Husqvarna 150BT or Echo PB413HT

That is my choices of backpack blowers. Both within my budget. What do you think?

Well, the Husky is 50 cc, puts out 493 cfm and 173 mph with a 2 year warranty. The Echo is 63 cc, 625 cfm and 205 mph with a five year warranty (if I have all those number right!).

The Echo wins there.

I've had an echo for about three years and the only problem I had was that the stop switch stopped working (kinda funny, eh?). Took it back to where I bought it and they fixed it in 1/2 hour. Absolutely no complaints with this product.

BTW, thanks for the bug on my screen...now I have fingerprints all over it.

Thanks for the input scuvnut. I was leaning hard in the direction of the echo. Just wanted to see what the TBN community thought. Picked up the 413ht this weekend. It works well!

I often wonder how many people try to squish the little guy.
