A good backpack blower

[padman]

I am after a backpack blower for just a couple of jobs i have picked up over the next few months - dont want to spend a fortune.

 

Saw this one Draper Expert 33cc Backpack Petrol Blower. £181

 

Anyone know what its like, or can reco any others i should be looking at.

 

Appreciate input.

Second hand stihl then re sell when finished with it?

[Burgess]

33cc? Isn't that hand held blower engine size?

[hedgesparrow]

if you want a good back pack then 60cc plus anything under may as well use a hand held. husky.echo two good makes. if its only for a couple of jobs hire one be cheaper. looking £400 plus for a good knapsack blower.

stihl magnum.Remember buy cheap buy twice.

Echo pb770 is by far the best.

Used the stihl. It ok but it will do one before long.

Thanks for the input guys.

Well I have had a good hunt around - I cant stretch to the £400 ones. This Hyundai HYB60 looks good for £230 so may click the buy button on it Any one used it.

 

There is also a Timberpro 65cc machine for £189 as well - looks like its Chinese machine.

i got a sthil br350, and am pleased with it, not loads more than the handheld bg86 but way more umph and nicer to use for long periods of time, actually find its one of the most usefull tools doing garden work.
