- Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld. That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Weighing 23.2 lbs, the Husqvarna 360BT holds a middle ground among gas-powered backpack blowers, neither exceptionally light nor overly heavy, providing a moderate weight option for users.
- Engine: This blower is fitted with a 65.6cc X-Torq® engine. Given its 2-cycle design, it's essential to mix gasoline and oil correctly for the unit's engine. The proper fuel ratio set by the manufacturer for the 360BT is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the 360BT offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
- Noise: Its noise level of 97 dB falls within the expected range for gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Fuel Tank: With a tank capacity of 74.4 fl. oz., the Husqvarna blower falls within the usual range for gas backpack blowers.
- X-Torq®: 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.

Questions & Answers
There are no questions yet. Ask the first question.
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.
