Description
Overview of the Husqvarna 590BTS
- Power: The Husqvarna 590BTS is a gas-powered blower with a maximum air volume rating of 1245 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 216 miles per hour (MPH).
- Handling: This blower’s backpack functionality makes make it less exerting on the user, even when used for an extended period of time. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. However, for a gas-powered backpack blower, the Husqvarna 590BTS is heavier than most, weighing 26.2 lbs.
- Engine: This blower is fitted with a 79.4cc X-Torq® engine. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the 590BTS cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Husqvarna model, this ratio is 50:1).
- Speed Settings: The Husqvarna 590BTS offers customizable airflow through its variable speed settings, along with integrated cruise control for convenient operation.
- Noise: The 590BTS's noise level is rated at 81 dB, which is standard for gas-powered 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.
