Echo PB-9010T Backpack Blower vs Echo PB-580T Backpack Leaf Blower

The PB-9010T is the stronger blower: 79.9 cc, 1110 CFM, 220 MPH and 48 N of force against 58.2 cc, about 517 CFM, 216 MPH and 22 N. That extra force moves wet leaves and heavy debris in fewer passes, but it weighs around 27 lb dry, burns more fuel and is louder at 80 dB. The PB-580T is lighter at 22.7 lb, quieter at 70 dB, and its 4.8 rating from 1,400 owners backs the common report that it starts easily and does not fatigue you. Buy the 9010T for large lots and storm cleanup; buy the 580T for routine yard work on a normal suburban lot.

• Choose the Echo PB-9010T if you clear big properties, wet leaves or storm debris and want the most blowing force Echo makes.
• Choose the Echo PB-580T if you want a lighter, quieter backpack blower that starts easily and handles normal yard cleanup.
