Description
Overview of the Stihl BR 350
The Stihl BR 350
- Power: The BR 350 gas-powered blower, manufactured by Stihl, is rated for a max air volume of 436 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 201 MPH.
- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. All told, it weighs 22 lbs — the Stihl BR 350 is neither the lightest nor the heaviest gas-powered backpack blower on the market.
- Engine: This blower is fitted with a 63.3 cc 2-MIX engine. Please be aware that 2-cycle engines like this one require a mixture of gas and oil in order to run. For the Stihl BR 350, this ratio is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the BR 350 offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
- 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: Its tank can hold 57.5 fl. oz., so it falls squarely in the average in terms of fuel capacity.

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.
