Zoom on the Husqvarna 570iBT
The Husqvarna 570iBT
The Husqvarna 570iBT is a cordless backpack blower that is mostly aimed at homeowners with homes with expansive outdoor areas (the kind that is more measured in acres than square feet), and professional landscapers handling medium-to-large yards for clients.
It is rated for a max air volume of 872 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 159 MPH. These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
This cordless blower is powered by a 36V brushless motor, allowing unrestricted movement during use. As this is a bare tool, the blower does not come with any batteries. The unit needs one 36V BLi-X battery to work, but can be fitted with as many as 3 batteries for extended runtime. With the 40-B540X battery, Husqvarna says the blower should operate for up to 195 minutes on a full charge.
There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the 570iBT offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
This cordless backpack blower weighs 19.6 lbs and carries most of its weight on the back, so the user only supports the tube with one hand. When using a 40-B540X battery, the total weight of the blower reaches around 25.9 lbs. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.
The Husqvarna 570iBT is rated IPX4, offering protection against water splashes from any direction, such as moisture kicked up from wet surfaces.

The Husqvarna 570iBT's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Husqvarna 570iBT compare with other cordless backpack leaf blowers.
- Among other cordless backpack blowers in the 36 to 40V range, the Husqvarna 570iBT is on the heavier side at 19.6 lbs. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Makita GBU04Z which is only 11 lbs the bare tool.
- Exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 159 MPH, which falls on the lower end for battery-operated backpack blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita GBU04Z, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 215 MPH.
- If air volume is an important feature, the 570iBT by Husqvarna will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 872 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which makes this unit one of the most powerful cordless backpack blowers with a comparable voltage.
- The longevity of this model’s battery is notably higher than most cordless backpack units. It offers an autonomy of up to 195 minutes. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Makita CBU02Z can run for up to 240 minutes and could be worth considering.
- Runtime alone doesn’t always tell the full story because it depends heavily on battery capacity. Runtime efficiency can give a clearer picture by showing how much work you get per unit of battery power. Runtime efficiency for the Husqvarna 570iBT sits comfortably in the middle of the range for battery-powered backpack blowers. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Ryobi RY40HPLB02K, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.23 minutes per Wh.
