I have 2 of the echo PB250 blowers. They are powerful, always start and no issues with either one for several years now. Echo has a great warranty as well.

Don't think they make this model anymore and not sure what the new model number for this blower is.

If I were to buy again I would probably go for a backpack blower. But the handle blower is quick and easy to grab and go for quick use.
