The Echo PB-255LN's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Echo PB-255LN compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 191 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for gas-powered handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman BV2500 and its 250 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • As this unit is rated at 354 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most gas-powered handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Craftsman B225, which boasts with 650 CFM.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas handheld blowers, the Echo PB-255LN is on the expensive side of the price range.

While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.

    Takes too long warming up. This leaf blowers engine went out after only about 6 hours run time. Its pure trash and I’ll never purchase another echo brand product after seeing a backlog off echo power equipment at the local small engine shop.

    + PROS: Easy start
    - CONS: Defective product
