Questions & Answers

Does the vacuum bag disconnect easily from the vacuum tube to make it easier to empty leaves from...
Asked by Gatman December 2, 201710
AnswersBag is connected with a collapsing nozzle that is held in place by Velcro. Easy on easy off. The bag gets heavy as it fills up. The shoulder harness doesn’t come with any padding. I bought a pad for a computer bag and it helped.
Dose the pipes and bags come with unit or a separate purchase?
Asked by Jtjson January 10, 201910
AnswersIt's all in the same box.
Can you pick up grass clippings with this vacuum?
Asked by Edmanuel May 25, 201810
AnswersYes, but it would be very inefficient.
Is the shredder/mulching blade plastic or metal, Thanks?
Asked by Rich July 7, 201910
AnswersThis model is metal, easily replaced and surprisingly strong.
How long would it take to vacuum a lot size 66’ x 60’?
Asked by BlackLab14 August 20, 20188
AnswersMy guess is about a half hour. Really depends on thickness of leaves, if you have to empty the bag, are you working around plants, are you aggressive in vacuuming or laid back, heavy leaves or thin light leaves
Would this work to pick up cottonwood "cotton"? We deal with massive amounts of the stuff
Asked by Bigdog May 26, 20177
AnswersYeah I should think--it will vacuum up most everything.
How will the shredder handle Sweet Gum balls? They are extremely hard and I worry about burning the motor up.
Asked by Toby April 20, 20165
AnswersIt doesn't, you need to blow the leaves into a loose pile that separates the gum balls or hickery nuts.
what is the difference between the ES-250 and ES-255 models?
Asked by Rich September 29, 20165
AnswersNot sure, but go to the Home Depot site and do a model comparison--it will tell you.
can you buy a gutter cleaning attachment

Best leaf vacuum
November 15, 2020
This is by far the best leaf vacuum I've ever owned! This did as good a job as having landscapers clean them up doesn't clog up like alot of electric models do!

The Echo ES 250 exceeded my expectation.
This review is for the Vacuum configuration. I have only used it for one day. My research included Homelite, Husqvarna, Echo and Stihl. After reading numerous product reviews and the operators manuals, I settled on the ECHO ES 250.
Pros:
1) Assembly was easy. Undo the knob holding the cover, slide the suction tube into the unit and with a slight twist, it locks in firmly in place. Same for the outlet pipe. Attach the bag with the velcro cinch. Add 50:1 fuel mix and go.
2) The ES 250 has 4 steel blades to chop up the leaves and small twigs. It does a great job.
3) Emptying the leaf bag is easy. Just release the Velcro, take the bag off the blower, unzip the back of the bag and pull the leaves out.
4) The cruise control is fantastic. Set the speed and you don't have to touch the trigger again.
Cons:
None

May 22, 2018
It works great as blower! The vac feature, I think needs some work. The impeller of the blower/vac should be made from a more durable material for me to feel comfortable using it, plus the exhaust is right at you in the vac orientation.

December 9, 2017
I've owned this product a little over 3 months now and am very happy with it's performance. I struggled with a few different things at first but after a few uses, I figured them out. The blower/vac is a little difficult at first to switch tubes but gets easier after you do it a few times. Its also the easiest piece of outdoor equipment to start and has started first pull every time. I initially. thought it didn't have enough vacuum power nor hold very much in the bag. After a few uses, I changed my tune. I was clogging both the bag and the tube itself. If you hover the tube near or above the leaves it picks them up very nicely, if you stick the nose IN a pie of leaves, it will clog. Also, while moving around with the bag on your shoulder, the bag is constantly moving meaning the neck of the bag is moving. If the neck of the bag is pinched whatsoever, the vacuum loses vac power so keep in mind to adjust the bag accordingly and it will pick up a ton of leaves. For a $200 price tag and the performance, I rate this 5 stars.

October 17, 2017
The blowing and vacuum functions are really good. I purchased a different blower first, but didn't find the vacuum to be any good and didn't like the set up. This was much more improved. The bag is easy to attach and stays attached. Once I figured out how to assemble the vacuum tube, I was all set. I like it. It's a little more expensive than I hoped to pay for a blower/vacuum, but I like the product.

January 16, 2017
My dad has owned and operated a lawn equipment repair shop for the better part of 50 years and swears by the Echo brand products. After reviewing all that was out there, I took his advise and purchased the Echo gas leaf blower vacuum. Echo builds products for life. This is a great product and performs as expected from a quality brand. Don't waste your money on the cheap stuff. Buy Echo!
Echo Blower / Vac
October 6, 2016
Great blower vacuum. Gas powered 2 cycle. The vacuum tube is plenty long and eliminate fatigue. No more stooping over. The vacuum containment bag has a rear zipper for easy dumping of materials. The best feature is the metal impeller, fan. This blower vacuum mulches the leaves a twigs with no problems.
Great tool for my area of Southern California, with water rationing this blower vacuum eliminates washing down the hard scapes.
POOR QUALITY/BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE
December 3, 2014
Had this unit for a year and the debris bag wore a hole in it because there is no deflector flap at the end of the chute. Tried to defect it through Echo, and they told me that this is normal wear and tear and would do nothing but try to sell me another one that would obviously wear another hole in a year. NO THANKS!!! I have had several other brands of leaf blower/vacs and the debris bags have outlasted the units. My advice is to avoid this company if this is how they take care of their customers.
Great Purchase. Echo is the best in the consumer industry
November 21, 2014
Great Blower overall. only small thing I having to convert it to the shredder it takes a lil effort to remove the tubes when changed back to blowing but other than that all my neighbors love the blower. I have help some neighbors do their leaves and they are impressed. Go with ECHO
