i have an irrelevant question for upcoming snow season, if you have time..which snowblowers have no soft metal in the worm gear? im looking for something durable.. no brass ect , i tried looking but its near impossible when they dont list the composition of metals :/
Great review. I own the Shindaiwa EB910 (Same as the Echo 9010) and Stihl BR800x. Both are excellent blowers. The Shindaiwa is phenomenal for fall clean ups or when moving heavy debris. It's air volume and power is reminiscent of the small 5 hp walk behind blowers from the 1990s. That's it's niche. However for everyday mow and blow jobs, I found it's way too much. It tends to blow debris up into the air and then back down behind you requiring you to go back and reblow again at times. It's also heavy, noisy, and consumes fuel. You get used to the weight but I've had many compliants from neighbours of customers and the fuel compensation is high. This is where the Stihl BR800x comes in. It's lighter, more fuel efficient, and quieter. It's not as powerful but because it's air stream is more focused than the 9010, it actually doesn't blow debris up and around like the 9010 does. It's also great where you need a focused air stream such as when lifting grass during spring clean ups or blowing snow. During fall clean ups, it does a good job but no where near the 9010's ability. I've had zero issues with both blowers. I've had the Stihl for 5 years and the Shindaiwa for 3 years. Overall, I'd recommend the 9010 for fall clean ups and the BR800x for pretty much everything else. The new Redmax EBZ9000 seems to have slightly elevated the top performer. I wouldn't be surprised to see both Stihl and Echo come out with something that surpasses the new Redmax pretty soon.
@@shangrilaladeda Noise complaints. The Shindaiwa/Echo is a great blower but it is loud. Several neighbours of my customers have complained about the noise, especially during fall clean ups when the blower runs longer.
@@GarageGear My nephew's birthday party this afternoon, taking my father-in-law out to dinner for his birthday tonight, and then softball finals tomorrow.
Another banger of a video JB. I agree with everything you said. I sold a 79cc Shindaiwa EB802 and replaced it with thebEcho PB-9010 AND a PB-2520 handheld blower...best move ever...an 80cc backpack blower is way too much weight and bulk on and off your back for small jobs like grass clippings or a few leaves from a small tree on your driveway/patio - enter the handheld blower...TBH I would have bought the Shindaiwa version of the 9010 because it has everything the Echo has including the 2yr/5yr warranty and 1110cfm/220mph but my research shows it comes with a hip strap to help better disperse the weight...my dealer had the Echo so i went with that...would like to hear feedback regarding the Shindaiwa straps...(I believe both are available online with Home Depot in the States)...i actually don't prime any of my Echo equipment cold or warm start in the Spring/Summer/Fall...two pulls is usually enough to draw fuel through the system...how frustrating it must have been outbof the box! Flooded possibly? Give me a call when youbwant to blast some leaves together!
Hey Kirk! Appreciate the info on the straps and priming! I followed the starting directions exactly and it just took forever to get fuel in the system. Now it starts first or second pull! 🤷♂️ we could definitely blast some leaves together! 👍 keep on ROCKIN my friend!
Redmax just came out with a new blower that has slightly higher cfm numbers but comes in at approximately $150 more. This was Redmax’s attempt to compete with Echo. I have the Echo PB9010T that I use with my business, and it’s a beast.
@@GarageGear Trust me, the RM9000 is the top dog. I own a lot of different top tier BP's and the new 9000 is much nicer in so many ways than the 9010. The tube is much more massive in size, yet much lighter and easier to swing on the 9000. It is not just a little step up, it is noticeable - 1110 cfm vs 1245. 48N vs 56N. Run them in some very deep leaves and you will see rather quickly. I've had my 9000 for 3 1/2 months and have used it quite a bit already. Echo is going to have to remove that statement from their site because it is now false advertising.
Went to my local dealer and tried on 3 blowers a week ago, Stihl BR-800x, Echo PB-9010t and a Red Max EBZ8560 and found that the Echo was just too heavy and the Red Max didn't feel good on my back. The sales person was pushing the Red Max so that was funny. After trying them all on several times I choose the BR-800x & then went home and gave it a spin and I have no regrets at all. Everyone tries to steer you away from the Stihl because the valves need to be adjusted but that is ridiculous and it is so easy my wife could do it. The Stihl is quiet it idles down and still twist my body at full throttle plus I was amazed that 912 CFM it could move my very old grass compost pile of grass tree limbs etc...... Take care of your machines and they will take care of you!!!! If I were young and dumb I would choose the bigger machines because I could of handled it 40 years ago but I am wiser and smarter now and know better. LOL ( AND THERE'S YOUR DINNER )
I just bought a 9010h from Agnew Farm equipment, Youngstown, Ohio 9 28 24 during the Echo one day sales event 15 percent off . I got the last one and I am glad I got it for this fall season. Can't wait to see how it works out on snow 😅
Brother you never did the winter test for your Michelins ltx. How have they held up? That was a great video an update would be awesome. If you have bought some new tires since then let’s hear about them. You rock 👍
Hey Wayne! Busy schedule here! Still have the tires with about 35k on them. Handling great. Tread has about 1/3 left. These were good in the snow earlier in their life. We’ll see how they do this winter but I have winter tires in stand by. Still a super smooth ride and getting good gas mileage with them
I followed your assembly and it helped 100%,,, out of the box 3 pulls on the recoil... it is a beast.... love it . great video.... great job ...thanks..
Thank you!! Agree, I run ECHO, no issues, great results an solid equipment! 9010 is a favorite! Beast mode an love the sound ! ❤ no starting issues. Be safe out there. 💪
I had a 755 and it started with 2 pulls, I also used it to clean snow off the driveway and sidewalk . I miss that thing and may get another one even though my yard is only 1/4 acre now. I now have a stihl bg 86 handheld and it does ok on grass clippings and blowing out garage but that is it.
It’s the best backpack blower out there . Yes it’s a bit heavy and likes gas , but if you have a big job , there is nothing like it . I’ve had mine for 2 years , it’s an absolute beast !
Great leaf blower JB. I have the Husqvarna 580BFS. I wonder how it compares to that one. Have a blessed weekend together with family 🙏👍🙏👍and many blessings
Best assembly instructions on the web! Thanks for the quick start and the review that convinced me to take one home. Impressive beast of a leaf blower, and Echo reliability for the win. 🏆
Echo is a great backpack blower! Best I've used for fall cleanups. However, I see Redmax just upped the ante by introducing EBZ9000. 216mph, 1245cfm. Specs are close, but more than the Echo. Will be interesting to see some comparisons.
It actually doesn’t blow air in your back but it pulls air from around your back. Your back is the inlet to the pump so leave the disk off for better blowing performance. Throw it in the recycle big lol
I'm in my 70's and slipped on some mud with this on my back. Now I know what a turtle feels like when they flip over. Great leaf blower. I've got it four years now zero problems.
Too late, I bought one of these a couple years ago. So far it's been trouble free but as a non commercial user I've only put about 50 hours on it so far. It really does a great job getting all that crap like the acorns maple seedlings and sticks that are deep in the grass out of the lawn. It turned my weekly leaf cleanup from a 4-6 hour nightmare with a handheld POS into an hour or so job. It's not overkill for a homeowner like myself $650 is very cheap to get your Sundays back!
I remember years ago Kawasaki had a experimental blower with a 125CC machine. The blower tube was 6 inch diameter. That would eat the ECHOs breakfast. But the weight was a lot more. Was told this was an experimental machine. Shame I do not have it. My neighbor ran straight gas in the machine. A total weld job for sure. .
I never thought Echo would make something I didn't want. That thing is a back mounted fighter jet. I wish they made this thing 40 years ago when I was younger and using the cutting edge technology we called a leaf rake. Enjoy all your reviews, keep em coming and thanks for sharing.
@@GarageGear Always a learning experience watching your vids. There's an awesome young kid with a RUclips lawncare channel called "Rake It Til We Make It" that sure could use a bump of encouragement from related, established channels if ya have a chance. I'd bet money he'll impress the heck outta ya and other lawncare channels too.
Honestly not crazy about chugging along a 30lb backpack even in my younger days never cared for them specially if you have to pick something up they’re very awkward I’ll stick to my echo X series 10 lb hand held blower after all I only have 2 palm trees in NC 😂 left all those trees and acorns back in Suffolk county Long Island. Great instructional vid thx for sharing 👍
What happened to the anti-static wire, you mentioned it in detail from 45sec-2:20min in video then never saw or mentioned what happened with it as far as termination in the hose, etc in the rest of video.
I use mine in the spring time after plowing snow all winter a lot of my gravel get pushed to the side of my driveway and I blow the gravel back onto the driveway with it
Probably not. I like it but it’s just too big and too heavy. Won’t fit on my storage shelf like my 770. The 770 is perfect for my lawn. Probably selling it soon
I went with the Stihl BR-800 and while it’s not quite as powerful I feel about the same way you do. I went it as I prefer the 4 mix “low pitched” engine sound. It’s still stupid powerful and way more comfortable than a handheld and the side start is neat. I went from 45 minutes to do fall leaves with my handheld bg86 to about 15 with the 800. Totally worth it. Congratulations on your purchase!
From my experiences JB, the tube slides into the hole much easier if you compliment it and buy it dinner first....... 😛🤣 That 9010 is a friggin monster. Great vid!
That’s one heck of a blower! It probably could knock you backwards. I’d love to see how much snow it would move JB! That’s definitely a beast! Great video as always JB! Still have the pool open? Enjoy the weekend my friend! GO BILLS!
Hey Jay! You know it! Heavy as sin too lol! It would give the ariens a run for his money lol! Pool is getting closed up tomorrow unfortunately. You shutting down any of your grills for the winter? Enjoy the weekend
Good video JB! That air filter is HUGE. We have the PB580T, and just picked up a PB755ST new in box at Home Depot for $350, customer ordered it and never picked it up. Figured it was a good deal, especially since we can't buy them next year. So my fiance has his Christmas present already 😊. Can't wait for the snowblower video!!!
It’s a great blower! But, it’s a bit heavy. Businesses love it. But, I doubt they use it everyday. Little too heavy. Little cumbersome. I hate to sound bias. But, probably the best all around value is the PB-770H/T. Which I have a lot of leaves to deal with Tomorrow. I am a person who loves echo blowers. But, everything else is Stihl. I know weird.
If it doesn't start and you keep priming it, you're just flooding out the carburetor. In that case, all you have to do is turn the choke off, and it will start. I know. I have one. I haven't had those starting issues so far except for the first time when I hadn't figured it out yet. I did the same thing with my Echo Chainsaw - user error. Who reads manuals? LOL
The EBZ9000 has 1245 cfm but I still will take the Echo over it because the blower is $800 vs $649 for the Echo. Also Husqvarna has a bad track record recently for reliability with new products but the Echo blowers will last and last.
@@jodyjo_gd3 this is absolutely true and it really makes me wonder how well those new redmax's and husqvarna's will sell given the very premium price. Also I know what you mean with husqvarna, I've been hearing alot of longevity problems with the 500 series saws and even defects with certain 300 saws. I've also heard that the still pretty new 8560 and their orange counterpart seem to literally grenade after so many hours likely dew to just how hard they're making the same motor that was in the original 8500 work to achieve the specs in the 8560. That's why I'm going to hold off for the first year before buying one of these new 9000. Because we all know the trials and tribulations of the 8010 and 9010 when in their first year.
Good work caveman 💪💪 I just found your channel and this was the first video I saw. I'm also from WNY I'm out in Hamburg the guy I work for goes to dills on southwestern
The oil you use was good info but I was puzzled you didn't also mention the importance of ethanol free gas. I get mine from a gas station that has a dedicated pump. The pumps where you select the grade and the ethanol free is dispensed through the same hose as regular gas can have ethanol in the hose from the previous person. That needs to be flushed into the vehicle first before filling the gas can for the small engines. I have the PB-9010T and it started 2nd or 3rd pull the very first time when new, with ethanol free gas. None of my small engines have problems starting, even after sitting for many months, all using ethanol free gas.
@@GarageGear i guess it's already out now that I looked again, it was a few months ago when I heard about it.I've just been busy , mowing and blowing! it's the 7910t has the same engine smaller fan and new step feature yet it's much lighter , i'm getting older and feel it after using a backpack blower all day! The a little bit lighter, one with almost the same power.It's going to be a game changer for me.At 40 newton's

I own one. There is a lot of room for improvement for the near future replacement of the 9010. Quality, reliability, and durability.
@@Hemispherical392 seen a lot of issues with yours?
I remember years ago Kawasaki had a experimental blower with a 125CC machine. The blower tube was 6 inch diameter. That would eat the ECHOs breakfast. But the weight was a lot more. Was told this was an experimental machine. Shame I do not have it. My neighbor ran straight gas in the machine. A total weld job for sure. .
@@victoryfirst2878 wow! Thanks for sharing victory! 👍
BTW I never put the static line in and never had a problem.....js
Thanks for sharing. Do you just let it hang?
@GarageGear i didn't know what it was, so I just tied it off ha , i planned on figuring it out later, but I got busy all summer, so just remembered!
I never thought Echo would make something I didn't want. That thing is a back mounted fighter jet. I wish they made this thing 40 years ago when I was younger and using the cutting edge technology we called a leaf rake.
Enjoy all your reviews, keep em coming and thanks for sharing.
Hey Gerald it’s definitely a big backpack blower. Appreciate you! Thanks for watching
@@GarageGear
Always a learning experience watching your vids.
There's an awesome young kid with a RUclips lawncare channel called "Rake It Til We Make It" that sure could use a bump of encouragement from related, established channels if ya have a chance. I'd bet money he'll impress the heck outta ya and other lawncare channels too.
@@geraldroberts4721 awesome I will check him out! Thanks for sharing gerald
Honestly not crazy about chugging along a 30lb backpack even in my younger days never cared for them specially if you have to pick something up they’re very awkward I’ll stick to my echo X series 10 lb hand held blower after all I only have 2 palm trees in NC 😂 left all those trees and acorns back in Suffolk county Long Island. Great instructional vid thx for sharing 👍
Same here pit! That blower is heavy. My 770 is a little lighter and easier to carry around
The ebz9000rh and the 9010t worn at the same time is the ultimate blower power you can have
@@shangrilaladeda I agree
@@GarageGear 💯
Are the Bad Boys leaf blowers or weed trimmers any good?
I have heard they make good equipment. Perhaps I’ll give them a whirl!
I bought this one last year for $500 and it is a great backpack blower. Well worth the price even when it's not on sale.
Dang, how’d you score a new one at that price? I bought mine new for $649.99 before tax. With tax it was $689.
How’d you get a discount random?
LOVE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Krumholt thanks for sharing krum
Este blower está chingón poderosos yo quiero uno de esos
@@germansolis4641 can you translate this in English please
Thank you Jb. For all you do. Your a great person !
Appreciate you justin! Thanks for being a cool fan!
What happened to the anti-static wire, you mentioned it in detail from 45sec-2:20min in video then never saw or mentioned what happened with it as far as termination in the hose, etc in the rest of video.
@@Run426mi hey run! The anti static wire just sits inside the tube. It doesn’t connect to anything. It just whips around inside.
It should be a hurricane test blower on a doll house.
@@JohnSoldano haha that would be funny!
I love overkill!
@@kevinknotts6337 some people like it👍
The 9010t by the way has similar performance to the ebz 8560. They recently launched the Redmax ebz 9000 and it is now the most powerful blower.
Thanks for sharing dawn
The redmax ebz 9000, the pb 9010t, and the ebz 8560 are the 3 most powerful backpack blowers currently on the market.
I use mine in the spring time after plowing snow all winter a lot of my gravel get pushed to the side of my driveway and I blow the gravel back onto the driveway with it
Good way to put it to use! 👍
Full tank on these last about 1hr 15 min.
@@filoIII thanks for sharing
What does this thing sell for and where can you purchase one who sells them?Please comment back thank you
@@martinneps9387 here is a link to one on Amazon amzn.to/3XKCav5 local dealers have them too
Oh yeah buddy first comment 🎉🎉🎉. Thats one hella blower 😂😂. Did you figure out why it was so hard to get started on the first start up?
ROCK ON GARY! Sure is! Not sure why exactly. Must have just had trouble getting fuel through the carb. Now it starts on the first pull everytime!
I noticed you didn't oil the foam pre filter ?
@@richardkenworthy9312 the owners manual says nothing about this.
and also, the redmax EBZ 9,000 has set the record for most volume!
Yes I saw that but echo still holds the claim on their website lol
They are like cars in the 50s and 60s, they get bigger every year
@@theien5929 pretty much! Lol
How much is it
@@brianwheeler1828 $649
Yeah you sure did look like a Ghostbuster well I didn't think that thing would be that powerful to blow a brick around awesome video thank you
@@liljoeii6091 pretty remarkable machine Joe! Thanks for watching
Redmax just put echo on notice and became the most powerful backpack blower in the history of mankind
@@Provenblueprint they sure did! Thanks for watching
Other garage projects??? Ya right… like what?? 🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂
Like painting a snowblower?!?!!! Just a thought lol!
Hey JB - Nice video. Thumbs up from Iowa. Peace
Appreciate you Chuck! Whatcha got going on this weekend?
@@GarageGear just yardwork!!
@@ChuckP25. did you get it all done ?
is that thing going in the "keep pile"??????
Probably not. I like it but it’s just too big and too heavy. Won’t fit on my storage shelf like my 770. The 770 is perfect for my lawn. Probably selling it soon
@@GarageGear dang!
@@GarageGear could you try to review a STIHL BR600? (i just bought on and i love it!)
@@OutdoorswithJRonnie I’ll see what I can do.
@@OutdoorswithJRonnie I’ll see what I can do
I went with the Stihl BR-800 and while it’s not quite as powerful I feel about the same way you do. I went it as I prefer the 4 mix “low pitched” engine sound. It’s still stupid powerful and way more comfortable than a handheld and the side start is neat. I went from 45 minutes to do fall leaves with my handheld bg86 to about 15 with the 800. Totally worth it. Congratulations on your purchase!
@@briantii that side start is a super nice feature! Thanks Brian!
Good lord JB, its a smart car.
@@tomconnors6310 yeah on your back lol
I think the echo pb 9010 has the same amount of power as the redmax EBZ 9000.

Hey josh! We’ll see about those down the road
You finally did it!!! Enjoy the 9010!
@@Born2doom thanks born2doom! Thanks for watching
From my experiences JB, the tube slides into the hole much easier if you compliment it and buy it dinner first....... 😛🤣
That 9010 is a friggin monster. Great vid!
@@paulmysliborski4832 hahahaha a lot of truth there lol! Lubing with wd40 only goes so far lol! Thanks for watching bud! Enjoy your weekend
That’s one heck of a blower! It probably could knock you backwards. I’d love to see how much snow it would move JB! That’s definitely a beast! Great video as always JB! Still have the pool open? Enjoy the weekend my friend! GO BILLS!
Hey Jay! You know it! Heavy as sin too lol! It would give the ariens a run for his money lol! Pool is getting closed up tomorrow unfortunately. You shutting down any of your grills for the winter? Enjoy the weekend
Nope! Those cookers run all year my friend! Cheers buddy!

Can you do a row
Review on a STIHL
@@amyt8765 we will see! Which model?
Good video JB! That air filter is HUGE. We have the PB580T, and just picked up a PB755ST new in box at Home Depot for $350, customer ordered it and never picked it up. Figured it was a good deal, especially since we can't buy them next year. So my fiance has his Christmas present already 😊. Can't wait for the snowblower video!!!
Hey Angelica definitely a massive air filter! Good deal you got there! Im sure he’s gonna love it! 👍 thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend
It’s a great blower! But, it’s a bit heavy. Businesses love it. But, I doubt they use it everyday. Little too heavy. Little cumbersome. I hate to sound bias. But, probably the best all around value is the PB-770H/T. Which I have a lot of leaves to deal with Tomorrow. I am a person who loves echo blowers. But, everything else is Stihl. I know weird.
@@johncombs6543 I agree with you John! The 770 is very well rounded!
Where’s the 30 inch mower?
@@danyeo sold it 2 years ago. Glad it’s gone.
Actually the Redmax EBZ9000 is the most powerful back pack blower at 1245 CFM.
@@ericswanson2383 thanks for sharing
If it doesn't start and you keep priming it, you're just flooding out the carburetor. In that case, all you have to do is turn the choke off, and it will start. I know. I have one. I haven't had those starting issues so far except for the first time when I hadn't figured it out yet. I did the same thing with my Echo Chainsaw - user error. Who reads manuals? LOL
@@benchambliss6791 thanks for sharing
0:01 redmax would beg to differ
Hahah those are good blowers
I have a older redmax slightly modified before they sold out to Husqvarna, mine came with different size nozzles. But this echo is no joke for sure
The EBZ9000 has 1245 cfm but I still will take the Echo over it because the blower is $800 vs $649 for the Echo. Also Husqvarna has a bad track record recently for reliability with new products but the Echo blowers will last and last.
@@jodyjo_gd3 this is absolutely true and it really makes me wonder how well those new redmax's and husqvarna's will sell given the very premium price. Also I know what you mean with husqvarna, I've been hearing alot of longevity problems with the 500 series saws and even defects with certain 300 saws. I've also heard that the still pretty new 8560 and their orange counterpart seem to literally grenade after so many hours likely dew to just how hard they're making the same motor that was in the original 8500 work to achieve the specs in the 8560. That's why I'm going to hold off for the first year before buying one of these new 9000. Because we all know the trials and tribulations of the 8010 and 9010 when in their first year.
@@jodyjo_gd3 couldn’t agree with you more. Parts from Husky are also very expensive. The Echo 9010 has enough power and is a lot cheaper
little overkill for a homeowner lol
@@jp-us9rq that’s a big blower lol

@@harryerhart5978 GO BILLS!
The oil you use was good info but I was puzzled you didn't also mention the importance of ethanol free gas. I get mine from a gas station that has a dedicated pump. The pumps where you select the grade and the ethanol free is dispensed through the same hose as regular gas can have ethanol in the hose from the previous person. That needs to be flushed into the vehicle first before filling the gas can for the small engines. I have the PB-9010T and it started 2nd or 3rd pull the very first time when new, with ethanol free gas. None of my small engines have problems starting, even after sitting for many months, all using ethanol free gas.
@@MrRUser thanks for sharing RU
I'm getting the newer one that's lighter, there's no reviews of it, almost the same power yet lighter then 9010 ! Can you make a video?
Which model is it exactly?
@@GarageGear i guess it's already out now that I looked again, it was a few months ago when I heard about it.I've just been busy , mowing and blowing! it's the 7910t has the same engine smaller fan and new step feature yet it's much lighter , i'm getting older and feel it after using a backpack blower all day! The a little bit lighter, one with almost the same power.It's going to be a game changer for me.At 40 newton's
Its no longer the baddest beast on the planet . The Redmax EBZ9000 has surpassed it.
@@maggarlion yep you are correct. Echo has to take that off their website
