Large Capacity Fuel Tank

With a fuel capacity of 62 fl. oz., the Echo PB-580 backpack leaf blower has one of the largest fuel capacities of any of the models we reviewed. You’d think that this added capacity would mean a heavier device overall but, believe it or not, the Echo PB-580 Blower only weighs 22.6 pounds! This means that you can spend more time outside caring for the lawn, shrubbery or flowerbeds you love so much and less time filling up that classic red fuel tank at the gas station (you know the one we’re talking about – the one that usually collects dust in the back of your truck or garage!).

Operator Cooling Feature

Unlike other backpack leaf blowers on the market that feature a simple, padded back pad, the Echo PB-580 Blower has a unique ventilated fan in the back of the device to cool the operator during use. You read that right: your lawn care equipment can actually cool you down when you’re baking away on those steamy summer weekends! By allowing the air to circulate (instead of accumulate), you and the unit stay cooler for longer. This means you run less of a risk of experiencing an over-heated engine and will not need to cut your project short due to mechanical failure! Still unconvinced? Echo offers a 5-year consumer warranty and a 2-year commercial warranty, so your investment will be protected for years to come.

Leaf Guard

Another great feature of the Echo PB-580 backpack leaf blower is its built-in leaf guard. If you’re asking yourself something along the lines of, “Okay, but why should I care?” listen up: leaf guards ensure the longevity of your blower and help protect the engine. By eliminating the likelihood of unwanted leaves or debris getting caught in the engine, you can rest assured that you will also avoid dangerous back-up or engine damage.
