    Default Efco Products

    Doea anyone use them and any reviews? Im definately getting their hand held blower, higher output, lighter and $100 cheaper than the other top brands, 2yr full commercial warranty and the intake is on the right side which I love so no more sucking onto your pants! The girl at the shop is also getting in a brushcutter for me to play with to. again it is comprable on price, has a better power to cc ratio, 2yr warranty and comes with a very well designed anti vibration dampner and adjustable harness connector as standard.

    Efco are made by Italian outdoor power product company Emak.

    Powerup Lawncare Products are the Aussie importer.

    Most Indies/contractors either use Stihl or Echo blowers for a very good reason.

    They are excellent machines and they are reliable

    You pay for what ya get

    PLP come out with alot of equipment, some good.. the old bushrangers, some bad ... the new ones, I agree with rob you pay for what you get.
    $100 cheaper might be good to start with but how long until they discontinue the line and you have trouble finding the parts for them.

    The efco puts out 720m3/hr out the stihl bg86 puts out 780

    Intake is the same side as the stihl and they are the same weight.

    For an extra hundy i would go a known and tested model.

    i get your point anjaryan, and while i looked at the stihls i hadnt taken them into account with my comparison so my bad. in saying that the 86 is 200 more than this and as im starting out and have limited funds and that makes a big difference. hence asking if anyone had a review, not an opinion. if someones used one and its a pile of **** id stay away from it but if the best thats put to me is its not a stihl then woopdedo. oh and i agree with you on the toyotas, just got my old mans one handed down to me with 530000ks on the clock with everything but an alternator and a couple of starters original. drove it from sydney to townsville in two days and never missed a beat!

    Mate by all means get the blower u want dont listen to the guys that have been in the business 5+ years.

    Woulnt be using a Ford or a Holden as a work vehicle
    Navara Hilux or Triton would be the pick of the punch .

    Yes I have a Navara as a work vehicle
    Also have a Maloo as a play vehicle

    Im of the reasoning spend the money once on the right equipment .

    Fair enough, good luck with it and maybe you can write a review on it once you get it.
