Echo ES-250ES 25.4cc Petrol Shred 'N' Vac®
Three tools in one package is a practical proposition when the switching between them is genuinely quick — and the ES-250ES delivers on that. Converting from vacuum and shredder mode to blower takes seconds, just removing the shredding bag and swapping pipes, meaning you can clear a large area by blowing debris into a pile and then vacuum it up without putting the machine away and getting a different one out.
The shredding function reduces collected material 12:1 in volume, which is the detail that makes the vacuum function actually useful rather than just filling a bag every few minutes. Leaves that would fill twelve bags get compressed into one, cutting the number of trips to the compost heap or green waste bin significantly.
The 25.4cc professional-grade engine produces 85.3 m/sec air speed — notably high for a machine of this type — and at 77.1 dB(A) sound pressure it's one of the quieter petrol garden tools in the Echo range, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments. ES-Start keeps the starting process straightforward, and at 4.8kg it remains manageable in all three operating configurations.
