Description
Maximize productivity by giving your crew the ability to quickly move heavy debris and leaves with the powerful Husqvarna 590BTS backpack blower. With 56N of blowing force and 1,245 CFM of air volume at speeds of 216 MPH at the nozzle, this blower packs a powerful punch.
Zoom on the Husqvarna 590BTS
With its gas backpack design, the Husqvarna 590BTS is best suited to professionals who manage multiple properties or client sites.
It delivers up to 1245 CFM of air volume and 216 MPH of air speed. In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.
The 590BTS features a 79.4-cc 2-stroke X-Torq® engine and runs on a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mixture. 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. With a tank that holds 91.3 fl. oz., this model is on the upper range of fuel capacity for backpack blowers.
To provide more control over their job to the user, the unit has a variable speed control setting. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Husqvarna 590BTS to match it. On top of that, maintaining the selected speed is effortless, as it also features cruise control.
Weighing 26.2 lbs (dry), this backpack unit rests on the user’s back so the arm holding the tube can focus on directing airflow rather than supporting the full weight. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

The Husqvarna 590BTS's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Husqvarna 590BTS compare with similar leaf blowers.
- The Husqvarna 590BTS tips the scales at 26.2 lbs, a weight that's typical for many gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Stihl BR 800 X MAGNUM® is worth a look at just 23 lbs.
- Maxing out at 216 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the PRORUN PBB3000, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 250 MPH.
- If air volume is an important feature, the 590BTS by Husqvarna will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 1245 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which makes this unit one of the most powerful gas-powered backpack blowers with a comparable engine size.
