World's Most Powerful Backpack Blower Hits the Sales Floor

Power. Comfort. Durability. Three features that describe ECHO Incorporated’s newest and most powerful backpack blower, the PB-9010. The backpack is a part of the X Series line up that ECHO released this past year. ECHO touts that the PB-9010 has about 18% more power than the next closest competitor, and company leaders call it a blower that is ahead of its time. There are two versions of the latest model, one with a right-side throttle and the other with a left side.

ECHO began manufacturing the backpack blowers in the 70s. They started as garden sprayers, used to disperse pesticides or insecticides. Users started removing the liquid tanks and just using the airstream to blow grass clippings and leaves to speed up clean up jobs. This inspired ECHO to develop the first backpack blower without the tank, and engineers have been improving the model ever since.

The latest model answers the demand for more power. It can move debris through the tough midwest winters, using a two-stroke engine to produce 1,110 CGM of air volume, at 220mph at the nozzle. That is about 48N of blowing performance.

The power does not absorb the comfort, though. The engine fan moves air across the user’s back, letting cooling air flow freely. Plus, the straps are padded to cushion the weight of the machine, so users can carry the blower for four or five hours a day.

The backpacks are reliable as well, using an air filtration system to keep any dirt or debris out of the engine. They are perfect for commercial and private use, and the company offers a two-year commercial warranty or five-year consumer warranty.
