Consider the best commerical warranty. Stihl is one yr vs Echo two yrs, commerical use. My last blower was an Echo backback, The cheap one I bought at Home Depot, That ran for yrs w/o going in for repairs. Personally, I've been wanting to buy the new BR600 since it came out (been using Stihl for 25 yrs) but I am rethinking this because Echo has a BETTER warranty over Stihl and I think their quality is just as good as Stihl's.

I have a Stihl BR600 which has been excellent. But it is only 6 months old...and 4 of those months it sat in the garage waiting for the snow to melt.

yeah like d&j said online consignment store on ebay is your best bet. i suggest the shindaiwa eb630 also. great blowers i have 2 of them.

I have the Tanaka 7800r and it has been a great blower for the past couple of seasons. I have not used many others but I like this one especially for price compared.

Echo PB-755 all the way.... I purchased mine at the beginning of this year and couldnt be happier with it.. This machine will move anything in its way. I used it on a few lawns this spring instead of raking and it saved me tons of time.. The warranty is exceptional and it is one beast of a blower

A to Z: I would return that blower if you still can. For $600 you can get a better Echo or Stihl model.

I have heard really good things about the Husqvarna 50CC one from Lowes that is $299.00
My husband bought a Stihl today, I'll let you know how he likes it!
I also hear that the Echo is awesome.
