If you didn’t read my review on the yard trimmer yesterday make sure to check it out HERE.Today’s I’d like to talk about their lawn bowers, many of us refer to them as leaf blowers as they have many efficient and effective uses. Over the years I have seen my hubby grab a leaf blower to clean up things you wouldn’t think an outdoor power blower could be used for! Whether it’s blowing leaves in the fall or grass clippings all summer long a leaf blower will make the ultimate Father’s Day Gift for your Dad!
ECHO offers a great line of Power Blowers from handheld to backpack models. Regardless of the model your looking at ECHO’s lawn blowers are powerful, productive, and quiet. These aren’t the typical leaf blowers you’re used too!Plus, their handheld models feature an accessory that sounds great! It’s called
the ECHO Mosquito YardShield™.
Here is a bit from their site about it:
This innovative insect abatement system comes in an easy-to-assemble kit that is designed for retrofit on the popular-selling ECHO PB-200, PB-201, or the PB-251 Handheld Blower. The kit includes a backpack tank, flexible hose, and a nozzle/tube assembly. The kit, blower, and EPA-registered Mosquito YardShield™ concentrate are all sold separately.The system is ideal for professional lawn service contractors, homeowners, campers, businesses, municipalities, and anyone concerned about disease-carrying insects. For professional landscape contractors, the Mosquito YardShield™ kit offers another revenue stream. Not only is it easy to assemble and operate, it is inexpensive to use. Adding 1 ounce of Mosquito YardShield™ to 1 gallon of water provides 10,000 sq ft of coverage.

This is another product that I truly cannot talk about since I truthfully don’t know the product well enough. However, I can tell you the melt down hubby had when the weedwacker came and the leaf blower had to be signed for and I wasn’t home to accept it!I took this pic of him using the lawn blower after he used the lawn trimmer to get all around the playground. He then went back over it with the yard blower to get rid of the piles of grass the string trimmer left behind.
Hubby’s Review:
Easy to start, light weight. Easy to maneuver. Really liked that he could easily use it with one hand but if using it for an extended period of time he loved that you could tilt it side ways and there was another handle for added support.
