Weight to Power Ratio: B

A good powerful blower. However, at 25lbs it should be more powerful. While blowing harder than the Redmax 7001, it falls short of the Redmax 8000.

Comfort: B

At 25lbs, the Echo 751 is as heavy as the Redmax 8000. If you are strong, the weight shouldn’t bother you. Just be realistic in accessing yourself.

Durability: B+

A tough unit. Tried and true. The Echo has been on the market for several years and no real issues to speak of.

Ease of Start: B+

Easy starting. Due to its size, it does require more of a tug like the Redmax 8000. Remember than you are cranking an engine with over 60cc’s.

Value for Money: B+

Usually sells for $400-500 depending on location. A good value with a reputable company standing behind the unit.
