Zoom on the Stihl BR 350
The Stihl BR 350
The Stihl BR 350 is a gas backpack blower that is a good match for homeowners with residential properties where lawns or gardens fall between a quarter and half an acre.
Its maximum output is 436 CFM of air volume and 201 MPH of air speed. This balance means it can handle smaller piles of leaves efficiently across yard sections, patios, or garden paths.
With its 63.3-cc 2-stroke 2-MIX engine, the BR 350 requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix for operation. Its tank has a capacity of 57.5 fl. oz., which is typical for backpack gas blowers.
Users can fine-tune airflow with the variable speed settings of the BR 350, complemented by intuitive cruise control for effortless use.
Weighing 22 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.

2-Mix Engine Technology
Stihl's 2-Mix engine is a more eco-friendly and powerful approach to the traditional 2-stroke engine. It features what Stihl calls "stratified scavenging", which simply means that a layer of air is created between the combustion chamber and the crankcase. This action allows the engine to separate fresh fuel from the exhaust, which in turn minimizes the scavenging losses and eliminates the components of the mix that pose a health and environmental hazard (compliant with European Emissions Directive, Stage II). The 2-Mix engine offers a high torque over a wide speed range, a fuel consumption up to 20% lower than conventional 2-stroke engines, and fewer harmful emissions.
The bottom line
- In the expected price range
- Cruise control
- 2-Mix Engine
- Lightweight (22 lbs)
- Decent tank (57.5 fl. oz.)
- Low CFM (436 CFM)
- Low MPH (201 MPH)

I’ve only used it for about 30 minutes, but very pleased comparing it to my handheld that I burned up this morning.
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.
