No, but depending on your age and budget - I would consider a backpack blower. I don’t personally have one, but they are much more comfortable and you have better control.

I have one that looks like that but it is a husqvarna. It’s been going strong for almost ten years.

I’ve used backpacks before. But I mainly blow my driveway off after cutting grass and some leaves in the winter. Nothing heavy duty.

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.

Fuzzy pic. I buy the cheapest ones I can find. Use the premix True Fuel and it’ll last forever. I use 40:1.


It be's that way sometimes.

Get a 40V cordless for that type use. I widdled out all of my 2 cycles except for a chainsaw about 2 years ago. Haven't looked back.

I’ve had that model for about 3 years. No regrets.

Yes I have it. Starts every time I pull on it. I only use Tru Fuel in it.

I have a handheld RedMax. It's a very powerful machine, and also lightweight.

Edited to add - If I was buying today, I would also consider a Makita 2x18V battery unit.
