- Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld.

- Engine: The engine boasts a displacement of 58.2 cc. 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-580T is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Echo PB-580T allows precise control of the air output.
- Noise: With a noise rating of 70 dB, this blower can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity, with a tank able to hold around 62 fl. oz of fuel.
