Description

Overview of the Echo PB-250LN

The Echo PB-250LN in use

The Echo PB-250LN

  • Power: The Echo PB-250LN is a gas-powered blower with a maximum air volume rating of 391 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 165 MPH.
  • Handling: For those who are looking for a portable and convenient leaf blower, this model is a strong candidate. It’s designed for easy handling and use, and its size means it’s easily carried and stored. When compared to other gas-powered handheld blowers, the Echo PB-250LN stands out due to its lower weight: just 9.5 lbs.
  • Engine: The blower is fitted with a 25.4cc engine. As you may or may not know, 2-stroke engines require a mixture of gasoline and oil in order to keep all the moving parts lubricated while fuelling the engine’s internal combustion. The fuel/oil ratio recommended by Echo for the PB-250LN is 50:1.
  • Speed Settings: There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the PB-250LN offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
  • Noise: With a decibel rating of 65 dB, the PB-250LN is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the gas-powered handheld category.
  • Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a handheld blower, with a tank that holds around 15.9 fl. oz of fuel.

Questions & Answers

What 50:1 ratio mean (Asked July 28, 2022)

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
