Model # CPLB-58V2AH

I've been on a hunt lately for a cordless blower to help clear off the leaves and grass clippings from my driveway and sidewalks for the 2018 year. 

I'm sick of using gas blowers due to the maintenance, trouble staring, smell, noise and gas storage. No way was I going to go the corded rout, so my only other option was battery powered, but with so many to choose from, I really did not know which brand to go with.

I took a ride up to the local Home Depot, and started playing around with some of
the display models which included Milwaukee, Ryobi, DEWALT, EGO and a few others, but the ECHO 58-volt was catching my eye.

After I seen it out of the corner of my eye, I was drawn to it. It's sleek, powerful design

just screamed (TRY ME!) I went over and

picked it up and noticed it had a 2.0 battery

that still carried a charge. I figured it would be like the other battery powered blowers that I tried before finding this, but I was WRONG!

As soon as I pulled the trigger, the blower kicked into high gear. It actually blew the fancy background display over, and I heard a lady scream "what is that?" In the isle

over. I turned it off as quickly as I could, but I felt like Ralphy after he seen the Red Ryder BB gun in the window. I just kept turning it on and off in amazement. I could not believe how powerful the blower Was!

Not only would this monster work perfectly around the house, but it is pro grade. At 140mph, and 550cfm, you could do some serious leaf blowing. Even heavy wet leave would not stand up to this beast, and that is impressive to say the least.

As for the built, it's a solid unit and looks tough to boot. It felt great in the hands, and was balanced perfectly. The trigger is also placed in a very easy to reach location, and will even lock in so you don't have to

constantly hold it in. The blower also has a variable speed option, and a turbo button that adds a crazy (28%) more power if needed......doubt you will need it.

Another cool feature is the integrated scraper on the tip of the blower tube, and a brushless motor. 

Now with all that said, I could not find a single thing about this blower that I did not like. Everything I ever wanted in a blower was sitting right in front of me, but unfortunately, it was just out of my league. 

For the size yard I have, it was just to much bad add for me to handle, so I left this beautiful ECHO blower where I found it and went with something a bit smaller. One of these days though, maybe I will get my Red Ryder aka... ECHO 58v Brushless Blower.

Included: 2.0 58v battery and charger.
