Pros
- The cheapest way into a name brand gas backpack blower here
- Tube mounted throttle with cruise control keeps your hand relaxed
- Vented back pad keeps you cooler on hot days
- A 5 year consumer warranty
Cons
- 517 CFM is modest for a backpack, so wet leaves take more passes
- At 22.7 lb dry it is a lot to wear for a small yard
- Sold on Amazon by a third party seller rather than ECHO
