Powerful Blower
By Robert W.
Delmar, New York
Purchased 10/18/2018 |
Review Posted 11/11/2018
I have a 1/2-acre with 25 trees. This blower cut my time by 70 percent compared to when I used a hand held blower. Wish I had purchased this year earlier. I could have purchased a smaller model and been fine. Anything bigger is definitely for commercial use. This model blows wet leaves effortlessly and dry leaves go 12'-15'. I can use this when it's windy because it moves leaves so quickly. It will pick up garden stones so throttle down around lightweight things in the yard.

Closest to the commercial product I have used. Big leaf drop this week in NJ and it made easy and quick work of getting all the leaves to the curb.

Replaced problematic echo pb-770,husky is lighter,can't tell the difference in power,on paper the echo is a better blower? All I have in my trailer is echo, gonna sneak in a few more husky products. Very happy - excellent blower. Very good company to purchase from, got it in two days!!!! All around great experience.

Review Posted 04/27/2016
I bought this because I had used my nabors as my hand held was in the shop. The power was so much better I ordered a 560bts and some how PED sent me a bfs. witch is left hand control. Took some getting used to but all in all it is a great blower with lots of power. only wish it was right hand control.

My second identical blower. One for Maryland and the other for my house in Maine. Powerful, but light. Starts immediately. Had two back surgeries and this one is the most comfortable I have tried. Will buy another when the time comes.

Powerful & light

Review Posted 11/02/2014
I have a hill in the front of my house and a 9 hp walk behind blower that is very heavy. Last year I hurt my shoulder & foot pushing & pulling the blower up & down the hill.
I recently bought this backpack blower & am amazed at the power & lightness of the machine. It does everything I want it to do. I only wish I bought one a long time ago. I recommend it highly!

Better then redmax
By Frank C.

Review Posted 10/22/2014
As a professional landscaper, I've bought dozens and dozens of backpack blowers in the last 40 plus years. I started with Echo Redmax 7000 plus series. The Redmax (I own 8) have a very poor warranty policy. They always find a reason to not to fix the machine when it's under warranty. I switched to Husqvana blowers. They're cheaper, more reliable, and just as powerful as the Redmax.
