The Dolmar 4 stroke handheld seem to be a good product. And is quiet compared to 2 stroke blowers. 50 hour oil changes, 200 hour valve adjustments. uses 2.7 ounces of 10w30 oil in the crankcase, and just use straight gas.
Hi. Have you thought about buying a blower/shredder/vac instead of just a straight blower? The Echo ES-250 is a nice unit and along with being a handheld blower it also converts into a shredder vac. The vac is handy for detail work such as shrub beds, ground cover, building corners, windows wells, picking up hedge clippings etc. It's a little bit less powerful than the Husqvarna 125BVX but for about the same price ($20 more based on retail prices online) you get the extra versatility of the vac. I have an older unit and the only problem I've had with is it that I now have to mash the on/off switch up hard to start it. Well, the bag was defective and split wide open on it's first use, but that was covered under warranty and the replacement has never had a problem. http://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Shred-N-Vacs/ES-250I am in the market for a new gas handheld leaf blower and I just wanted to see what everyone recommended. I really like the Husqvarna 125BXV. I have also heard Stihl brand is about as good as it gets. What do you guys think?

Yes, most Dolmar dealers post this so that folks have at least heard of the brand "Dolmar"
