Zoom on the Echo PB-250LN
The Echo PB-250LN
With its gas handheld design, the Echo PB-250LN is suited for homeowners with a yard that is generally under a quarter acre, where upkeep is light and occasional.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 391 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 165 miles per hour (MPH). These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
A 25.4-cc 2-stroke engine powers the PB-250LN, which needs a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mixture. It comes with a 15.9 fl. oz. tank, representing a standard capacity.
To provide more control over their job to the user, the unit has a variable speed control setting. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Echo PB-250LN to match it. On top of that, maintaining the selected speed is effortless, as it also features cruise control.
With a dry weight of 9.5 lbs, this handheld unit enables one-handed use during operation.

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

- When compared to other gas-powered handheld blowers, the Echo PB-250LN stands out due to its lower weight: just 9.5 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Stihl BG 50 is worth a look at just 7.9 lbs.
- Forced air leaving this blower’s nozzle has been clocked at 165 MPH, placing the PB-250LN right in line with the average air speed 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.
- It’s capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 391 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This places it at the low end compared to other 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.

Questions & Answers

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.
User Reviews
Junk, piston locked up after four years of use. Will be spending my money on Stihl products going forward.
I have a pb250ln mtg date June 2014 runs like a new one hasn’t quit on me yet
Bad carburetor
Excellent leaf blower, never quits, sips fuel and always starts first pull!
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.
