Q:I'm thinking of using this to vacuum blow in insulation. Do you think it will work? Or be to much for the blade to mulch
by|Jun 26, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi Raymond! The ECHO Shred N Vac models are designed primarily to vacuum leaves. The units are not intended to vacuum items such as pinecones, acorns, etc. ECHO recommends first operating the unit as a blower to blow the leaves away from the items that are not intended to be vacuumed into the unit.

    Q:Where do I get a replacement bag for my echo leaf blower/ vacuum?
    by|May 4, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Sampson! Thank you for your question! The heavy duty vacuum bag is part number, #X692000190. Home Depot does not carry the replacement vacuum bag. It is best to visit your local ECHO dealer to place an order. To locate a dealer, please visit, https://www.echo-usa.com/store-locator

      Q:What kind of fuel does it work with?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello! Thank you for your inquiry. A 50:1 ratio with 89 through 93 Octane fuel can be used in all ECHO 2-stroke equipment, provided the oil is ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345 FD certified. ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345 FD oil must be used with a mid-grade (89 octane) or premium (93 octane) gasoline.

        Q:What's the weight of the blower configuration?
        by|Dec 10, 2022
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  I have never weighed it but I would estimate the weight to be about 15-20 lbs before any leaves are in the bag. If you have a full bag of leaves then probably 50-60 lbs total.

          Great tool!
          I bought this a few weeks back and I'm so glad I did. I upgraded from a cheap, electric Portland leaf vac from a discount tool store. Woah!!! What a difference! First, the Echo Shed-N-Vac, is 2-stroke engine powered vs the puny electric motor in the other one. Second, the shredding turbine has a metal plate on it to shred any accidental sticks or mulch it sucks up! Setup was too easy... minor assembly, add some mixed fuel, one pull on choke, next pull running.

            Disappointed
            Bought this unit in March 2017 to use for vacuuming leaves in our driveway. I only used it 3 months a year and after 3 years, it developed 4 different holes in the plastic housing. This allowed debris to blow out and hit the operator in the face, hands and legs. We took the unit to an Echo service center but they said we used it excessively and wouldn’t fix it. Their 5 year warranty is worthless!

              Best leaf vacuum
              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 Echo builds a good product. I purchased my first Echo Chainsaw in 1984 and it is still running today.

                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.

                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.

                  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.

                  No one in the store knew anything about the product?? We checked the product online and on YouTube and were much better educated. The product was easy to assemble, my wife assembled the Blower Accessory and was very pleased with the operation of the ECHO 165 MPH 391 CFM 25.4cc Gas Leaf Blower Vacuum. My Wife loves this product and I love it too!!!

                  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!
