QUESTION OF THE DAY: What one do you like better? The ECHO Pro Sweep or the ECHO Pro Paddle?
Echo pro paddle
I like the paddle
Been looking at both of these for a while. My primary application will be for dealing with acorns in the late summer/early fall. I got a couple large oak trees and raking the acorns are a wicked pain. Not sure which I'll pick up, but his was the first side-by-side comparison and was very informative. Thanks for the video!
Thanks, I think either one will work well for you. I'm curious which one you're going to choose?
I just moved into a new home with 6 huge oaks that are dropping tons this first winter. Which was the best for you?
Thanks for the comparison, best video for comparing for multiple surfaces
Thanks man, glad to hear it.
I'd get both, but I think the paddle will work much better clearing the wet and heavy Northwest snow.
Good call!
I use the paddle for my business. It is the best in my opinion. As far as the line in the middle I always use it at an angle.NO LINES As far as sweeing I use a split shaft and have it sweep towards me, As I walk backwards. This way when the rocks het thicker Im nit fighting to PUSH them and holding the paddle from digging in, the natural weight of the paddle attachment dies the work. Its?easier on the machine as a whole. The time to sweep takes 1/2 as long and Im 1/2 as tired at the end of the day. I do sweep a lot of gravel off of lawns every spring. Its very lucrative...
I do that once in awhile but will have to pay attention more next time to see it it's easier on my back. Thanks for sharing!
Great real time comparison For my needs pro sweep is better over all but I liked the performance in snow with paddle. I guess I have to buy both. You got to love big boys toys.
They're both nice to have. I probably use the paddle the most.
They both do a great job
Yeah, either one will work well, but I'm leaning toward the Pro Paddle for me.
I have both of these but use the paddle more. Sweeper needs stiffer bristles to work more effectively in my opinion
Both attachments seem handy. Pro paddle would be my first choice
I'm with you on that. Either one works good, but the paddle seems like the winner.
Take both they both looks like there is good as each other
Great Professional Review. I Love New Tools That Really Work. Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video as I was thinking about getting a multi tool and wanting to get an attachment that will work for both snow and lawn. Base on what I can see, looks like the paddle is a more effective tool for both season for me which is a surprise to me because I was thinking about getting the sweep/brush originally.
Glad I could help. Either one will be a handy tool, but I'm thinking you made the best choice.
If I had to have only one, I would choose the PADDLE. Better in snow, and cleans chips/gravel out of grass.
I'd probably stick with the paddle as my first choice too.
Ive got to get both. !!!
Wow! They both seem to work awesome. When I seen them on line to purchase they seemed super small.. but boy was I surprised..
Yes, they are very adequate in size. Any bigger and you would have a backache after using it for a bit.
I never heard of these tools. Could use this for the stones in the grass that wash in.
Yes, 100%. I'll bet a leaf rake takes 5x's longer.
Which one would you recommend for removing pea sized rocks in the lawn? I figured the bristles would get near the soil better to remove the smaller rocks.
Great video, ide go with paddle since we all got a broom already .
Mike Bedell was an animal with that Pro Paddle (clearing snow on the sidewalk) at ECHO Headquarters. Thanks for sharing. Great video! 👍. I really really want to see the 3020 engine on those PAS! 💯
Yeah, that was a fun time! I agree, the 3020 engine is a beast!
I just bought the Yardmax YP7065 and took it out of the box today. I'll try it out tomorrow. My Stihl Kombi Sweeper really digs into the dirt. It buries itself. Haven't tried it on grass but it might dig a whole.
I think the Stihl rubber paddle works well kicking stones out of grass. I have only seen a video of it.
hallelujah thank Christ for make this video now let's hope I can get one in England
I know ECHO sells some of their products in the UK. Good luck to you!
Both
Haha, it's nice having both of them, but the pro paddle seems slightly more popular.
Great video 📹 my opinion both are great
Thanks, I'd be happy with either one, but if I had to choose just one to keep it would be the paddle.
Awesome video! thanks for sharing
You bet!
I’m looking at both attachments. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the sweeper might get down into crevasses a little more thoroughly to remove dirt and debris than the paddle would. So unless you’re moving larger rocks on a consistent basis, I’d think the sweep was a better choice. Your thoughts?
👍Agreed. For a home owner the sweep may clean a driveway or porch nicely with soap and water and do snow too. But I might decide to get the paddle as well to make some cash (and pay for both) clearing snow from downtown sidewalks etc.🤔
I can not choose I really like them both
You can't go wrong either way. I'm leaning toward the paddle, but it's a close call.
Paddle. Great job and video thx!!
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
I have the STIHL equivalent of these 2, KB-KM Bristle Brush and KW-KM Power Sweep, I mainly use the power sweep for non-paved surfaces. The bristle brush I use for driveways, walkways, and sidewalk, I can't really say one is better than another
I probably use the paddle most often, but they both work well.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I think I have as well, it doesn't snow where I live but I have one of each, I recall having only used the bristle brush a couple times, the power sweep (paddle) more than 5 times, I have used the bristle brush at times when I haven't felt like using a blower on my driveway
Team Paddle
Pro paddle for me ...!
Good choice!
Like the snow boots you are wearing. Where did you get them?
Looks like pro paddle was really good.
Yeah, probably the one I would go with first.
Generally like the paddle better, but the brush would do a better job of cleaning out the flotsam that gets stuck between the deck boards. The brush looks a bit lighter also which might make a difference on my old aching back when doing the rock on our 900 foot driveway.
Wow, that's a long driveway. I seen a neighbor kid trying to rake rocks from the lawn with a plastic leaf rake and wasn't nearly effective as the brush broom.
I am looking for a tool to replace manual spring raking. These look like they would do the job. My neighbor was out today,and he let me try his Stihl paddle sweeper,which did a good job on his lawn. Does your pro paddle/pro sweep do a good job for spring lawn cleanup?
I'd say spring cleanups are where these tools really shine. The pro paddle really does a great job of cleaning stones up after the snow plow season. It works well cleaning up what a leaf blower can't do.
わかりやすい動画です!素晴らしい。
I just bought the paddle
Great choice, it's amazing!
WOW ..!!! WOW ..!! I LIKE both i understand the great value of both . nice thank u 4 this . i am over here near DUNKIRK NY ya we get LAKE SNOW lake effect SQUALL. HEAVY LAKE snow from time to time . i am near Lake Erie. about a 20min walk 2 beach . !!!
Yeah, I hear Buffalo gets big snow and by the looks of it, you're probably in that same snow belt.
@@MarkThomasBuilder ya we r in the snow belt .thinking we may get smashed over here this year , plus very cold from differnt weather i hear .
I like the paddle
That seems to be the popular choice.
Which one for general lawn sweep? I have large yard and will use this for spring cleanup of pine needles, pine cones, twigs, and general debris buildup over winter, ect
Probably the pro paddle for general cleanup.
ECHO Pro Paddle.
Good choice!
really good review and video! excellent job - and very helpful! Steven Columbus Michigan
Thanks, I appreciate it.👊
I haven't come across Columbus MI yet, so I looked at a map. I've worked on a home in Yale, which is the closest I've been to that area.
I have the paddle.
I've had the paddle the longest. It's very durable and works well.
Anyone know if either would fit on a battery operated power head such as Milwaukee, Ryobi, Hart, ect? Would like to use on light snow and under stand that the battery units may not be as strong as the gas.
This would be a nice attachment for battery power. I recall each brand has their own quick fit system that isn't universal.
The Paddle
Cool, thanks for voting!
thinking about picking up the pro sweep for sweeping the 3,000 sq foot shop, the push broom gets pretty old fast lol
ECHO makes a eForce 56v power head. It's battery powered and would power the pro sweep.
I think. you should send me both
Haha, tough choice huh?
PRO PADDLE!!!!
Thanks for voting!
@@MarkThomasBuilder We live in Northern NY and our neighbor had the Paddle that cleans all of the dirt and stones from the lawn after the winter. I am also impressed with the Pro Sweep also. It looks like both are winners..... THANKS for the review!!!
Sounds like a nice area you live in. I've traveled by motorcycle (many years ago) through places you're probably familiar with like Lake George and Lake Placid. I'm sure you get decent snowfall in the winter.
Me thinks the Pro Sweep as it may require less effort to push and reaches into more crevices. I would worry that the paddle would maybe throw a few rocks back at me.
Interesting observation. It seems that the paddle is spinning. fast enough to just throw the yard items as soon as the paddle hits it. The items don't get hung up in the paddle to be thrown back at you. At least that's my experience.
I don't know how it does in mud. It may sling that enough to come back at you.
Damm it! Great video but I hate when two options give similar results but look so differently.
So despite your awesome comparisons I’m still undecided.
It’s like my heart wants the brush but my brain is blocking that choice 😂
Yeah, I’m OCD and for some reason this decision is driving me crazy smfh
Yet I have bought houses to flip way back without even looking inside, go figure. I’m I crazy or getting older or something, idk
Ok so back to more indecisive thinking 😂
Haha, you can't go wrong with either one, but I would personally grab the paddle version first.
I have a stihl km131 and use it for contracting.
The paddle sweep looks like it would suit me better as im not sweeping up wet dirt very often. But its a hard one , in contracting they both have a place
Yeah, they're both handy. I'm leaning toward the paddle as my go-to for the projects I have.
Stihl sells similar devices that fit the smaller-diameter Stihl shaft.
How will this paddle broom work for walnuts the size of peaches that are on grass❓ If it would work for walnuts would it damage the grass ❓ would the paddle or broom be better for the aforementioned issue I'm experiencing❓
I can't find that radius cut in the bristles on the model BBA2100 Amazon sells. What model number is that?
What do you think would work better for getting pine needles and pine cones from artificial turf?
That's a good question. I haven't tried anything on artificial turf yet. I'm guess the pro sweep would do the best on that.
Pro paddle
They're both good, but I agree with you on the Pro Paddle.
If I was to only purchase 1 I would get the paddle
That's probably the more popular vote.
Paddle
Will these products work removing mostly sand and some gravel off of my grass? If so which one would work better?
That's a good question. The paddle works well overall, but I'm going to say the sweep might be a better choice for what you described.
How do you get the broom to not bounce
I don't recall mine bouncing, sorry I can't be of help.
How about sweeping up lawn clippings from the sidewalk after you mow and edge?
The pro sweep would work best for that. Normally I use my 770T backpack blower for grass clippings and edging cleanup.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I use a blower too, and then sweep up the pile at the end. I was just wondering how these power brooms work. Sometimes, it's a little breezy with a crosswind making the clippings a little harder to keep under control with a blower. I'm not a professional lawn man or groundskeeper. But, I do take care of three houses with large lawns.
You ever have issues with the powerhead? Just bought 26cc and was having issues on first start. Might be fine now after the initial start but curious
Not really. I always stick with the REC, non-ethanol fuel and ECHO Red Armor oil. I had an issue with an ECHO handheld leaf blower that didn't seem to run very well on some store bought 50:1 mix in a can.
I think I liked the paddle better
Same here, but the sweep still works well.
First, great video. I need to do mid size parking lot sweeps (roughly 20 cars in size). How does the PAS 2620 compare to the 280? is there a difference in power?
I know they both enough power for running the accessories. I believe they discontinued the 280 a couple years ago. My friend, Julio has a video running the Pro Sweep with the 2620 here... ruclips.net/video/YJBPUn2aM6Q/видео.html
Top 🔝
When either wears down, can you replace the brushes/paddles or do you have to toss the whole attachment?
You can get replacement parts. I went to the ECHO website and found them in the technical parts document.
I live near a n
beach. Lots of sand ends up in the gutter and sidewalk. Which wil work better?
I don't have much beach sand to test it on, but my guess is the pro sweep for that.
can you try it on mud residues after heavy flood?
I have an area around my house that has some mud residue. I'll probably use the paddle to get it clean. In. another words, yes, it should work well.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thank you.
How well do you think these handle sweeping mulch? Had 30 trees taken down by a forestry mulcher so I’ve got a lot of mulch I need to move….
This is great for cleaning up the last bit of the pile. For instance, if you have 10 yards delivered and shovel most of it off the ground, this paddle is great for the final cleanup. It gets the pieces in the lawn without ripping it up too much.
I have infill that I need to remove from artificial turf. Will this work to do that?
I hear they use the pro sweep to fluff up newly installed artificial turf, but don't know about removing the infill. It seems like it might.
Has anyone tried using one of these for smaller broke sticks in grass or fields, was curious how it worked getting broke up sticks?
I haven't really used these on small embedded sticks in the grass. I'd probably use my big leaf blower first, ehe ECHO PB8010 and then try the paddle.
Thank you! I have one of them to, but been trying to find another way for those stubborn ones that won’t come up lol!
Loke the snow boots you are wearing. Where did you get them?
Thanks, they're Sorel Caribou Boots. I bought them locally.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Cool thanks!
I do stumps... Need to see it blasting stump chips in a yard
I haven't tried it on that. I used a Kubota front end loader and a hand rake on the last big maple we took down.
Does anyone know? I’ve been trying to find something like this which works like a manual reel mower
I was looking at The Home Depot website and noticed a Sun Joe battery powered reel mower.
paddle
Good call!
I just bought the brush and it kinda sucks. No matter which way you use it, it throws stuff at me. There is no guard.
The pro paddle seems to be the better choice, based on my experience and all the comments.
I can’t vote for one versus another. I vote for both. Does that at lease get me one for free? lol.
Haha, they both do a good job. If I ever have a giveaway contest, you'll get 2 entries.👊
I have the pro sweep but think the pro paddle is a tiny bit better. Oh well
Probably so, but you still have a handy tool.
I never knew... I blame Covid.
🍻🥃
👋🍺
got a friend with the pro sweep, and it dont spin as fast as yours any idea why it spin slow?
I'm not sure. I remember thinking mine spins slower than other videos I've seen. Maybe the camera makes it look faster.
What model engine? Also, what is the fuel type being used? I think both of those factors could influence the speed to a degree?
I'm using the ECHO PAS 2620 Engine. It's 26cc's.
Skip BOTH of these products! INSTEAD BUY THE EGO comes with a guard ( so your NOT breathing Powdered DOG SHIT!)
Oh god! Seriously 2:50-2:58 ?
Measuring the length!
Don't you have your own brain ?
Paddle
Good choice!
I actually just went and bought the Stihl powered and paddle for it today after watching your video. Thanks for the great insight and your videos are some of the best!
