Zoom on the Husqvarna 150BT
The Husqvarna 150BT
The Husqvarna 150BT is a gas backpack blower that is suited for homeowners with big residential yards that extend beyond half an acre and require ongoing upkeep.
It sports a max air speed of 270 MPH and a max air volume rating of 452 cubic feet per minute (CFM). For the user, it can shift leaves and debris efficiently on yard sections while providing enough speed for slightly heavier material.
The 150BT features a 51-cc 2-stroke X-Torq® engine and runs on a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mixture. The X-Torq® is Husqvarna's latest technology for two-stroke engines. It reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% and harmful exhaust emissions by up to 60% while increasing torque over a wider rpm range. Its 42.6 fl. oz. fuel tank contributes to keeping its weight as low as possible.
There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the 150BT offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
At 22 lbs (dry), the blower’s backpack configuration allows longer use by moving the bulk of the weight off the arms. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

I bought a Husqvarna BT150 in September 2012 and it did a great job. Died in January 2022. Almost 10 years of home use only.
I live on one acre of wooded property. Got the new model today. I use ethanol free gas and Walmart 2 stroke oil 50.1 mix
Excellent system, it always starts within three pulls. It is lightweight and easy to use, I highly recommend this blower.
