Generic backpack blower

Anyone bought a generic / chinese backpack blower EG Buko, Hyundai, Titan etc. Ball park cost seems around £120 to £150 just looking for an occasional use one, use Echo PB 8010'S  for serious stuff.  Attractive at that price level with reclaimable vat . Appreciate won't be repairable with non existent warranty, be interested if anyone has used or got one.

    We brought some of the Hyundai ones a few years ago. Look like a copy of the old Stihl BR420's........and they were absoloute rubbish. Gutless and difficult to start!

    • Thanks Nick, I guessed I knew the answer before asking the question! Will stick with Echo

  • Haven't bought one myself but I remember some years ago I'd been working in someone's garden and I was sweeping up, the lady brought me a blower from her shed and said I could use it to clear up. It was a cheap supermarket thing, well I started it up and there was so much vibration through the handles I didn't bother, preferring to use my broom!

    Bought a Chinese mist blower, kinda did the job for 6 months, then gradually pipes started leaking and started to fall apart, so I suppose if you're prepared for 1 season or less, maybe
