Further down the page, you'll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Echo PB-2520 and the Echo PB-2620.
But before checking out these explanations, here's a table that summarizes the main pros of each of these 2 leaf blowers:

Common specs comparison
Make & handling
- As the PB-2520 and the PB-2620 are both Echo blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.
- These two products are handheld blowers and therefore provide you with superior mobility.
- Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds.
CFM & MPH
- The Echo PB-2620 with a CFM of 456 slightly exceeds the 453 CFM of the Echo PB-2520. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
- The Echo PB-2620 with an MPH of 172 slightly exceeds the 170 MPH of the Echo PB-2520. Thus, in comparison, the former expels air at a slightly higher speed, and should do a better job at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet leaves and debris (acorns, etc.).
Weight & Noise rating
- The weight of the Echo PB-2620, which is 9.7 lbs, slightly exceeds the 8.8 lbs of the Echo PB-2520, and will therefore require you to carry around slightly more weight.
- Both devices have a noise rating of 70 dB. They should therefore be equally demanding on the ears.
Engine specs comparison
- The Echo PB-2620 has a slightly larger fuel tank, with the volume of 20.3 fl.oz., compared to the 18.6 fl.oz. of the Echo PB-2520. Thus, it can store more fuel and you may theoretically operate it for slightly longer, if their engines had the same fuel requirements.
- These two products have an identical engine displacement of 25.4 cc. Thus, they consume comparable amounts of fuel per stroke and will provide you with similar output.
- Each of these leaf blowers features a 2-cycle engine. Thus, they both require you to have an oil/fuel mix to operate.
Other features comparison
Vacuum ability
Neither the Echo PB-2520 nor the Echo PB-2620 has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.

Thank you and this video well done! You didn’t mention weight…small difference in weight on them, but w extra gas plus extra weight, one might want to know that for their needs. Above all I want to tell you your video is really good and helped me make my decision (I am replacing one similar to the 2520, which worked great for me 15 years) but borrowed a blower similar to the 2620 and loved that base handle but I also felt the heavier weight, so a factor to think about. YES refilling the gas tank seemed too often on the old one…so the larger tank is a plus for me.
Bobby is almost right, PB-2620 has a 2 ring piston and a chrome plated cylinder for longer life.
PB-2520 has a 1 ring piston and standard cylinder.
pb2620 has 2 ring chrome piston
pb2520 has 1 ring aluminum piston
