  • shredder/blower/vacuum

    Hi,

    Similar to my trimmer thread (but shorter), Im looking for a shredder/vac/blower for home use. I want something that will last, as the last one I had (ryobi) snaped a connecting rod, despite going even a little heavy on the oil addition.

    My parents have an echo, Its an ES-210. it seems quite efficient, not all that loud, and seems to do good.

    I saw that redmax offers one, with a stratocharged engine, but the handle setup doesnt look as good as the echo in terms of long-term use manuverability when vacuuming for long periods of time.

    Any suggestions? Ill bet the redmax is a lot more $$$ than the $199 for the echo, is it a LOT better or longer lasting?

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    The Stihl version is about $200. I have used mine for about a year and it works OK. Biggest complaint is it is a PIA to start. Once it does everything is fine.
