Echo PB-580T Backpack Blower Review After 2 Years

[@1980zz4]

I've had my Echo 580T for over two years now. I use it very frequently and love it. My Echo days started when I bought my first edger. I had it for over 10 years when it dawned on me that it wasn't giving up and needing replacement. I now own several Echo yard products and am very happy with them all. I easily recommend Echo to everyone.

Same here, I have this blower and a mix of both Stihl and Echo, the Echo gear just seems to be of better quality.

[@MarkSmith-nw4os]

Parts availability is a huge advantage for the Echo.

Echo chainsaw’s are the reason I switched to echo products. I have a ported 501p, best saw I have ever owned.

[@MJorgy5]

I recently bought a top handle echo saw and it's a little beast. A little cold-blooded upon start-up compared to a Stihl, but she runs out well and restarts easily when warm. It does not have tool-less bar adjustments like many Stihls do.

[@michaelwright1602]

Love mine, very comfortable to use, does the job with ease here in SE Michigan, lots of trees on roughly the 3/4 acres I use this blower on. It will move some very heavy leaf fall, I let things go for a month, one tank of gas and we got her done.

Nice, these follow up reviews are great

You are REALLY missing the boat on the chainsaw - I switched from Husquvarna chainsaws to Echo and they are SO MUCH LONGER lasting and start easier

[@hallhouse5098]

Mine was intermittently starting and now it won’t start. I have spark and the primer bulb working. Not sure i’d kill switch shorted. This machine likes red armor fuel .

[@johnnowosacki2527]

I have one that is in like-new condition and is dead as a door nail. Won't even think about starting. Has spark, timing is correct, has fuel and compression. Exhaust is not plugged. Primer bulb is working fine. POS in my opinion.

@@johnnowosacki2527 did you use pre mix or you mixed

[@johnnowosacki2527]

@@Deon0026yickadee did my own mix. Finally sold the thing to a person who 'knew they'd get it running'. Never heard back from them.

[@3r8mo]

Would definitely recommend upgrading to the 8010t such a more powerful blower.

[@tkdetecting2147]

I'll save the $250 and stick with this one. Good enough for my needs.

[@josecortez2678]

Does anyone know what this metal on the back below that exhaust?

[@sadeewingfield1784]

Ground wire

[@ericmoses5763]
