About the ECHO ES-250ES Petrol Handheld Leaf Blower & Vacuum
Versatile 3-in-1 Tool for Clean, Tidy Gardens
The Echo ES-250ES is a lightweight, professional-grade tool built to manage garden debris with remarkable efficiency. This powerful machine combines three essential functions: blowing, vacuuming, and shredding. Whether you’re clearing leaves or tidying patios, it handles every task quickly and cleanly.
Reliable Performance with Professional-Grade Power
At its core is a 25.4cm³ professional-grade petrol engine designed for strength and dependable performance in any garden condition. Echo’s patented EasyStart system ensures quick starting with minimal effort every time you use the machine. You’ll benefit from consistent power when blowing, vacuuming, or shredding even thick garden debris.
Switch Functions Fast and Without Tools
The ES-250ES transforms from vacuum to blower in seconds, allowing you to adjust as the job demands. Simply detach the shredding bag and change the pipes to switch functions, no tools required for conversion. This flexibility makes your garden routine faster, smoother, and more efficient.
Powerful Shredding for Fewer Trips
Shredding is where the ES-250ES truly excels, using an asymmetric blade to reduce debris volume by a 12:1 ratio. Smaller clippings mean fewer interruptions to empty the bag, letting you cover more ground in less time. Shredded material is perfect for composting or easier disposal, adding further value to your garden efforts.
Comfortable, Lightweight, and Easy to Control
With a dry weight of only 5.7kg, this shredder is light enough for extended use without fatigue. Its balanced, ergonomic design supports accurate handling and reduces strain during long tasks. Vibration levels are low, and it runs more quietly than many petrol models, ensuring comfort for both user and neighbours.
High Air Volume and Speed for Effective Blowing
When used as a blower, the ES-250ES delivers a maximum air speed of 85.3m/sec with a 600m³/h volume. This makes clearing leaves from driveways, patios, lawns, or paths fast and efficient in every season. Even wet, stubborn debris is moved with ease, making your garden look neat again in no time.
Built to Last with High-Spec Components
Echo’s commitment to quality is evident in every detail, from the durable housing to the long-lasting engine parts. This tool is designed to withstand repeated use and seasonal demands without sacrificing power or comfort. It’s ideal for homeowners who expect durability and professional performance from their equipment.
The Ultimate Garden Cleanup Companion
Whether it’s autumn leaves or spring pruning, the Echo ES-250ES is the all-in-one solution for busy gardeners. With fewer tools to manage and more power at your fingertips, garden cleanup becomes faster and more enjoyable.

Simon Armitt –
My first garden blower / vac’ purchase as have been putting it off, but amount of leaves on lawns now too much to rake up by hand. I already own a few Echo gardening tools so was pretty confident that the ES-250ES would be a reliable and good quality purchase. I did some research and found GMD to have the best price and they included a free 100ml bottle of 2 stroke oil. So I purchased the blower / vac’ unseen straight from their website, the purchase and delivery being quick and seamless without any need to message GDM for delivery info…very efficient!
The Echo ES-250ES is exactly as I thought it would be, a high quality and relatively easy to use machine. It started easily out of the box, is very powerful when used as a blower and is noticeably quieter than my older Echo equipment. Re-configuring it to use as a vacuum is a bit fiddly, but straight forward , I would say its slightly cumbersome to handle with the large suction nozzle and collection bag attached, but it vacuum’s dry leaves up easily and quickly and shreds them efficiently into very fine particles…..which can make using the vac a very dusty business. I’ve not attempted to vacuum wet or damp leaves, but I think it may struggle to pick up say, wet leaves stuck to a paved area and I can’t think wet leaves would be beneficial to the function of the shredding blades. Overall though I’m really happy with the Echo garden blower / vac as it reduces an hours manual sweeping / bagging to 15 mins. Thank you GDM for great service.
Nigel Vincent –
Happy with the blower haven’t used it as a sucker now unsure why I need a sucker when the blower in itself is probably more effective when used with skill.
John Hallatt –
Best leaf sucker I have ever used.
The bag is particularly easy to empty compared with others I have used.
Mrs Jacqui Lynes –
Ease of use & power okay
Mr Roland Willmott –
The supplied blower will not start. Currently waiting for GM to take action but it will have to be replaced.
