Description

Zoom on the Echo PB-250LN

The Echo PB-250LN in use

The Echo PB-250LN

With its gas handheld design, the Echo PB-250LN is appropriate for homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.

It is rated for a maximum air volume of 391 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a maximum air speed of 165 miles per hour (MPH). In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.

A 25.4-cc 2-stroke engine powers the PB-250LN, which needs a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mixture. Its fuel tank holds 15.9 fl. oz., within the usual range for gas handheld blowers.

The Echo PB-250LN offers customizable airflow through its variable speed settings, along with integrated cruise control for convenient operation.

Weighing 9.5 lbs (dry), the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand.

The Echo PB-250LN's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Echo PB-250LN compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • The Echo PB-250LN tips the scales at just 9.5 lbs, placing it among the more lightweight gas-powered handheld blowers. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Stihl BG 50 is worth a look at just 7.9 lbs.
  • Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 165 MPH, which is within the expected range for gas-powered handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Poulan Pro PPBV25 and its 230 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • Its max air volume rating (391 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of gas-powered handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB, which boasts with 520 CFM.

The bottom line

STRENGTHS:
  • Cruise control
  • Lightweight (9.5 lbs)
AVERAGE SPECS:
  • Decent tank (15.9 fl. oz.)
  • Decent MPH (165 MPH)
WEAKNESSES:

It means that 50 parts of gasoline should be combined with 1 part of 2-cycle oil. So 2.6 fl.oz of oil per gallon of gas.

    I have purchased two Echo blowers PB-250-LN. Had no problem with the first one. Second one after about a year, the plastic recoil spring holder broke. Warranty repair would have cost me more than repairing it myself. This basically is a good product, but the plastic used here is a no no. Too much stress for plastic. However, I did just buy a PB-2520 for my grandson as well as one of the string trimmers. Please do not cut quality in critical areas like the recoil spring holder.

    + PROS:
    • Basically a good product
    - CONS:
    • Low quality plastic of the recoil spring holder
