I definitely love having an 80cc blower, the price can be disheartening , however no matter how big or small your operation is, I still find it a very important part of my arsenal of tools to " make life easier "
Probably fun to use in the heavy leaves but to be honest it's also great to have the older model blowers with you as well for the landscape beds. If you point the tip of an echo 9010 at mulch then you know what I mean
I just tried the new EBZ 9000 today November 9, 2024. The neighbors next to an account I have let me try it out at my job. It does have a lot of power. From about 1/8 to 1/4 the engine rpms surge when you hold the throttle steady in that throttle range. This model has the throttle on the tube. When you push on the accordian part of the tube with your finger it stays dented in. Also I noticed more vibration at full rpm than on the Husky BTS 580 mark 2, same as Red Max 8500 basically. And more vibration than the Echo blowers. You are spot on with your evaluation. I think they need a bit of fine tuning. Like when Echo went from the 8010 to the 9010.
Warning: Because of that flimsy tube elbow, Redmax will definitely be doing a recall and after a couple of years, and will pull this thing off the market. Looks exactly like the elbows Echo used on the Echo 8010 a few years back. When it folds up like that, it causes the motor to work too hard and soon, engine problems will develop. The CFM it was designed for is trapped in the elbow and not actually coming out the tube. Echo recognized this after two years of warranty issues. They discontinued the 8010 and replaced it with the 9010 with a thicker/stiffer elbow. Echo 9010 REMAINS the most powerful blower in the blower market....one man's opinion
Echo 8010 had same issue with flexi part of tube was fixed for the 8010 part 2 and wasn’t an issue for the 9010 yes redmax will be the new king but if already running 9010 no point in switching for 100 cfm
Guess we gotta wait til the fall to see comparison videos with the 9010 and br800. The tube on this looks better than the 9010 maybe, 9010 is heavy and cumbersome compared to the br800.
Br800 for the win. The 800 is just way more comfortable on the back and the tube is way easier to throw. That little bit of power isn’t worth the cons the 9010 & 9000 have. When you have machines to move heavy debris when it builds up the extra power isn’t necessary
I would say it's going to be powerful enough for your fall leaf clean-up. Why they made that Flex Tube like that is a good Question. Myself Stihl is the 1 I have a Hand Held Small 1. Try is out and we may be able to make a determination on the Best. Take Care of your Back my Friend and stay in Touch. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
I bought one i run myself and two men, usually. It is a leaf season blower period is it worth it beyond worth every penny even if it was 1k it's worth it compared to the stihl 800 and echo just simply is not commercial grade. Thats my review
New is not always better , what is that metal tapping noise ? Sounds like you're tapping a metal pan with a hammer , that tube is a joke ! Have you tried a tube from your 8560 on it ? $800. ! I don't think so , i can pick up a 8560 for $549. 👍 keep that 9000 garbage
That “metal tapping” noise is the sound of the engine exhaust 🤣 it’s a bigger 80CC engine. And the flex tube yeah that issue needs to be fixed but it’s lighter than the 9010 tube

the strongest blower war will never end
i still LOVE my 8500. ultra reliable. simple. POWERFUL.
i use my little wonder for serious leave moving
awesome greetings from new jersey
I’m happy with my Echo PB 9010.
My manual says to only pump the primer until you start to see fuel in the bulb.

Good luck with the new blower 🇨🇮
it is a new model im sure they will do a recall for it just like the echo 8010

I own an 8010, 8560, BR800X and have had a 9000 for about 2 months. It blows them all away, especially the 800.

@@M.TTT. It was for me anyway.

@@RebuildableRyan yeah the 9010 tube is way less agile for sure
Make your own tube
Wear some hearing protection, unless you're trying to hear less nagging from the wife! LOL

Thanks Ron my backs doing a little better. I have a handheld stihl also customer gave it to me before he moved

Thanks! So far we like it and I agree
Echo is beyond commercial grade get out of here 🤣
@Born2doom then why does home depot sell it? Before they were the only ones who sold it
@@elliottmann1838 contracts$ but I believe Echo is pulling out of a lot of Home Depot’s. But they’ve come along way. I use all brands lol
@@elliottmann1838 there are hundreds of independent ECHO dealers. They have been around for 75 years and every engine they make is commercial grade

The only good thing about the 9000 is it's looks & bigger tank.
It's well worth the $800 and the only reason you can get an 8650 for that is cause they haven't built one since inflation
Can't stand the sound
Agreed
