I love mine, and have been using it for over two years about 10 hours a week.:thumbsup: Amsoil 2 cycle oil is what I've been using.

Just curious but what made you buy the Echo? and why the PB500T?

I was think about it and sold my 150bt yesterday and my old dump cart for a total of 290 $ and I wanted a new blower and I didn't wanna spend a bunch till fall as I am trying to save for a 6foot and 4inch trailer by 12-14 feet long since I will be able to drive with my truck next year and I didn't want the Stihl br200 no power there and the echo has more power then the 150bt so I bout this and during the fall I plan to buy a 770 as it is the second strongest to the redmax 8500.

If this makes any sences to you also I am going to purchase and 42inch riding mower this year and next year plan to get a scag or exmark floating deck walkbehind

:thumbsup:

You say you didn't want the Stihl BR 200 because of the power level. I hope you realize what you purchased and how much power the PB 500T has along with the 700 you want to purchase. Granted the 500 is a strong blower than the BR 200 but not buy much. You really have too watch Echo and some of the others because there's a lot of misleading going on with those guys.

I bought mine for about $340.00 or so (thanks, WA state sales tax of 8.3%) from the local Home Depot. It has been very easy to start in all temperatures (3 squirts of primer bulb, one pull with choke on, it will usually cough, second pull starts and immediately go to zero choke). As far as a portable hurricane, it does everything I need it to do, and has been utterly reliable.:thumbsup:
