  • Once you go big, you never go back.

    Last month, my 8510 went down. Dealer is across town and I just never got there. Last week my KRB 750 ate the fan (warrantee issue). The next largest thing I own is a BR400.

    WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Using this thing this past week has been like peeing into the wind. How in the world did we ever do any work with a little POS like this.

    If you don't own one of the big blowers Redmax 8001, Kawasaki 750, Stihl Br 600, Shindaiwa 8510, you aught to demo one. They are worth every dime.

          Have no idea what the 7001 blows because Redmax will not post their CFM at the tube. Just know that the 8001 is comparable to the others listed

                Maybe, this is the first issue in a year and I bought it used. And it blows like HELL.

                Spoiled, Have never seen a CFM tube rating for a redmax. All the other Manufactures list CFM at the housing and at the tube, but not Redmax. Not saying that it's not a great machine but the omission makes me wonder.

                  Finish your sentence Steve-O.... "My 751 Echo is unnecessarily heavy and garbage!! "

                  Try a Stihl BR600 and you'll forever leave the Echo brand.

                    mine ain't garbage and my daughter has no problem with it being heavy. when you grow up and become a man maybe at that point your physical structure will allow you to carry one. now i see why you want a hand held.

                              Home A - 10K sqft $50. ($3-$400K neighborhood)

                              Home B - 10K sqft $75-$100 ($750K- $1M neighborhood)

                              Yeah, you can do Home B for the same price but why would you? Are you ripping the customers off @ $100 or are you the scrub lowballer @$50.

                              Mr. Boyscout,,,,,,,,,,
                              Take the extra chips you have made overcharging your richer customers and buy a BR600.............

                              Peace out.........Mr. Boyscout
