I currently have an Echo PB-265LN leaf blower that I've had for about 8 years. It has run flawlessly but with a big front and back yard and long driveway surrounded by oaks I've finally decided I need a more powerful blower. I've been looking at two blowers - an Echo PB-770H and a Husqvarna 570BTS.
Both machines are pretty comparable with the Echo being slightly less powerful. However, it is also $60 less than the Husqvarna and I don't know if the differences are functionally enough to justify the added cost of the Husqvarna. For example, I haven't been able to find any information on how much of a functional difference there is between 33 and 37 Newtons. I'm partial to the Echo because of the reliability of the blower I have and the 5 year warranty.
Thanks for any advice.
