Just looked for backpack blowers for my son-in-law. Considered the Solo but nixed it cuz parts availablility is a problem. CFM is comparable to Redmax and Echo, but not the Echo 755 nor the Redmax 7001/8001.

Thank you simpleman 5 for your prompt reply. This particular solo that Im looking for opinions on is their 440 Handheld model, out this year. From the lack of reply's it looks like they arent too popular? I have a chance to get a price break on one and was curious if they are pushing more air than their competition. I also agree with you on the bigger Echo's. I believe the big Echo blower moves more cfm than any of the competition. Their new warranty just makes it that much better...

Take care.
