My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ru-vid.comUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.

When I went to MS to help out with Hurricane Katrina, I bought an Echo chain saw from a local shop for like 300 dollars. It was expensive for the time but we needed our own saw to cut trees off houses and doors. That saw is STILL running, and has given me zero issues. Echo is for me!

I’ve owned Echo equipment for 30 years now. I still think they make really reliable equipment especially the gray units that I started with in the 90’s. I really hope that we’re not at the end of gasoline engines but you can’t ignore the signs. There should have been more R&D on both machines and not using customers as Guinea pigs.

The 8010s also had major dirt ingestion issues because of the intake baffles before the carb leaking, they improved the elbow , filter base and baffle for the carb, did a shortblock on one last month and even though it was a year out of warranty echo still covered the parts.

I broke down and bought mine yesterday, the 9010, and let me tell you, compared to some of the others, this is a beast, more than double the cubic feet of air a min, its amazing, there is lots, gobs of power, but where I am, I get matted pine needles at times, and have over a acre of yard, with lots of trees, so I wanted a bigger one, and pardon the pun was blown away with the power, if your of small frame, be ready for it, its like strapping on a small turbo jet, I am 6'00 over 300 lb, so its not that bad to me, but even at my size I could feel it wanting to torque me, other words, blower tube pushing back against me, but the leaves go flying also, its great.

I work at an echo and stihl dealer. We have had issues with short blocks on the 8010/9010’s coming in with scored cylinders, with no visible reason why. We have had issues with carbs. Also, we have seen multiple times the units bogging down after 10 minutes when the incorrect fuel filter is put on. The br800 problems we have seen is the muffler issue that Bree mentioned. We have had blower fans breaking and coming loose, and wearing the crankshaft on the engine side. And choke knob issues. We have replaced at least 50 shortblocks from both echo and stihl

In the last 12 years, we have used back pack blowers from Sthil, Echo and Husqvarna. The Sthil units worked ok and so did the Echos. These units were of the older type that were pre "blower wars" machines. About five years ago the shop/dealer we work with had some issues with Sthil and their policies over sales and marketing. I rolled in one day and all the Sthil logos and most of the inventory was gone! In it's place was all Husqvarna products. They were up front with me and since I was there for 3 new back pack units, they asked if I would try them and see how it went? I got an excellent deal and left there with 2 new BT 570's and a BT580. Neither myself or the dealer really knew what to expect and since we had always used Sthil and Echo stuff prior to this, I was nervous as we use and beat the living crap out of these units. We have 2 guys that mainly do cleanup of overgrown properties and de-thatch and overseed lawns on a daily basis. The blowers they use are probably running full tilt 2 or 3 hours EVERY day. They got the two 570's to replace the older Sthil units they had been using. The Sthil's (square top spark plug covers) had so many hours on them that when you pulled the starter rope there was hardly any compression left and it could be hard to start them if it was fairly cold out. The plastic covers were busted and missing etc. so they had earned their retirement Lol. The BT580 was used as an extra unit for any crew that had some kind of a major cleanup etc. on their route that day and regular hand helds were not enough. The Husky BT570's are still running today. Broken plastic and some duct and electrical tape on the straps and tubes to repair obvious abuse issues and the primer bulbs a few times and one unit needed a new coil last year but still going with way over 1200 hours on both of them. We only buy the Husky units since the first 3 and when you have employees running any tool, only god knows what kind of abuse they will get? Our older Echo units are gone now too and I can't say anything good or bad about them or Sthil at this point because we haven't used the newer models. After this video? It seems we made a good choice for now?

Could the echo carb issue possibly be a issue for the pb770t? We are commercial and only had ours for about 2 solid months. Within the last week it went from the amazing blower it is to crap. It works great till it gets warmed up good then it stops wanting to run. Boggs down and literally sounds like it's on its deathbed. We watched your video about it losing its spark and changing the coil. So we did that but no it's still running bad. Please help us, I watch your videos every time we run into a issue. You inspire me so much with helping my husband and his lawn business.

Chickanic- 👍Awesome 9010 info! I'd appreciate more info about why the choke won't work. As a non commercial user if/ when it happens I'll likely be fixing this myself. That jet issue just seems stupid in an area where threads should have been used. Probably bean counters at work there. I'm going to be proactive on the kill wire and cut small pieces of vacuum tubing to fit those areas of contact to act as insulation and secure it with zip ties.

Great info! I use the pb9010t for my business and after cleaning the carb, the unit worked like new again until a few weeks later when the blower power started cutting in and out. But that may be because I didn't secure the choke wire (or whatever it's called) nut properly when I put it back together.

That problem with the carb trying to spit the main jet back out is common across so many other brands of small engines. I was given a piece of equipment (that needed a lot of work) that had a Robin/Subaru engine and a 2bbl carburetor (single stage). The guy that gave it to me had removed the carb and blown it out using compressed air. After reinstallation it poured fuel into the engine and filled the crankcase. He got disgusted with it and stopped working on it. After I got it I went back through the carb and noticed there was only a hole where the main jet was supposed to be...sure enough he had missed the fact that he ejected the main jet AND that o-ring under high pressure. After researching this appears to be a VERY common problem for engines that sit for a while without starting (especially with ethanol formulated fuels). Unfortunately the only fix in this case was another carburetor, and since Robin/Subaru is no longer in the States supply is dwindling while demand for parts for old units is staying steady...so what used to be a $100 carb cost nearly $400. If I had to pay for the piece of equipment I would never had bought a carb for that kind of money...but now it's back together and running well. Long story short - tl;dr, carb manufacturers taking the easy way out in manufacturing by affixing main jets with o-rings are giving EVERYBODY fits.

I own 2 br800, one is a first yr model that still has lots of power ( more than a 2yr old red max8050 that I don't use that much).the newer 800 runs like crap and has no power. I have to watch that channel. Thanks I also own a 1 yr old echo 9010, the engine that lost compression. Echo warranted it but lost it for most of my fall clean ups. Dealership had to wait three weeks for the parts. Dealership also told me they 3 more in there shop for same problem. I noticed the spark plug was white as a gost before I dropped it off.

Me and my dad only ran echo back in the day. About 2007-2010. Never had issues with any of are echo equipment, and was used every day 8 hours. ,but we always did are maintenance on them. Now 2019 comes along. Bought echo ( of corse) for my new house. And first year was fine, 2nd year had nothing but issues with my back pack blower. Some neighbors had issues also. Took it in for warranty, Carb failed, and hurt the piston chamber and a bunch of other stuff. Never again will I ever buy echo Switch to stihl and wonderful.

We have all the brands of blowers and each one has its advantages over the others. The Red max blowers are by far the most durable as far as taking a beating and they are very reliable.

Uss a large tie wire on the 800 backpack blower to hold the tube in to the frame eliminating the shoulder issues in your video. I want a blower with two hoses, two nozzles. Sick and tired of the spinning around thing

Great Video! I purchased the Shindaiwa EB910 (Echo PB-9010) - super powerful blower - as a backup for my Shindaiwa EB802, as Shindaiwa discontinued the EB802. Unfortunately, I've found the EB910 is way too much blower for everyday use on weekly maintained properties simply to blow off driveways and sidewalks - the exception being for heavy leaf cleanups, which is why I rarely use it, and it remains in constant layup. Overall, it's power is spine twisting, side-to-side movement of the nozzle requires considerable effort - especially if at WOT, it's slightly more heavy, but considerably more cumbersome than the EB802... the race for more power has it's draw backs. Since Echo bought out Shindaiwa, they've been discontinuing the actual Shindaiwa line and replacing them with re-badged ECHOs - example the Echo PB-9010/Shindaiwa EB910, and the majority of their trimmers, edgers, blowers, etc. Personally, I've run Shindaiwa equipment for the last 7 years without any major failures. It seems the only true Shindaiwa blower, edger, and trimmer left are the EB770 blower - my next purchase for everyday use as the EB802 was discontinued, and the T235 Trimmer and LE235 Edger, which if still around when I need them will be my next purchase to replace the T242 and LE242, which have been bullet-proof - fortunately I have a new T242 and LE242 waiting on standby that I bought years ago for backups.

Nothing beats the original Shindaiwa equipment. I've been using their handhelds since the 90s. I still have a T230 from 2007 that runs with no issues. I also bought a T242 in 2016 and it's been awesome as well. They and Redmax always made the best 2 stroke equipment from my experience.

I had an Old Echo 751T that little thing was a beast I modified it by mounting it on a luggage cart and adding 6 inch pneumatic tires on the rear and a crazy wheel from a shopping cart on the front mounted on a spring action gate wheel bracket I used it as a parking lot blower .. four acres of asphalt four times a week for 20 years (lots of tree debris) I know I had up in the thousands of hours on that thing the last time I checked the piston and cylinder (the whole machine looked like) new .. cross hatches and milling marks still visible I wore clean through two sets of those pneumatic tires and two front wheels the only thing I ever had to do to the blower is blow out the carburetors and the oversized modified screen filter I put tank a couple of times

For residential use, I have a Shindaiwa EB633RT Blower (bought in 2009), and a Shindaiwa EB262 blower. The EB262 looks like the equivalent Echo. I like Shindaiwa, but I guess they are being absorbed into Echo.

I've been running an Echo 9010T since they came out. I replaced my Husqvarna 580 and it was might and day. They only complaints I have are the swivel tube sticks and has from the first month of use. Just recently, it's getting a little harder to start and doesn't idle at the normal start position. I usually just put the auto a little higher. I figured it needs a carb adjustment. I need to buy the echo tool for it. Otherwise it has been an incredible time saver!

Son saw my comment about Husky BT580 and reminded me that I DO HAVE GRIPES with it. One is, it is heavy, but I figure they all are more or less. Two is the poor off switch design that stays OFF unless you pull it back to ON after craanking until blue in the face, and three (which may be true of all of them) is the inability to start it while wearing it, i.e. the pull rope is way back there out of my reach and I have a goo boarding house reach.
