Common specs comparison

Make & handling

  • Manufactured by Echo, both the PB-2620 and the PB-2520 should uphold similar standards of quality and attention to detail.
  • Since both products are handheld blowers, they offer excellent mobility for your convenience.
  • Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds, offering you the freedom of movement to tackle larger outdoor spaces with ease.

CFM & MPH

  • The Echo PB-2620 boasts a slightly higher CFM rating of 456 compared to the Echo PB-2520 (453 CFM), suggesting it may have a slight advantage in leaf-moving power.
  • The Echo PB-2620 with an MPH of 172 slightly exceeds the 170 MPH of the Echo PB-2520, making it more effective at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris (acorns, etc.).

Weight & Noise rating

  • The Echo PB-2620, weighing 9.7 lbs, edges slightly above the 8.8 lbs of the Echo PB-2520, implying that while it's marginally heavier, you may notice a tad more comfort and ease in handling the latter.
  • At 70 dB, both devices are equally neighbor-friendly, ensuring that neither would cause undue disturbance, and equally gentle on your ears during operation.

Engine specs comparison

  • The Echo PB-2620 boasts a slightly larger fuel tank, holding 20.3 fl.oz., in contrast to the 18.6 fl.oz. of the Echo PB-2520. This allows for longer operation and fewer interruptions for refueling, particularly beneficial if the engines have comparable fuel consumption rates.
  • With matching engine displacements of 25.4cc, these products likely share similar fuel consumption rates per stroke, translating to comparable performance levels.
  • Both of these leaf blowers are equipped with 2-cycle engines, meaning they require an oil/fuel mix for operation.

Other features comparison

Vacuum ability

Neither the Echo PB-2620 nor the Echo PB-2520 can vacuum leaves, so you'll need an alternative approach to collect them.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. pb2620 has 2 ring chrome piston
    pb2520 has 1 ring aluminum piston
    I think
