Echo launched its PB-580 backpack blower, featuring a 58.2 cc professional-grade, two-stroke engine that delivers air volume of 510 cubic feet per minute and air speed of 215 mph. In addition, to keep noise down, the PB-580 was designed with a 70 dBa.
The blower weighs as little as 22.6 pounds in tube throttle configuration and 22.9 pounds in hip throttle configuration.
It features a full padded backrest for upper- and lower-back support. The shoulder straps are user adjustable. It also features a vented back pad that allows air to circulate around the user and a four-point vibration reduction system. The tube-mounted throttle also uses a new grip design that’s easier on user hands during all day use.
