I have the homelite vac attack II from HD. It is Ok, but I was looking for something that could clear my yard faster with much less effort, and I am willing to lose the vac feature...
I bought the Echo pb-251 blower. I have not used it yet. The echo has
25.4 CC engine
Blowes 509 CFM (390 at the nozzle)
145mph
The Homelite has
30CC Engine
Blows 420 (I assume this is at the housing and NOT at the nozzle, although I could not find any further documentatiuon)
200 mph
From what ive been told, the main # to pay attention to is CFM, NOT MPH...So, before I bought, I read online the Echo has 509CFM but when the box came today It says 390 at the nozzle. Is this going to be better than the homelite?? I wanted to get some feed back because I know that once Im put gas in it its harder to return...
