The city of Sanibel first banned gas-powered blower back in 2021, only a year later, both South Miami & Miami Beach have also banned gas-powered blowers, this would represent a heavy hit for the landscaping industry, but you have options. Here at Reyest Lawnmower we sell battery-powered blowers which can carry the same strength as traditional gas-powered blowers while being compliant with these new laws. In this article we are going to go through the variety of alternatives we have available in order to be in compliance.

Terms Explained

Hand-Held Blowers

If you are looking for a lightweight blower for smaller projects, then our selection of battery-powered blowers might be our closest match for you. Both blowers are not only lightweight (coming in at around 10 lbs.) but have compatible batteries with the rest of Echo's 56v Battery Equipment line. The first blower we present to you is the DPB-2500, see the table below for more info. This blower is made for primarily residential & non-professional customers in mind, & because of that is lighter than all the other Echo battery system blowers. On the other hand, the DPB-2610 Blower is a slightly heavier & stronger blower, with a metal nozzle ring & MAXOUT® technology included this blower is made for larger and tougher jobs & is more notable in professional use. 

DPB-2500 Vs. DPB-2610

Backpack Blowers

If handheld blowers are too small or not strong enough for you, then backpack blowers might be a better fit for you, luckily Echo has a line of battery powered backpack blowers for sale. The main feature of backpack blowers is their strength, even though they weigh far more than any handheld-blower, they simply outpace any hand-held blower when it comes to power. The lightest of the battery-powered backpack blowers is the DPB-5800T, coming in at around 20-27 lbs. with the batteries included, and with a runtime of about 20-40 minutes with all three 5 Amp batteries on. If you are a homeowner, or a professional that needs a blower for lighter applications, this blower is for you, if you are looking for something heavier the next two blowers might be a better fit. The DPB-5900T  is not only stronger than the DPB-5800T, but lasts longer, up to an hour at the highest speed setting with three 8 Ah batteries, the blower also comes with MAXOUT® technology and is primarily made for professional use. But if the highest power possible is what you are looking for, then the DPB-7700T is your best bet, this blower is on its way to becoming the strongest blower in Echo's battery-powered line. This blower was made for professionals that needed more power with battery-powered blowers, this blower also comes with an LCD screen for battery info, along with a water-resistant lead to protect the batteries, and a locked turbo mode, made for the strongest of tasks. As of the date of this article we have not yet started to sell the DPB-7700T, but expect it to be coming soon!
