriously sucks down fuel at a somewhat ghastly rate for all the chooch. Gotta run 89 or better fuel plus mix. Might get expensive for some, I don't know. But it does a heck of a lot of work in that time. Albeit a bit stinky and after an hour of using it stiffing dino squeezings burned up and farted out by this machine isn't super pleasant but hey.. Probably uses a full tank in 25-30min running full tilt and for normal use about a tank every 50-60min. Think it holds about half a gallon. So yeah. TLDR; if you want power this has it in droves, and will leave you laughing manically while your neighbor looks on in awe as you push huge amounts of leaves in no time flat. Oh, and be careful this thing will blow much more than just leaves all over the place, which if you aren't careful could be a bad thing. It is THAT powerful.

When I unboxed the ECHO PB9010T, I was impressed with how well-packed and intact it was. Assembly was straightforward, though it took me about 20 to 30 minutes to get the tubing orientation right. You get four blower tubes, two pipe clamps, and a clever plastic disk to prevent the wind from blowing on your back — a thoughtful touch, especially for those chilly days! Now let’s talk power! Imagine strapping an 80CC dirt bike engine to your back — that’s what this blower feels like. It's incredibly powerful, and yes, it’s LOUD. I highly recommend using hearing protection while operating it. But trust me, once you fire it up, you’ll realize why. This beast of a machine moves wet, heavy leaves, sticks, rocks, dog mess, and more like they’re nothing. Even thatch and pine needles deep in your lawn won’t stand a chance! Every time I squeeze the trigger, I can feel the raw power in my hands. I honestly look forward to clearing my yard now — it’s that much fun. Just remember to be considerate of your neighbors and avoid early-morning leaf-blowing marathons!

An absolute power house of a blower. It does everything I want it to do and it has no issues whatsoever. The only problem is that it weighs like 25 pounds but that’s to be expected, it’s a backpack blower after all. It’s rather difficult to put the hose together but if you manage to lock it into one of those channels on the inside of the tube, the hose will never be blown off by the blower. Overall great purchase for $650 Always starts in a single pull after going through the priming, it doesn’t feel scratchy or itchy so it’s comfortable, and it’s very quiet. I don’t even need to wear headphones when I’m using it.
