I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.
I have the echo 8010 and it is a BEAST! Did my neighbor's yard yesterday that was covered in old decaying stuck in the grass leaves that his redmax 8500 wouldn't budge and this echo 8010 blew everything right up and moved it all onto the driveway. Even raised up and blew 3 grass snakes along with the leaves LOL. There's not much that this blower won't move. Seems like around 4HP to me, whatever the power output is it is outrageous and this blower is worth every red cent I paid for it.
Big Texas love the lil story about your echo brought a smile to my face only problem is while ive used both ive had reds for 15 years an there isnt nuttin that ive come across that it wont move but that is just my opinion an would put more than money on my opinion but again cute lil story
@@jbstepchild Cute story my ass, I had a redmax 8500 since 2011 and it was a badass blower until the echo 8010 came out this year. If you believe the 8500 will out blow an echo 8010 you're smokin crack buddy. Not even the new redmax 8550 will out blow an 8010 and that's a fact, I'll bet money on it. Redmax 8500 blows 41 newtons of air and the echo 8010 blows 44 newtons of air. Numbers talk and B.S. walks.
I just got the Stihl BR800c. I love it. I tried the Echo PB8010T at GIE I liked the power and it had more power. When I got home I talked to my service manager about the Echo & the Stihl. He said that they have had no problem with Stihl but with the Echo they have replaced a lot of motors on them. Even though the Echo blew harder they are having problems with their motors & engines. Keep that in mind.
When I use our backpack blowers at work I wave that tube back and fourth and side to side all over the place. I look ridiculous but it really makes a big difference.
@@desmondauffrey7823 Thanks Desmond! Good to see ya over here too buddy...so many youtubers never go visit other channels...I think it's great to see what "Dirt Monkey" has going on! Always an enjoyable and educational video for sure!
Yes, would love to see the new PB8010 and the BR800 head to head. The old PB770T held its own but looking at the spec sheet is like comparing an F350 to an F150. Have a hunch the PB8010 will outwork the BR800. At least the spec sheet shows Echo having more volume with slightly less MPH. Please do the test. Thank you
The 8010 has my pick. Side start is a little overengineered imo. Good workers prime and start the blowers on the racks/tailgate and once they don PPE and walk to the leaves its all warmed up. Plus the Echo has a big air cleaner (far less maintanence) and is lighter with better pads. I will take all day comfort and less maintanence over valved 4mixes and a side start that hasn't been proven for long term abuse.
Great Video... Just a suggestion. Have both guys stand side by side with their blowers on and running , shut them off then crank them again. Thats going help others determine what they like best. Convenience, comfort and power means alot.
The most underrated factor of the magnums is the straps that belt strap really helps from the machine trying to twist your upper body to the right. Noticeable after a full day on it thats for sure.
Don't let the failed start detour you away from buying the Stihl 800.... They weren't starting it the correct way.... You do a 1/4 pull then a full pull and it starts up everytime.
I'd personally love to see a new top of the line blower battle video. I would find the results very interesting! Up to this year, I have used mid size blowers on my jobs and at my house, mainly Husqvarna. Throughout working for different companies within the industry, I've used Echo (which I loved) and RedMax (which I fell in love with more, due to their amazing power). Therefore, this past spring, I bought a RedMax 8500, to help me with my mowing and clean ups, throughout the year and so far I love the blower! As from what I knew at the time, the RedMax 8500 was the best performing blower on the market. But now after watching this, I noticed the Stihl blower had some really awesome user comfort options and then there's the new Echo, which I had no idea about and looks sick! Personal RedMax 8500 review: Power wise, the RedMax 8500 is on point; it can move a yard of heavy wet leaf's with ease. Weight wise, its heavy but manageable; the strap cushions do help bare the weight some but a chest and waist strap would benefit immensely! Lastly, my RedMax is a bit of a gas hog but I guess that's the price you pay for power. Love my blower all an all, it has made my fall cleanups much easier and has allowed me to pick up a couple extra accounts (which at the end of the day, better performing product=possibly for expansion=MORE MONEY) I definitely support the making of a blower battle video, as the result will influence my next blower purchase. Thanks Stanley, keep up the good work man! SNOW SESSION IS AROUND THE CORNER :)
No problem Stanley! That you for your hard work doing all these videos! I woke up at 3am to 6” of snow in Attleboro, Massachusetts, the plow season has begun!!!!
Stihl took a lot of time and development into making this starting system, it may not be perfect at this point however the unit should start up much easier than you guys made it out. I am guessing the user turned the choke on initially but then when he put it on his back he pulled the throttle which then turned the choke back off immediately, this unit needs to be choked and the bulb should be purged also before each cold start. If all of the above was done correctly then something is broken or defective on that unit I’m guessing. Echo makes great blowers, however Stihl makes the best on the market when it comes to backpacks and handheld. I know some of you guys are going to swear by Echo, Shindaiwa, Husqvarna, Redmax, Maruyama etc. But in the end my opinion is that Stihl Blowers last the longest if taken care of and properly maintained. I have 20+ years of small engine professional experience. I say that not to toot my own horn but to let people know that I am not brand biased due to endorsements of any kind, and I have worked in mass production facilities in the past that specialized in OEM work for almost any small engine or power tool brand you could ever think of. Over the years of doing this I have seen what equipment breaks and what does not, and my honest opinion is all of these blower comparisons video are cool and all but regardless of what you purchase just always have a professional do your maintenance on a routine regular basis. If you do so and don’t do anything stupid like abusing your equipment, it will last forever. Hope this helps someone.
Great video as usual, the old guy running the Echo does a better job blowing, he pays more attention to detail. The young guy who is running the Stihl does a poor job. The Stihl blower allows one to blow faster, faster doesn't=better job.
We have 4 of those BR800 and 3 of them died already. All 3 had the exhaust valve break.. We had 5 BR600 before that and all had valve problems.. Stihl old BR450 were bullet proof but these 600 and their new 800 just don't last.. We are going to try the Echo to see if they last better. No it's not a fuel/oil mix problem
I'm a Stihl fanboy. But i ran the echo for a few days prior to purchasing my last blower. I did not like the fit anfld feel compared to the stihl. I ended up buying the BR 600. I didn't feel the extra expense was worth it. But again. I'm a Stihl fanboy!
@@anthonymorrison2167 so we really are Stihl fans. We have them at the fire department, although they cheaper out and bought a 400 series. I tried like crazy too get a 6 or 700 series. $ always gets in the way. So.... We wear them for hours on goat trails at best. We have 1 echo...nobody likes it. Obviously I'm an old guy, BUT on flat surface yards and parking lots an hour is no problem. Even goat trail hikes aren't bad. With the Stihl. See if you can demo both and judge for your self
Used many Stihl blowers over the years and they are excellent, however I wouldn't swap my Husky 580bts for anything! Saying that, if you fit the flat nozzle you better have strong shoulders as it tries to rip your arm off!
I'm a big fun of sthil. BUT I'M NOTICE IN THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS VIDEOS THAT ECHO HAS MORE POWER THAN sthil BOOM!!!! I'm gonna start looking at that new echo that you showed at the end of the VIDEO.
WHAT ABOUT THE SERVICE ON THE DEALER BECAUSE AT ALL THE ECHO DEALERS I KNOW THE SERVICE STINKS REMEMBER IT IS NOT JUST TO PUT THE EQUIPMENT OUT THERE IS THE SERVICE KEEP BLOWING FORWARD
tbt..Normally you can be kinda dorky in these videos... But either way you still produce great stuff..And I appreciate the info you produce. But, the best part of this video that got the like button was 13:05 when you tell him "this isn't a dealer pro video, this is a dirt money video." bahabhahahaha that was hysterical !! another good video. Great stuff keep it up.
Echo over stihl any day, echo has cleaner results on the turf, while this stihl would have to pass twice. And the stihl barrels are to heavy and can’t swing as fast
Was looking at getting a Stihl BG86,but after this video I need to get a BR800. I don't have the leaves to justify the purchase, so I will be planting more trees.
You guys could maybe try out one of those 4 stroke Makita blowers. I know in one of your previous videos you were impressed with the performance of the 4 stroke cement saw that Makita came out with.
it's not only about the size of a blower extext just in this video it was shown that if you really knoe how to blow , work , you can move any blower in the world and get the same results.
I just sold my Echo 770T a week ago along with my Husky 580 BTS to purchase the Stihl BR 800X and I can say without a shadow of a doubt the Stihl is more powerful than both of those blowers. It's lighter, fit's my back a lot better and it scours leaves better. I have no regrets selling both of those blowers to purchase the Stihl Br 800X, IMO it's just a nicer blower overall.
What it comes down for me is how long and frustrating is it to crank, stihl and husq were all hard pulls on the cord and took like 5 minutes to get them going and staying alive. The Echo has a way easier pull and stays cranked alot easier. This was on all very used machines, my echo cranks a lot sooner and is way less fussy than those two brands. I have no xp with red max so can not say anything good or bad towards them. I just know I don't want to be yanking on a Stihl or Husq for 5 minutes with their recoil...
There is one for you what’s the warranty on the steel ?? We just bought the 8010 why . 5 year Warrantee steals a great company they make fantastic chainsaws the best I am in the market ... how’s that warrantee on the steel for their leaf blower ... no brainer
Thanks for your video . I got my stihl the other day. Its American made. What's cool is its quality like my Indsin motorcycle. I'm proud of it. Runs smooth . I dont have to wait till its warm like I do my echo. I can start it and go to work. The echo I have to baby sit
Thank you for everything you do I don't talk to much but y do watch a lot and thank for reply me you put a long lasting smile on me ,God bless you and family. 👍
Hugh Jafro if a vacuum sucks, it doesn’t suck If it doesn’t suck, it suck Does that mean if a blower blows, it doesn’t blow, and if a blower doesn’t blow, that really blows?
That pull starter smells a lot like the flash starters / Fail Starters Polini uses on their 2 strokes. I hope Stihl has done their homework on that "Feature"
We use Redmax Relax at work. Personally I use Echo but that was before I knew any better. Hands down you won't beat the power of Redmax, but will develope back problems. My opinion comes down to the performance of the operator. Sometimes it's better to use a good machine that is comfortable, and thus able to work longer, than have a bunch of power and kill your body.
Sorry after 20 years of using sthil I'm turning back to redmax blowers and shindawa weedeater. Ever since they went to the 4mix systems it has been nothing but issues,yes the valves are adjusted. But they are to hard to start and run rough with no low range. I have a redmax blower we use that is a 20 year plus old blower and it starts on the first pull every time. We have a shindawa t27 that I have been using for 25 years and it starts on the first pull every time and out performs the sthil today. I have given sthil chances to properly work under commercial conditions but the last set of units I bought are now failing again. It is not that I don't know anything about the business, I've been in business since 1980, I've used every machine made to come to my decision on residential and commercial properties cutting up to 180acres a week. I have a heavy heart to turn my back on sthil
I have a 90cc echo that will blow that Stihl off the map! Did you get the smallest ech you could find for comparison?my echo blows small log piles from ten feet,not sticks but small logs.seriously,it does.doesnt just blow the grass off the lawn you can actually dig holes with it no problem.and it's less money.
Echo doesn’t make a 90cc blower it is just under 80cc at 79.9cc. Did you bore yours out? I have the older PB8010T and the Stihl BR800C and the Echo was still more powerful then and even better as the PB9010T.

I saw that!!!
a Silver Fox at that!
Yep...gotta get me a Stihl blower!! That thing is awesome! Now get on a skateboard and see how far it will blow ya!!! WOoooo!!

cfm does the work. The 8010 is incredible
well its not quite like an F350 to an F 150... an F150 would be like a WORX electric blower, probly an F350 to an F550
Chris Rowlison true maybe that’s a better analogy.
LOL- you guys are to funny
8010 beats anything on the market i have one its awsome with heavy wet leafs
Definitely need a comparison between the 2 new ones. Price, weight,speed,ease of use, fuel tank size, etc.
The 8010 has my pick. Side start is a little overengineered imo. Good workers prime and start the blowers on the racks/tailgate and once they don PPE and walk to the leaves its all warmed up.

Thanks for the feedback Josiah!
Hell yeah do that comparison with the new echo and the Stihl I think it’ll be very interesting
Mike Faccenda ^^^^^ Agreed, can’t wait to see that
OK- I'll see if echo and redmax are up for it.
Wlw
I've always been redmax guy but I have echo 8010t n it blows everything away

STIHL:- has amazing quality. Thats a fact.
Echo 8010 is a beast💪
loving mine!
Unfortunately this is not a fair comparison... Little blower against big blower...
My blower a weedeater both just got stolen out of the bed of my truck a few days ago. Sadly I’m in the market now and this video was really helpful!
That's terrible to hear, but I am glad the video helped you out !
What blower you guys suggest for mon commercial clean up of 2 acres of leaves?
It's no comparison- ECHO put the customer first!!! Echo is the clear winner...
Do we know these engine sizes? Are they the same, or is one with larger displacement?
the old echo?? you might as well put the stihl up against a homelite blower 😂
Nice point about how much difference the technique and speed of the operator makes.
Thanks for watching !
Operator makes a big difference
Always have been and always will be an echo fan boy, however I love that side pull feature. Would be great for talkative customers.
Customers that make a habit of talking every week you should just send crew there . They can call you or text if they want something
What are the CFM's of each one.
Stihl 800 is awesome... 800c looks comfy. I like them when they're brand new and the backpack straps aren't all worn in and smooshed.
At 3:22 either grey fox or big ass skunk walk right behind you guys by the water.
Great video as usual, the old guy running the Echo does a better job blowing, he pays more attention to detail. The young guy who is running the Stihl does a poor job. The Stihl blower allows one to blow faster, faster doesn't=better job.
You can feel the air pushing back on you with the 800's the can blow some serious leaves
Would like to see your old blower & the red max & the Stihl have a go at 👍
Yea man would like to see all 3 on long term performance and prices !!!👍
Got it Neno, thank you !
Stan needs to do another one of these with this years updated models.
Would never buy anything that hard to crank
3:19 - 3:24 a fox runs thru the woods directly behind the guy with the blower😅
We have 4 of those BR800 and 3 of them died already. All 3 had the exhaust valve break.. We had 5 BR600 before that and all had valve problems..

You are exactly correct. Stihl blowers are not reliable long term. Good for 100 hours of operation then a ton of major failures !
3:31 WHAT CROSSES BEHIND HIM TO THE RIGHT???
Indiscreetz looks like a skunk.
its my pet fox
I'm a Stihl fanboy. But i ran the echo for a few days prior to purchasing my last blower. I did not like the fit anfld feel compared to the stihl.
I ended up buying the BR 600. I didn't feel the extra expense was worth it.
But again. I'm a Stihl fanboy!
how does your back and shoulders feel after running it for awhile say an hour?
@@anthonymorrison2167 so we really are Stihl fans. We have them at the fire department, although they cheaper out and bought a 400 series. I tried like crazy too get a 6 or 700 series. $ always gets in the way.

Obviously I'm an old guy, BUT on flat surface yards and parking lots an hour is no problem. Even goat trail hikes aren't bad. With the Stihl.
See if you can demo both and judge for your self

What drone do you have Stanley?
I just bought a Husqvarna 580bts and it snowed... I can't wait to try it out!
Used many Stihl blowers over the years and they are excellent, however I wouldn't swap my Husky 580bts for anything! Saying that, if you fit the flat nozzle you better have strong shoulders as it tries to rip your arm off!
Hey, there is a fox on shore walking to the right.. at minute 3:22 and 8:55. Awesome!! BTW, That would be me trying to start the machine....
A three way battle of the blowers would be awesome!
Both look awesome. Great video mate.
Thank you David !
Did you see big foot in the back 3:31
That was a dam dog
Wasn't that his pet fox
That was the pet fox
Saw a Stihl rep demonstrating 800 when they first came out. impressive.
I'm a big fun of sthil. BUT I'M NOTICE IN THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS VIDEOS THAT ECHO HAS MORE POWER THAN sthil BOOM!!!!
I'm gonna start looking at that new echo that you showed at the end of the VIDEO.
WHAT ABOUT THE SERVICE ON THE DEALER BECAUSE AT ALL THE ECHO DEALERS I KNOW THE SERVICE STINKS REMEMBER IT IS NOT JUST TO PUT THE EQUIPMENT OUT THERE IS THE SERVICE KEEP BLOWING FORWARD

Lol, thanks Devon !
That's awesome love that side start.
Side start is the shiznit
Echo over stihl any day, echo has cleaner results on the turf, while this stihl would have to pass twice. And the stihl barrels are to heavy and can’t swing as fast
Douglas Spencer
I would like to see all three blowers in use with prices.
Zander missed a lot of leaves ! Frankie does a better job
I think you missed the point.
Yeah- its true- Franky is a beast though....
Was looking at getting a Stihl BG86,but after this video I need to get a BR800. I don't have the leaves to justify the purchase, so I will be planting more trees.
It's like a Ford vs Chevy argument they both produce bad ass stuff
Was that a fox running by at 14:10?
Im curious too!!!
Yeah this dude has a fox as a pet.
Price and how to measure blow power and distance please.
Have you tried the red max ones or can you do a review
If all these videos have taught me anything...its that i need a Franky on my crew!
All Stihl products break, and fast 40 years landscaping and every time have bought anything Stihl always breaks and impossible to work on
Noted! Thanks
Whats the animal in the background @ 8:58?
10:15 best part of the video 🤣
Not a fair comparison. Not a fan of Stihl anything. They have some good things but not the best at anything.
You guys could maybe try out one of those 4 stroke Makita blowers. I know in one of your previous videos you were impressed with the performance of the 4 stroke cement saw that Makita came out with.
Please use echo against stihl. I would appreciate that
Will do!
8:55 mark ?
The BR800 X has more power then the C the X's tube is different more narrow
it's not only about the size of a blower extext just in this video it was shown that if you really knoe how to blow , work , you can move any blower in the world and get the same results.
Def do a 3way heads up comparison!

The Echo has a way easier pull and stays cranked alot easier. This was on all very used machines, my echo cranks a lot sooner and is way less fussy than those two brands. I have no xp with red max so can not say anything good or bad towards them. I just know I don't want to be yanking on a Stihl or Husq for 5 minutes with their recoil...
Thought you were going 8010! Damn
Love to see a comparison of that 800 and the 8010.
Do all three blowers, head to head! Absolutely!
There is one for you what’s the warranty on the steel ??
We just bought the 8010 why . 5 year
Warrantee steals a great company they make fantastic chainsaws the best I am in the market ... how’s that warrantee on the steel for their leaf blower ... no brainer
Yea do the comparison from the new stihl and new echo awesome videos by the way.
3:21 What was that animal back there?
yes we for sure need a 3 way comparison
Hey Stanley I Just Seen the 800 Today and You Are Read my Mind Thank you for this Video 🤩
No problem Glenn, thank YOU for watching!
Thanks for your video . I got my stihl the other day. Its American made. What's cool is its quality like my Indsin motorcycle. I'm proud of it. Runs smooth . I dont have to wait till its warm like I do my echo. I can start it and go to work. The echo I have to baby sit
I would like to see the new 1080 blower. Would like to see it in action, a possible buy for me later
Did anyone notice the animal in the woods at 3:22
Yup like a skunk 🦡🦡🦡
Stihl hit the nail on the head this time!!
Great video, yes I would really like to see it head to head , redmax, echo, still 2021 version. Thanks
Used my Echo BPB to clear out light powdered snow 2 weeks ago, then did the leaf piles afterward.
Would live to hear your feedback on the new echo vs the br800
Why are there a two child seats strapped in the back?
It snowing there yet?
Yes , it snowed already !
Yes sir that would be nice to see...great video 👍
Thanks so much Patrick !
Thank you for everything you do I don't talk to much but y do watch a lot and thank for reply me you put a long lasting smile on me ,God bless you and family. 👍
I got a Echo PB580 and it sucks! Which is unfortunate because it should blow.
Hugh Jafro if a vacuum sucks, it doesn’t suck
If it doesn’t suck, it suck
Does that mean if a blower blows, it doesn’t blow, and if a blower doesn’t blow, that really blows?
That pull starter smells a lot like the flash starters / Fail Starters Polini uses on their 2 strokes. I hope Stihl has done their homework on that "Feature"
We use Redmax Relax at work. Personally I use Echo but that was before I knew any better. Hands down you won't beat the power of Redmax, but will develope back problems.
My opinion comes down to the performance of the operator. Sometimes it's better to use a good machine that is comfortable, and thus able to work longer, than have a bunch of power and kill your body.
Jonathan-david Hammer the echo pb 8010 shits on your redmax
Stan, another great video comparison.
Thank you Don !
Ive been a Stihl fan for a long time but man you have to put the lighter weight Echo up against the Stihl
Sorry after 20 years of using sthil I'm turning back to redmax blowers and shindawa weedeater. Ever since they went to the 4mix systems it has been nothing but issues,yes the valves are adjusted. But they are to hard to start and run rough with no low range.
I have a redmax blower we use that is a 20 year plus old blower and it starts on the first pull every time. We have a shindawa t27 that I have been using for 25 years and it starts on the first pull every time and out performs the sthil today.
I have given sthil chances to properly work under commercial conditions but the last set of units I bought are now failing again. It is not that I don't know anything about the business, I've been in business since 1980, I've used every machine made to come to my decision on residential and commercial properties cutting up to 180acres a week.
I have a heavy heart to turn my back on sthil
Yes want to see the new Echo/ Stihl comparison
I have a 90cc echo that will blow that Stihl off the map! Did you get the smallest ech you could find for comparison?my echo blows small log piles from ten feet,not sticks but small logs.seriously,it does.doesnt just blow the grass off the lawn you can actually dig holes with it no problem.and it's less money.
Echo doesn’t make a 90cc blower it is just under 80cc at 79.9cc. Did you bore yours out? I have the older PB8010T and the Stihl BR800C and the Echo was still more powerful then and even better as the PB9010T.
Agreed that should include price...
