I just bought a brand new ECHO off craigslist for $100. Its a PB125 (if im remembering correctly) Its gas, but u have to mix a ratio of gas and 2 cycle oil together for it to run properly. Easier than dragging cord around
I bought a new 4 cycle blower at Lowes a couple years ago. You can buy several attachments for it besides the blower like weedeater, small tiller etc. I got tired of mixing gas and oil. Runs like a top
