These two products are handheld blowers and therefore provide you with superior mobility.
Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds, offering you the freedom of movement to tackle larger outdoor spaces with ease.

The Hitachi RB24EAP boasts a slightly higher CFM rating of 441 compared to the Stihl BG 50 (412 CFM), suggesting it may have a slight advantage in leaf-moving power.
The MPH of 170 for the Hitachi RB24EAP slightly outperforms the 159 MPH of the Stihl BG 50, enhancing its effectiveness in clearing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris.

The weight of the Hitachi RB24EAP, at 8.6 lbs, slightly exceeds that of the 7.9 lbs Stihl BG 50, which means you may experience slightly less fatigue and find it easier to maneuver during prolonged use.
