Manufacturers of leaf blowers have had to think carefully about the new laws relating to noise and air pollution output from gas driven power tools. Out of all of these tools the gas blower has had the most negative record in producing large amounts of noise pollution. Echo haveanswered these needs by producing machines that both meet these needs and still produce the power we require to get the yard jobs done. They have also got to develop some nice features in the process.
With a maximum air speed of 145 miles per hour the Echo PB 251 hand held blower is easily able to cope with cleaning reasonable sized yards. The velocity of the air gets the leaves and debris moving and then the 390 CFM air volume produced makes sure that it carries on moving. It is powered by a 25.4 cc power boost vortex engine. It certainly packs a punch. Although it isn't as powerful as back pack models it still manages to cope with most jobs plus you haven't got all the problems of having to get strapped in. Despite the power produced, the level of noise produced has been kept down to 65db, which will meet the regulation needs in most areas. There is some discussion about the design of the engine as far as the number of piston rings used. This engine has one piston ring where as other designs have 2 rings. There have been no difficulties reported about this, as far as I know.
One of the most important features of a good power tool is its ability to start rapidly and easily. The PB 251 turns over very easily and there is no need to prime the fuel each time. When the weather is hot and you have to blow your yard and sidewalks off, you want something that is going to start quickly and complete your yard as soon as possible. This Echo blower does just that. It also has no problems starting when the engine is hot. Some consumers have complained about its ability to start, but this only seems to be a small minority. It is thought that the need for lean mixtures to meet emissions regulations might be the reason for some problems in these kinds of machines. You must make sure you use the correct grades of gas and oil in the fuel mixture.
A number of features make this gas powered leaf blower comfortable to use. With a weight of only 9.9lbs this is a light tool which helps a lot when it comes to using it for longer periods of time. It has two handles making it easy to hold and the top handle has three positions to help in directional operation. It uses rotation control technology to stop the force of the air coming out of the blower from attempting to twist the machine out of your grip. There is also a useful trigger lock. As well as being very quiet the tool doesn't suffer very much from vibrations.
The reliability and standard of production of yard power tools varies greatly but this blower is undoubtedly on the quality side of the range. It has a good amount of power and will take care of everything for the average home. It will blow light to moderate heaps of lawn clippings and leaves with no effort at all. It is a great machine for a reasonable price with a great 5 year warranty.
