Common specs comparison

Make & handling

  • As the Stihl BR 430 and the Husqvarna 350BT do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary. The throttle for both products is conveniently placed on the blower's tube, freeing up your left hand for other tasks.
  • Engineered as backpack blowers, these two products feature sizeable engines and large fuel tanks, ensuring comfortable carrying during operation.
  • gas-powered blowers, both products offer a dependable power source that can be refilled quickly, allowing you the mobility to cover extensive outdoor spaces without interruption.

CFM & MPH

  • The Stihl BR 430 boasts a slightly higher CFM rating of 500 compared to the Husqvarna 350BT (494.41 CFM), suggesting it may have a slight advantage in leaf-moving power.
  • The Stihl BR 430's MPH of 219 beats the 180 MPH of the Husqvarna 350BT. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Weight & Noise rating

  • Weighing 22.5 lbs, the Husqvarna 350BT tips the scales slightly above the 22.3 lbs of the Stihl BR 430, implying that while it's marginally heavier, users may still experience a touch more convenience in operation.
  • The Husqvarna 350BT emits a noise level of 94 dB, significantly louder than the 76 dB of the Stihl BR 430. This difference means that the latter will provide a much quieter experience for you and be less likely to disturb your neighbors.

Engine specs comparison

  • The Stihl BR 430 boasts a significantly larger fuel tank, holding 57.5 fl.oz. compared to the Husqvarna 350BT's 42.27 fl.oz. This allows for substantially more fuel storage and potentially longer operation, assuming similar fuel consumption rates for both engines.
  • The Husqvarna 350BT's engine, with a displacement of 50.2cc, is smaller than the 57.5cc engine of the Stihl BR 430. This implies that the latter might require more fuel per stroke, thus delivering higher power.
  • Both leaf blowers come with 2-cycle engines, which necessitate an oil/fuel mix for operation.
