Today we're going to be sharing with you guys the selection of leaf blowers that I personally believe are the best options out there when it comes to the best backpack leaf blower. I get asked a ton of questions about which leaf blower we use and which one is best and why, and in today's video I hope to answer all of those questions!
Most of you guys are familiar with the big three names for handheld power equipment, namely STIHL, RedMax and ECHO. We've used all 3 brands over the last decade and they're all churning out really solid equipment in 2021. Which one holds out as the best backpack leaf blower on the market? I'll let you decide!
Thanks again to Alex from Weingartz Farmington for opening up and staying after hours to allow us to film this video. If you guys need anything outdoor power equipment related from lawn to snow and you live in Michigan, they have you covered!

Stihl best

@larrypage2089 3 года назад

I don't know of any homeowner that has a Backpack Blower,... the phrase residential Backpack leaf blower, is comical to me. All the homeowners I know just have a handheld leaf blowers, mostly gas, some electric powered. The only people I've seen with a backpack blowers are Lawn Care Landscaping professionals. Is this common place in other parts of the country for the average homeowner to own a backpack leaf blower? If so news to me.

@revfred2008 3 года назад

I'm a Stihl guy, but I love the Echo blower.

@jonathandoble4105 3 года назад

I'm a stihl guy normally but the echo 8010 just makes the rest look toys . Absolute most power hands down. Br600 is best all round blower still to this day i think for average folks

@FD-E-St-Fire 3 года назад

Jonathan Doble I just saw the same echo blower today at the dealer, it’s very impressive and yes it makes everything look small

@mdlivewirex7 3 года назад

i bought a used br600 for 200 and it starts first pull every time. Nothing more i can ask for.

@FD-E-St-Fire 3 года назад

LIVEWIRE that's good but of the 50 plus sthil products in the past 20 years the last 20 I've purchased there has definitely been a change in the quality. Another reason I've changed back is that the dealership changed ownership and started giving me hell for bringing warranty issues to him... if they give me issues fixing a warranty I will not buy again

@garyp1930 3 года назад

yes ,, br600 perfect year round ,, but need that echo for the heavy stuff

@mikeblank7165 3 года назад

Jonathan Doble : I hope you will give me an intelligent reply back. Last year (September 2019), I purchased the echo 8010. The metal on the tube tip was a bad idea! The design of the switch is old, and an inconvenient! The elbow angle hurts my elbow (I feel that I should Not have to start taking medication) ! Jonathan Doble : REALLY, Why should I have to take pain medication ? My Husqvarna 580 , Redmax 8500, Stihl 600 does not caused me to have physical pain. I put my Echo 8010 into storage last winter. This week, I am planning to take it back to my Dealer and let them work on the recalls the 8010 has generated. I do not have a lemon unit. It starts & works as it should. This is Design Flaws. Jonathan Doble : I hope you will give me an intelligent reply back. .

@johnnycashbenham1192 3 года назад

I bought the echo pb770t last year and I absolutely love it, it's easy to start, it's got plenty of power for my fall cleanup needs and I love the back pad blows air when it's running on my back it's definitely great in the summer months, true value near me had a discount sale for all the echo and sthl equipment, I saved a hundred bucks on a brand new blower from msrp 👌 I also got an 16 year old echo weed eater that still runs like a champ.

@manriquezmartin 3 года назад

I started my business with a Milwaukee 18v handheld blower and this year I purchased a Echo PB-580. Starts easy every time and has plenty of power. Looks good next to my Echo PAS-2620

@dominicdannible4245 3 года назад

I wanted the side start. Ended up buying the echo PB-8010T due to the CFM output. I have both Stihl equip and Echo. Prefer Echo Now. It even has an open fan design that cools your back after mowing and wacking!

@SkinnySkinch Год назад

CFM is deceptive. The Stihl moves more leaves.

@saltylandscaper7193 3 года назад

I just bought a new pb 580t earlier this year. (One hell of a jump from my crappy old poulan pro) and it does great for the normal spring/summer maintenance grass blowing we do. Once fall hits we will be using both blowers in tamdem. Love my echo trimmers and blower.

Final step is going commercial on my mower. Using the JD Z355R currently but eventually will go with a 52in commercial. Living the videos Brian. Even have my fiancee and kids watching with me now lol! Congrats on the house and may you have continued success in business bub!

@sniperdog15 2 года назад

The echo 580ht is a beast 1 - 2 pulls to start mine, for a home owner it’s perfect!! I own several Echos and very reliable!! Have 2 stihl products and they always take several pulls to get started ripping your shoulder out.

@Rgross27 3 года назад

We purchased the Stihl BR350 from Clarkston Weingartz about 3 or 4 years ago and as a home owner, we love it and it has been amazing and always fires up with no problems. We have almost an acre here..

@RiverValleyLandscaping 3 года назад

Husqvarna 580bts has the cfm that’s needed and the wide tube makes such a difference... makes all these other blowers seem like homeowner units. The volume of air it moves allows for getting leaves out of stone beds without throwing stone everywhere. Also has the hip throttle which is nice when you need that quick burst of air while waving the tube around with your other hand

@nige 2 года назад

I wonder why they never covered this unit. This is the one that seems to make the most sense.

@donnyhh313 3 года назад

I’ve got the smaller but still powerful Stihl 460 C with electric start. Charges when you run it and will wind 3-4 times before it doesn’t start. I’m able to start it about 80% of the time but after you run it and turn it off. It’ll start 100% of the time (so far) minutes even 30 minutes later. Game changer when I have to turn it off when someone wants to talk to me while I run it. Upgraded from an old Husqavarna so awesome upgrade for me.

Up in western Canada backpack blowers are a mainstay in the snow removal business. Absolute must have for snow removal. And that is where power comes into play, and 8010 is best I've used for snow removal and its not even close

@ryanoloughlin4234 3 года назад

The Stihl engine compartment is all encased so less branches and fences to get stuck on when blowing in tight spaces

@markclark1605 3 года назад

I own Husqvarna 580BTS which is a great machine. Owned Echo in the past which was flawless. A year or more ago I bought the Sthil BR 800X and it's the best IMO light weight comfortable with plenty of power. Sthil is well designed all around blowers.

@mhtube01 2 года назад

I had an Echo PB755ST that I bought online last year as a leftover, brand new in the box. (The 770 replaced that blower in Echo's lineup) Not too long after that I found a great deal online for a Stihl BR600, also brand new out of the box. My wife was the first to try out the Stihl and she loved it, never wanted to use the Echo again haha. The Echo was a good blower but the Stihl seemed to have noticeably better CFM and also better MPH but more importantly it was much quieter and more comfortable. I used them side by side in the fall and the difference was noticeable enough even though they were fairly close. I didn't need two blowers so I sold the Echo early this year. We love the BR600, it's perfect for our needs. Great with leaves and for cleaning up grass clippings after mowing. I also love the sound of that 4 mix engine, it's so unique and I don't know why some people knock them. I have a 2008 Stihl 4 mix weed trimmer/hedge trimmer motor that's never given me any trouble and so far the blower has been great. My parents also have a BG86 handheld blower from around 2013 and that's been a great blower.

@kurtneyhart1307 3 года назад

We've used all brands listed. During the summer redmax is the only one that will start on the first pull without vapor lock issues. Echo was the worst followed by stihl. Redmax never had issues.

@WarofClans 3 года назад

Used red max for ever never problems

@robertroberts9782 3 года назад

I got the Echo 8010t in early 2019. The first few times I used it, it felt almost too powerful, but once I got used to it, I've been wishing there was a 1500+ cfm backpack blower available, heh.

@keystonebrotherb 2 года назад

Echo 9010

@Derek-xr3uq 3 года назад

We’ve been running the top dog shindaiwa blowers for two decades. Eb630s to start, then eb8510 when came out back in 2006, which were replaced with 8520s and those with 854s. The 8510/20/854 are all the same basic 79.7cc blower with just improvements (namely ergonomics) for those unfamiliar and the 854s are still available (limited) today. A real testament to their reliability and performance of their design and that it was still competitive for so long. Not one of these units blew up despite year long use with countless steady hours of huge leaf cleanups. Minimal repairs other than the obvious straps and swivels. In fact I still use one of our original now 14 year old 8010s at my house. When these came out in ‘06 it was incredible - spawning the block across pavement “test” Our 854s are wayyyy past when I would have liked to replace, and now that it is clear there will be no *real* new flagship shindaiwa blower to come following the echo buyout I am finally taking the plunge and getting a batch of pb8010s this week (I was hoping to get the identical Shindy branded 810 just to keep that nice red color but availability is non existent around here) I hope Echo picked up some of Shindaiwa’s magic after buying them up and that i won’t regret my first round of echo blowers since the early 2000s.

@JsCrazyCutzLLC 3 года назад

We run Red Max equipment. We have a 8550,a 8500 and just recently replaced our 7500 with a 6500. OMG the 6500 is my favorite blower as of now. Of course we use the big ones for leaves!

I still think a normal rake is the best when your billing your customer per hour it is light and very little noise as well and just relaxing.

@jaybahre 3 года назад

With a rake you can bill one or two customers a day all day long but with a leaf blower you can bill four or five. That much faster. LOL

I usually do leaves 5 times in the fall. Any suggestions? I’m a Stihl guy and was think the BR600 but then for $100 more I could get the BR800x. Echo looks sweet but it sounds loud based on the videos I’ve watched.

@jm9092 3 года назад

I have that exact lineup in the thumbnail and I'd agree with the good better best as far as moving material. The redmax 8550 is great for pushing volume of more dry leaves. The stihl 800 does a great job of gettin up wet matted leaves. I just picked up the shindaiwa version of the 8010 and it is a monster. For reliability I like the redmax over the stihl. The stihl can be finicky. I've only just gotten the 8010 and again really like it.

@sigdetcdr 3 года назад

I was impressed at how the blower my landscapers had (Stihl BR 600) cleared the mess WAAAAYYY better than my Milwaukee M18 Fuel Blower.........no contest really. So that day I went to our local hardware store and bought the Stihl BR 800X Magnum. 912 CFMs! The landscape crew were here for 3 more days and I was able to help with debris clean up from the trees we were having removed............now I need to see what the most "bestest" string trimmer is in the Stihl line up.

Good Day, I am considering to buy a blower to replace the traditionnal raking (as I'm getting older). But in this case not to blow away dead leaves, but to "rake" grass previously trimmed with a trimmer or a brushcutter on DRY FIELD. Can I trust that a blower will do this kind of work ? Of course, I'm talking about a backpack blower. Thanks and Regards.

@bggreg3717 3 года назад

I'm looking at pb 9010, Husquvarna 580bts, and Husquvarna 570bts. I blow wet leafs alot. Does the higher mph of 570bts blow wet stuck leafs better then the 580? Does the pb9010 sound alot louder than the 580? Is the 9010 good for wet leafs too? I'm not sure what blower would be best for my application.

Will Engle I agree redmax has better quality. I just switched back to redmax blowers and hedge trimmers and still have a shindawa t27 that is pushing 24+ years old and still starts and performs like day one. Stihl has changed their game plan towards home owners equipment and failed the commercial guys I’ve had 35 to 40 pieces of Stihl over 15 or so years and the quality is not there. All I have now is their chainsaws

@timothytendick1550 3 года назад

@@FD-E-St-Fire a lot of companies from "back in the day" that earned a reputation for being of top quality, performance, longevity, etc., have lowered their standards. The "johnny homeowner" market is just to too big and therefore profitable not to go after that market. I think this is the point in time a brand's quality begins a downward slide. For a while, a company will ride on their reputation and make a fortune but eventually, as with Stihl, the brand is no longer one that guys, who earn a living using the stuff, have confidence in. BTW my Shindaiwa t230 is 20 years old and is still a little beast. It was made in JAPAN but not the Shindaiwa stuff of today. I wish I would have bought their flagship backpack blower at the time I bought their trimmer. I demo'd it and was blown away (haha). It could send a brick tumbling.

Great video. I had moved over to battery operated but just not getting the cfm I need. Going to look into Redmax, Stihl, and Echo. Thx

I am a stihl guy but this coming year will be my first year in business what’s your opinion on the stihl br700

@mikedennis8 3 года назад

I’m a STIHL guy. Currently have a br700 and a hand blower. Wanting to get either a br800 or maybe a br900 if they come out with one. Wanting to get the br450c with electric start for everyday mowing.

@jamespetrich5610 3 года назад

Perfect time. I was just looking at your old blower video. Probly going to get the stihl 700. The 800 seems abit too bit

Had the echo 8010 since March 2019. Was great last season but this season it's had the warranty tube and strap, then the recoil broke and echo warrantied the small block. Now again my dealer can't figure out why it just up and quit. They can't even get it started. I love the power of the 8010, but maybe just got a lemon being a newly launched unit.

I’ve been waiting like 3 months for my short block warranty. It’s just sitting in a shop

I use a Stihl Br600 Magnum and a 430 on a regular basis. Didn't realize how nice they are until I purchased an Echo PB-580t. The Echo has good power but, it is louder, vibrates alot, 5 lbs. heavier, and not nearly as ergonomic. It will work for home use, but my next one will be another STIHL! There is no comparison. Can't speak on the Red Max. Nice video.

@steelydan8421 3 года назад

Just used my Echo all morning. Shoulders are sore. I also like the fact that the Stihls are self contained. I have to worry about breaking/banging something with the Echo in tight places.

@silent_waters 2 года назад

Which one do you like better 430 or 600?

@steelydan8421 2 года назад

600. Hands down!

Great video. I'm stuck between echo and stihl. Both are winners in my book

As a homeowner I’ve always found it easier to just mow with the bagger. Chops them up and makes it easy to dump into the brown bags. I can’t just take to curb in my town. Have to be brown bags.

I run a stihl BR600 & a BG86 on the smaller jobs, low vibration and easy to start all the time 👍🏻

@joelisaac7835 3 года назад

I've tried stihl, Husqvarna, echo favorite one is the Echo pb8010 running two now blow awsome.. only problem is the warmup/start-up on them.

@andrews2203 3 года назад

I have same problem as you. Pain to start and warm up. But once it’s running it’s great

@brentmurray2220 3 года назад

Sthil for me! Have a br600 magnum. Was the biggest at the time. Primary reason for getting it was for cleaning snow off cars at condos. Had close to 200 cars total to do

@richarddegon3859 3 года назад

Any thoughts on the Maruyama 9000 leaf blower . Comparable to Redmax 8500?

@BriansLawnMaintenance 3 года назад

It was okay, I was a little under impressed tbh. But that was 4 years ago almost.

@chrissmith5911 3 года назад

Good video as always personally I like the stihl br450 over my 700 or 350 weight is lighter with not much power loss over the 700 I still use the 700 for heavy wet pine needles. Traded the 350 for a case of beer it sucks

@nickberger1236 3 года назад

Bought an Echo 770 today. Used an Echo 580 before and loved it. The 770 is the happy medium between the 580 and the 8010, which is perfect for me. It sure is thirsty though!!

I only buy Stihl equipment. Sure, parts are expensive and dealer exclusive and yes, they can be a little challenging to work on, but I like how Stihl encloses the engine, carburetor, fuel lines, cables, and spark plug in the plastic shroud. Gives it a cleaner look and doesnt get caught on anything. Plus, I have never had an issue with any of my equipment that was related to a defect. Stihl is the way to go.

Does all the blower back pack run mix fuel ?

@ArbitraryLifestyle 3 года назад

I just purchased the Stihl BR800C-E with the adjustable nozzle (makes a lot of difference actually) and the side-pull start which I absolutely LOVE! Got it for $625 at a local dealer.

In TN mine was a little over $800 after tax.

@jakemarkel4570 3 года назад

Stihl br800x all the way. I also have a redmax 8500 and the stihl is so much more comfortable mainly the spring system on the engine which makes you not feel any vibration at full throttle. One other point is that the stihl br800 is not even close to as loud as the 8500 you can barely even here it over the 8500. Both great blowers and have there perks.
