Zoom on the Husqvarna 525BX
The Husqvarna 525BX
With its gas handheld design, the Husqvarna 525BX is appropriate for homeowners with a patio or small yard that does not require frequent or large-scale cleanup.
It delivers up to 459 CFM of air volume and 192 MPH of air speed. In practice, this blower should move scattered leaves across yard areas and patios with concentrated airflow.
With its 25.4-cc 2-stroke X-Torq® engine, the 525BX requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix for operation. 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 tank has a capacity of 15.22 fl. oz., which is typical for handheld gas blowers.
The Husqvarna 525BX provides versatile control with customizable airflow via variable speed settings and the convenience of cruise control for prolonged comfort.
With a dry weight of 9.48 lbs, this gas handheld unit can be guided with one hand to clear specific areas.

The Husqvarna 525BX's performance versus other blowers

- Weighing only 9.48 lbs, the Husqvarna 525BX is on the lighter side compared with many gas-powered handheld blowers. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Stihl BG 50 is worth a look at just 7.9 lbs.
- It can propel air from the nozzle at speeds going up to 192 MPH, placing it at the top of its class for air velocity among gas-powered handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Poulan Pro PPBV25 and its 230 MPH could be an option to consider.

User Reviews
Bought this machine less than 3 years ago. Easy to start and has great power, however once you shut in down it will not restart for hours no mater what you do. So I have to rate this machine as a 1 star.
This is a pro grade blower. I have had a 125B for yrs and this is way better. Lots of power and easy to start. The only issue is this thing gets HOT. While running you can manage the heat to your hand, but when turned off there is no air flow to cool it and this thing actually gets hotter for a while on top til it finally cools down.
I loved old design stihl tools,(BG86), but heard enough bad about new ones that I saw fit to look elsewhere. I also had great luck with redmax trimmers in the past. I found this Husqvarna blower, (exact same look, specs as redmax model), and figured I couldn’t miss on the price. Bought in late 2018, used on light snows and by late spring, idle is out of adjustment. I hope that’s all it is. I now see also that I need a special tool to fit adjustment screws. Not impressed if this is what Husky/ redmax has become since Husky takeover. Never had such an issue with older stihl, echo or redmax tools.
