Description
Overview of the Stihl BR 350
- Power: The Stihl BR 350 is a gas-powered blower with a maximum air volume rating of 436 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 201 MPH.
- Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld. That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time.

The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Stihl model, this ratio is 50:1).
- Speed Settings: In order to afford more control to the user, this unit has a variable speed control. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Stihl BR 350 to match.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 74 dB, the BR 350 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the gas-powered backpack category.
- Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity, with a tank able to hold around 57.5 fl. oz of fuel.

I have an old 350 series that was thrown out by a country club,so it has had a hard life.U.v.rays caused the plastic to crack up,but I made braces and repaired everything it needed.It is strong!Before I tackled rejuvinating it,I used Homelite hand held ones,and they too came from the trash.They are good little blowers,but thisStihl is like another world!Keeping in mind,it was used commercially..,rode hard and pot up wet!My hand helds are good for tight quarters,but I’m sold on stihl from now on.
I’ve only used it for about 30 minutes, but very pleased comparing it to my handheld that I burned up this morning.
