- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market.

- Noise: With a decibel rating of 75 dB, the BR 600 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the gas-powered backpack category.
- Fuel Tank: With a capacity of 47.3 fl. oz., this Stihl blower is average when compared to other gas-powered backpack leaf blowers.

4-Mix Engine Technology
Stihl's 4-Mix engine combines the advantages of 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines. This award-winning 4-stroke engine runs on a mix of petrol and oil (1:50). For this to happen, the petrol-oil mix enters the cylinder head through a bypass channel in order to offer full lubrication, which avoids the need for parts like an oil pump, sump or tank (which are compulsory for traditional 4-stroke engines). Therefore, there is no oil servicing to do (easy maintenance), the leaf blower is lighter (due to fewer parts) and its overall noise is lower. Additionally, all 4-MIX engines are fitted with a system that considerably reduces the effort needed to pull the starter rope.
The bottom line
- 4-Mix Engine
- High MPH (238 MPH)
- Decent Tank (47.3 fl. oz.)
- Acceptable Noise (75 dB)
- Decent Weight (21.6 lbs)
- Decent CFM (677 CFM)

The engine is easy starting, runs smoothly and it has the power to move leaves, acorns, sticks. I can clear a forest path in the fall at a normal walking speed. That’s 2-3 inches of material blown clear while walking along the trail.
