Description

The Husqvarna 525BX is a powerful and well-balanced handheld blower for professional use. The patented X-Torq® engine technology, in combination with the special fan and housing design, means a high blowing capacity that’s easy to control. The LowVib® anti-vibration system makes work less strenuous – even during long shifts. Plus, cruise control and other smart features ensure efficient and convenient operation at all times.

Overview of the Husqvarna 525BX

The Husqvarna 525BX in use

The Husqvarna 525BX

  • Power: The 525BX gas-powered blower, manufactured by Husqvarna, is rated for a max air volume of 459 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 192 MPH.
  • Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. In the realm of gas-powered handheld blowers, the Husqvarna 525BX is distinguished by its lower weight, offering ease of use at just 9.48 lbs.
  • Engine: Its X-Torq® engine boasts a displacement of 25.4cc. Please keep in mind that due to its 2-stroke nature, the engine of the Husqvarna 525BX necessitates a precise mixture of gasoline and oil for operation. According to Husqvarna, the proper fuel mixture ratio for this blower is 50:1
  • Speed Settings: The Husqvarna 525BX provides versatile control with customizable airflow via variable speed settings and the convenience of cruise control for prolonged comfort.
  • Noise: At 91 dB, the noise produced by the 525BX is in line with what you'd expect from other gas-powered handheld blowers.
  • Fuel Tank: With a capacity of 15.22 fl. oz., this Husqvarna blower is average compared to other gas handheld 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.

The Husqvarna 525BX's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Husqvarna 525BX compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • It can push air from the nozzle at 192 MPH, which puts it ahead of its class in terms of air speed for gas-powered handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman BV2500 and its 250 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • Regarding its air volume, the Husqvarna 525BX boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 459 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This places it amongst the most powerful gas-powered handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB, with 520 CFM, could be in your good books.

As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other gas handheld blowers, the Husqvarna 525BX is on the expensive side of the price range.

    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.

    + PROS: Easy to start
    - CONS: Cannot be restarted once it is warm

    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.

    + PROS: Very good blower. Significantly outperforms the Husqvarna 125b
    - CONS: Has heat issues. This thing can burn you after it has been turned off due to no more air flow to cool it.

    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.

    + PROS: great price, free shipping
    - CONS: carb/ idle out of adjustment after a few months use.
