User Reviews
This is my first back pack blower. I’m a home owner, not a pro, however, I have a two acre yard and a second home.
I immediately noticed a HUGE difference compared to my hand held blower. The 360BT has very good power, excellent throttle response, not extremely loud (still wear muffs) and NOT a lot of exhaust. Cut a lot of time off my leaf clearing chores. A good value if you have a lot of leaves or a large yard or both.
I like the fact that this equipment is commercially rated.
I did not compare with peer brands, however, read a lot of independent online info. Reliability is a common attribute mentioned repeatedly in all accounts I read. SO… looking forward to a loooong term relationship with the 360BT.
A big thumbs up.
Idle is super quiet, sits well on your back. Not overly heavy with fuel. Entry point of a commercial grade blower. the CFM Rating on this site is incorrect. the actual cfm is 890 CFM. By far the best out there in my opinion. Better than Echo, Stihl, and the rest.
