Recently, Keith Kalfas of Landscape Employee Trap compared the ECHO PB-2520 handheld gas blower with the Milwaukee M18 FUEL cordless blower.
Powering both up for an individual look first, Keith then compares in a side-to-side match-up to see how they stack up against each other.
As Keith shares, both have their various strengths and are excellent options based on use.
And Keith's preference between the ECHO PB-2520 and the Milwaukee M18 FUEL? The answer is in the video.
ECHO PB-2520
Pros
Most powerful handheld he's ever used (comparable to the smaller backpack blowers)
Could replace the BR-700
Lightweight and easy to use
Cons
Big fall clean-ups would probably be better served by backpack blowers
Milwaukee M18 FUEL
Pros
Perfect for quick spot touching up something you might have missed
The design allows the velocity of the wind to blow straight ahead
Ergonomic, plug-in-and-go operating
Cons
Lack of motor could see it as less powerful than gas-powered
