I've tried 3-4 different echos backpacks and while each of them have a few positives, I would easily recommend the Stihl br600 to anyone looking to purchase a new unit!! Cold or hot 1 pull to start & the power is AWESOME!! It's noticeably lighter than any comparable echos and its turtle shell design provides the engine protection from tree branches, dust etc...with the echo, its like you have a 3 hp Briggs strapped to your back. Stihl at least took the initiative to help you protect your investment!! For 5 years I used echo backpack blowers.....then I bought my first Stihl! Won't go back!!
I have only used an echo backpack and it is bulky when clearing out door entrances.
I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ua-cam.com/users/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’d like to echo this dilemma, I stihl don’t know which one to get
That’s Gold!
I really enjoyed your side by side comparison and found it very helpful as I try to made a purchasing decision for next year but I like the baby cooing in the back ground better. Merry Christmas
Drain the tank and carby on both machines. Put in 10oz in both and see which one start first. Then time how long each machine runs on full throttle. That will show which one is better on fuel.
Thank you for the video on echo vs stihl I've been doing landscaping here in Miami Fla for almost 30years here in Miami we use our equipment all year around none stop from our company exp echo blowers run for ever i bought a echo770t and a stihl magnum 600 cause my dealer only had one 770t so I needed two for my company so I got the stihl and guess what the 600 magnum burned out already in 3 years of heavy usage and in those 3 years a lot of issues also valves adjusted 3 times 80 bucks every time and my echo770 is still running only issue in 3years throttle cable broke that is it I still have my first echo blower pb400 and it still runs I only use it for my house it's almost 30 years old great video just wanted to share my exp with echo and stihl.
Did you try the sthil br 430 or the br 450 without the valves of the bigger ones, run straight 2 cycle?
@@snoopfurlow1275 Yes and they were horrible to restart i sold them both and replaced them with echo770 T and haven't looked back.
It cost you $80 to do the valves 😂😂 it’s a $1 part you got scammed
@@victorrippe5845 yes i agree i had the same experience.i will be purchasing the echo soon and keeping the sthil for a spare
@@crankshaft1053 No i didn't get scammed thats what everyone charges in my area Stihl 4mix suck period.
For those who may not know. The 770 is also offered in the H model that has the left hand hip mount throttle control which I prefer more. It should have been mentioned in the throttle test.
Great video and phenomenal editing as always!
very informative presentation. thank you so much Jason.
Side by side testing like moving leaves, sand, other debris would be helpful.
ima get a 770 next fall
to replace my 150 and use it as my back up
still both good blowers hands down on the stihl
the echo is better
Nicely done video Jason. 👍
Echos Have always been a reliable and powerful brand no matter what tool it is. The best part is that they usually start the first or second pull. Several Stihl weedeaters and chainsaws that I have used have great power and performance but only after exhausting myself trying to get them to start. No more Stihl for that reason alone. When I go out to work that is what I want to do, not spend 15 minutes trying to start an engine. Besides the Echo have a 5 year warranty.
Steve I call bullsheeet
Awesome video, Jason!!!
Love your reviews
That intro is like a normal day at work. Classic! 👍
You're the best.
Would like a newton definition/comparison...pro/con review. Thank you.
Echo PB-770 is my baby, I have 4 and 2 other babies named Red Max ezb-8001. But one con not mentioned about Echo is the bottom of air filter housing scraps the left top corner of the fuel tank when not on your back(notice when you set the blower down), it can make a hole in the tank over time. They should put a metal plate on the top of the tank to prolong it.
Thanks for your honest opinions.
Your welcome, thank you for the comment!
Do what I do and get One of each Model. best of both worlds!
Nice video. Tomorrow I have to make one of the biggest decisions of my entire life. I will be purchasing my first backpack blower. My wife and I live on a acre and a quarter property that's surrounded by trees. The big issue is that the property was landscaped to be sort of a demo for the rest of this forest development. That meant lot's of boarders. Short stone walls. Ivy. Evergreen trees. Just lots of stuff that makes it tough to simply blow the leaves into anywhere. Which means I need a leaf blower that can move heavy mounds of leaves. Now I have a Echo PB200 handheld which has served me well for over 10 years. I have no intention of getting rid of it. I like a handheld for maneuverability around and underneath the deck and other tight areas that we have a lot of here. BUT, it's just not enough for moving the HUGE mounds of leaves that fall and have to be pushed to certain spots of the property to get into the woods or, at least, in open areas to be driven over by my mower. I have both a Stihl and Echo dealer within ten minutes of where I live. Both I've done business with before. Both I like. What should I choose? I live in the woods so noise doesn't matter. Throughout the fall all you hear around here is chippers and blowers. In the end I think I'm going with the Stihl. For two reasons. One, my first trimmer was an Echo and had carb issues after about six years. Sure, I could have replaced it for sixty bucks. But, I wanted a straight shaft and the Echo was curved. Why did I buy a curved shaft trimmer? Because I was cheap, young and stupid. So, out of anger, I bought a Stihl and have had it ever since....and I love it. I gave my old Echo to my dad who operates a used small engine business. He replaced the carb and sold it. Yes, it needed a new carb. Just replacing the gaskets and primer bulb did not work. Anywho, the other reason is the adjustable hose which my five foot wife will prefer. Anything to get her to help is much appreciated. Thanks again for the video.
I HEARD A BABY! WAS A BABY AROUND? GOOD VIDEO, BEST WISHES IN 2017. THIS WILL BE MY SECOND YEAR DOING LANDSCAPING. LOVE IT! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I pull out my Black and Decker when I do my lawns!
We became insanely profitable buying *ANYTHING* other than Stihl (dealership parts only). Husqvarna, Echo, all brands allow cheaper online parts ordering (ebay, amazon, etc...) The Stihl equipment just nuked our profit margins with constant 4mix engine valve adjustments and dealer$hip part$ only. $tihl was just too expensive! Went with Husqvarna and Echo, and we seldom go to the repair shop.
Really cool vid ambrose, good ideas
+Kiwitown mowing Thanks man!
I’m convinced the one you use is the best for you.
funniest intro i ever seen! keep up the good works guys!
You should compare the fuel tank runtime, stihl is supposed to be the best on fuel since it's a 4 stroke motor.
Ive got an echo 8010H and I also have an Ego battery backpack blower. At a claimed 600 cfm and 150 mph the Ego has some pretty medicor power and it goes through a 7.5 amp lawnmower battery in roughly 20-25 minutes on high. I work in a few cities here in California that have banned Gas blowers and... I guess thats job security for me this fall when it takes me 4-6 hours to do a single big property leaf clean up on acerage with a battery blower. Ive got extra batteries and can charge while i work at most houses but its still a big hassle compared to just filling up the gas tank and being good to go for roughly an hour and a half with atleast twice the power on demand if you have a big boy like an 8010.
maybe u can do a review on my neighbors from down the street, Shaliqua and Tiwanna...they both blow pretty good
Or Becky and Samantha
Taylor or Ashley
Redmax comment got me rolling!! 😂😂
Thanks for the reply.. Grabb a master chute man.. Also sounds like you mow in the dew. Also spray your deck with pam.
Was looking at a Master Chute....still deciding since they still leave clumps and lines of grass. I bought some of that "deck off" (I think that's what it is called) that prevents stuff from sticking and it just makes more of a mess hah
Echo blower lasts way longer.
MrZACATECANO100 I don’t about that. I have a br 550 bought in 2005 , been using it every year like crazy , and it still runs perfectly !!
Most people don’t do regular proper maintenance and that’s why the opinion is out there about stihl. Specifically adjusting the valves. It’s about 10 minutes once you get the hang of it
check out the br800, easiest valves ever....
Fact....stilh is #1
@@jimyounger9490 I have a BR - 600 that's 11yrs old and it runs like new. Sthil is light and powerful.
Back cooling - Echo all day in the Texas sun.
I own a Echo 770 I am partial to Echo but the just because of the specks the rank in my mind if I were to buy another blower would be 1. Redmax 8500, 2. Echo 770 3. Stihl 600
thanks for the video. What song is in the video?
The Stihl looks like a commercial unit. The echoe looks more like a homeowner unit. Just going Off of the externals only I say the Stihl looks the part and been tried and true. But I have some echoe chainsaws and they are great little saws and deserve to be apart of the conversation
redmax 8000 series best handsdown, tons of power
I like echo better it just feel better in your back and start always first pull
What does anyone know about the new Stihl BR700?
Wow!! The beginning is so cool! How do you do that? Have you heard of fall rivers idea?--Giving away echo product to viewer.
The editing was not that difficult, it was timing the two conversations right. It is a great idea on his part, I hope I win haha j/k
Just got the Stihl. 4 things i noticed. 1. The nozzle is difficult to adjust. Think the collar would be better. Have to have 2 people to hold ea end. 2. it drinks gas. 3. For consumers, only a 1 yr warranty. 2 years if i bought oil. Echo has a 5 year warranty. 4. Noise. Pretty loud. Either one will work for what they are designed to do.
Yes it is
Usually the more power you have the louder it is. Like a 6000hp nitro car is a lot louder than a 140hp four cylinder car.
I’ve got both
I’ll take the Echo.
cfm at the end of the tube needs to be mentioned
Personally I love the 4mix motors with its lower tone and seems to smell less. Valve adjustments are required, but it takes 5 minutes if you know what you’re doing. I can’t imagine paying a dealer to adjust the valves.
Hot day??? 68 degrees? Its freakin 105 right now in texas
Like he said just their opinions my dad likes To echo he says when echo first came out he bought one and it was like love at first sight but I prefer sthil just our opinions
BR-600 because I have a full service Stihl dealer here.
my opinion I put hundreds of hours with both, echo is stronger no question about it lol I don't know know how you would think that. get a huge pile of leaves and see. lol and the handle and the trigger I guess so I never thought about that cause my hands are strong and thick from working with my hands and working out. the 600 is lighter but the weight difference doesn't bother me cause I'm a beast lol. ok I'm done being cocky lol
also the cfm rating on the echo is higher which gives it more blowing power then stihl I had posted a post on my ig the stihl over the course of 1 year had lowered their cfm rating from 718cfm to the 6hundred class cfm look at the old specs
Ya that's strange that Stihl did that. I did hear from my dealer that Stihl s releasing a BR-700
When it comes to blowers Stihl is my personal preference choice.
But depending on what others think, I also think Echo has sweet blowers
I just can't afford a stihl blower which is why once again have to choose echo. I'm going to pick up a 755 this weekend for 429 compared to a 600 dollar stihl. Dont get me wrong though I'd rather have a stihl due to all the dealers around that can fix the product and just a great product where there are hardly any echo dealers close.
Nice video again bro, however you should not fuel any equipment when it's on the lawn.
Is gas not good for the grass? Ha jk we were at our house recording so it's all good.
Lol its all good. I like how you present your videos, excellent work.
Sean Nesbitt bego
bego
stihl br450 has a electric start in handle now that's what I like lol
You can always drill holes on the back of the stihl for vents.
I have echo 770 for 7 years done so much work daily. Still gose like new but needs new throttle wire.. Ive extended blow pipe . Such a difference can even blow against the wind. I do large areas . I will agree that stihl finish there machines better but echo engines are far superior as the shop i got it from had meny brocken 4 mix blowers ( engine blow ups ) were as i will testify echo is hard to kill.
One point of interest is the blow power is almost as much on half throttle but the economy tripples also the economy gets better with age . Go figger.
I think the word you were looking for so many times is “award” not “reward”.
Hahah thanks 😂
Does that little Stihl tool (screwdriver/spark plug T-wrench) store onboard?
Nope
@@briantii That makes me a sad cat. 😿
I run a garden business and we've just had our 4th Stihl BR 600 motor break. Never buying Stihl again.
Ya but lift deck up one pin then run it back over problem solved. I can mow very many yards without throwing a blade of grass and never have to blow... Think of the time that saves.. I can mow 3 more properties now since i dont have to blow
where are u located?
Echo has always been better to me no problems stihl has problems
770!!
i have a bt 500 magnum and it has a good bit of power it will move wet leaves with no problem but i have used red maxs and bar none the best blowers ive used they make the sthel look like a toy they have a tone of power takes me half the time to blow off a yerd with the red max than with the sthel. i dont know what model red max it is a guy i worcked for owen them.
br
that into was so funny hahaha
very detailed good job. have you considered the noise levels are actually the ear protection? try wearing the echo ear muffs while using the stihl blower. you'll see.. =P
+Grass Daddy I tested both blowers our using the same ear protection and I found the Echo a little more quieter.
+Ambro's Landscaping Inc. lol I believe you
I would actually like to keep in contact.
redmax and shindaiwa in my opinion are the best
Wait till they tell you you cannot use gas mowers. That is next battery mowers and blowers. You know its coming so hope your ready for that.
what about the con about the hose is to short
ssssoooooo.....when its close but slightly favors stihl then stihl gets the point BUT when its close and slightly favors echo stihl gets a point...nope no bias there at all
Stihl is number 1 in everything! When in doubt, go with German made!!
Daniel Martin have to agree echo are getting better but not enough for me to invest my company's money into.
If you need power........Husqvarna beats them all.
yeppp
I choose Stihl over all! And no, its not chinese made like lots think, its still made in the US and designed in Germany. Echo was the one made in china.
actually Echo imports the short block from Japan and builds them in Lake Zurich IL
great editing did you use the garbage mat in premier pro
+cason Williams We use Adobe Premier Elements not the Pro. What is the garbage mat?
He was being sourcastic for shitty editing but I think it's good
+She Detector Fan the garbage mat is a tool in Adobe premier pro it splits videos so you can 2 at the same time
Oo sorry
Didn’t factor in maintenance, sticker price or warranty.
Echo all daaaaaay!!
Price on both is $500 i switched from Stihl to Echo i have the PB8010 couldn't be happier
im gowing to get one when im 12
The echo throttle is so annoying, because to turn it on, if you move it too far, the cruise control turns on.
Ok you did say price.
Lol the dealer I used to work at sold echo and stihl and had shelves and shelves of junk back pack blowers, 90% of were echo, yet we sold almost the same amount of backpacks from each brand over the years, I'm not siding just going by what I've seen
I kinda wish that echo would send Mena backpack blower
we have 2 echo pb770h
people complain about noise, people also complain that the area isn't clean, make a decision America, do you want a little bit of noise for 10/20min if that so that you have a clean garden and walkway, or no noise with leaves a shit every where, can't stand people who complain to authorities about workers doing there job causing all this bullshit
Michael Zak they much prefer their pitbulls barking,making a lot of noise and chasing people down the road.
They much prefer pitbulls noisy bark to the stihls.
I've had all 3 echo ,redmax, stihl all 3 have plus and minus echo has more cfm but is heavier then the stihl the stihl is quieter and lighter but has less cfm blow power now redmax ebz8500 more cfm then both blowers but is heavier and has a bigger fuel tank
+Dun Rite Lawn Maintenance Ya exactly, each blower has there pros and cons, just comes down to what works best for you.
Personally both
I use a 600 personally and at work we have 770s plus 9010s
I like echo the best especially there pas weed eaters
Just FYI Stihl is a 4mix(4stroke).That is why you notice more torque
60 , 70 degrees is HOT? LOL
Mike Rue im laughing! It gets over 100 down here in san antonio Texas!😂😉
Celsius
Stihl is turtle shell design, echo is box with places that can get held up in bushes & scrubs blowing beds out. I don't see how trivial things make echo better (example) no tool air filter access, bigger gas tank, more visible tank. As professional grounds maintenance owner those couple things don't make argument. If you grab blower day in day out, especially in leaf cleanups you can't beat Stihl in power to weight ratio.
Echo is better because it has the easy choke
Echo is the most powerful blower
60-70 degrees so its pretty warm. haha 105 and 90 percent humidity in tennessee.
wow...first time ever ANYONE in this industry someone has made the claim the 600 is more powerful then the 770! I'm going to have to respectively disagree with that statement!
Had problems with my Echo. The blower would not continue to run after about 15 minutes. Less than a year old. Returned to the original purchase place and they couldn’t figure out the problem. They would not replace the blower that was obviously defective but sent it back to Echo. After receiving the blower back from Echo it continued to have the same problem. Bogs under acceleration so now I have a Echo 770 anchor. No help from the company or dealer. Never buy another Echo product.
Purchased the Stihl 600 and haven’t looked back. I can understand getting a lemon but the lack of service and replacement by Echo of a less than year old blower stinks.
U used 7 twice when count up echo points
I have always used Echo products and had a few of their blowers. I own and run a full time residential lawn business is Florida. About two years ago I purchased a Magnum Stihl Blower. My local dealer sold me on it being the most powerful back pack blower. Worst decision ever! Its a $500 peice of garbage! The straps cut into my shoulders and the freekin blower might as well be 500lbs. I can never tell how much gas is in the fuel tank and I run out of fuel often. Stupid blower is hard to start even after being warmed up. Sometimes taking 10 plus pulls. Done a tune up and that didn't help. The back padding holds water or sweat which is so cool, not. Filling the gas tank sucks, has to be tilted. Gas cap is hard to get off and sprays pressurized fuel everywhere! I miss my echo blower everyday! I am going to have a party to celebrate the day I can rid myself of this Stihl garbage!
re: how loud the br 600 is...
someone dropped off a BR 600 and I'm looking at vids to get an understanding of how people feel about it.
When I started it up, I thought it was IMPRESSIVELY quiet.
'shows how much I know. - jack schitt. lol.
compared to a lawnmower, 3" trash pump, or wood chipper, this thing is quiet AF.
I've tested my Echo PB-770H against a buddy of mines Stihl BR-600 and my Echo blew the Stihl away like there was no competition at all. In my opinion I think Stihl is more of a homeowner brand because they look cheaply made and actually have homeowner models, where as Echo has all professional no matter what you buy, but like I said this is my opinion.
But can you buy stihl at Home Depot?
+Duane Sachon No, you have to find a dealer but some people don't have the time to do that and that's how Echo is smart they sell in stores too and it's still professional. There is no such thing as box models. They're all the same if you get it at Home Depot or a dealer
+Tim Gring that's true. Didn't think of it that way.
I had echo PB770T and i sold it because it bugs down when i full throttle it, its really powerful but it drink gas :D
Maybe you should try cleaning the carburetor dumbass
