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. Be aware that, at 23.4 lbs, the Stihl BR 700 is on the heavier side for gas-powered backpack blowers.

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 700 to match.
Noise: Its noise rating of 75 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered backpack blowers.
Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity, with a tank able to hold around 47.3 fl. oz of fuel.

The Stihl BR 700's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Stihl BR 700 compare with similar leaf blowers.

Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 197 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for gas-powered backpack blowers (the one expelling air at the fastest speed being the Husqvarna 150BT with 251 MPH).
If air volume is an important feature, the BR 700 by Stihl will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 912 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is more powerful than most gas-powered backpack leaf blowers (the biggest expelled air volume belonging to the Echo PB-8010H with 1071 CFM).

Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:

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

STRENGTHS:

4-Mix Engine
High CFM (912 CFM)

AVERAGE SPECS:

Decent Tank (47.3 fl. oz.)
Acceptable Noise (75 dB)
