- Power: The Husqvarna 360BT is a gas-powered leaf blower. It sports a max air speed of 232 MPH and a max air volume rating of 631 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. All told, it weighs 23.2 lbs — the Husqvarna 360BT is neither the lightest nor the heaviest gas-powered backpack blower on the market.
- Engine: This blower is fitted with a 65.6cc X-Torq® engine. Please note that, because the Husqvarna 360BT's engine is a 2-cycle one, it runs on a mixture of oil and gasoline. According to Husqvarna, the proper fuel mixture ratio for this blower 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 rating of 97 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a backpack blower, with a tank that holds around 74.4 fl. oz of fuel.
- 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.
