The Stihl BR 700 X
The Stihl BR 700 X is a gas backpack blower that is ideal for homeowners with a residential property with medium to large lawns, often half an acre to several acres, and for professionals handling medium-to-large yards for clients.
Its maximum output is 901 CFM of air volume and 193 MPH of air speed. Practically, this means the blower should handle large amounts of leaves across yards, patios, or driveways while also having enough speed to move damp leaves, acorns, or small twigs.
The BR 700 X features a 64.8-cc 4-stroke 4-Mix engine requiring a 50:1 fuel-oil mixture, unusual for a 4-stroke design. Its tank has a capacity of 47.3 fl. oz., which is typical for backpack gas blowers.
Users can fine-tune airflow with the variable speed settings of the BR 700 X, complemented by intuitive cruise control for effortless use.
This gas backpack blower weighs 23 lbs (dry) and places most of the weight on the back while the operator guides the tube with one hand. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
4-Mix Engine Technology
Stihl's 4-Mix engine combines the advantages of 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. This award-winning 4-stroke engine runs on a mix of gasoline and oil (1:50). For this to happen, the gasoline-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
- Cruise control
- 4-Mix Engine
- Lightweight (23 lbs)
- High CFM (901 CFM)
- Decent tank (47.3 fl. oz.)
- On the expensive side
- Low MPH (193 MPH)
