Further down the page, you'll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Husqvarna 150BT and the Husqvarna 580BTS.
But before checking out these explanations, here's a table that summarizes the main pros of each of these 2 leaf blowers:
- Higher MPH
- Lighter
- Less noisy
- Higher CFM
- Bigger fuel tank
- Higher cc
Common specs comparison
Make & handling
As the 150BT and the 580BTS are both Husqvarna blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.These two products are constructed as backpack leaf blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their powerful engines and massive fuel tanks.Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds. CFM & MPH
The Husqvarna 580BTS, providing a CFM of 908 outmatches the 434 CFM of the Husqvarna 150BT. Your leaf blowing experience will therefore be outstandingly improved with the Husqvarna 580BTS, as it should do a way better job at blowing leaves.The Husqvarna 150BT's MPH of 251 beats the 209 MPH of the Husqvarna 580BTS. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you with landscaping more effectively. Weight & Noise rating
The heavier Husqvarna 580BTS, standing at 25.8 lbs, dwarfs the 22.5 lbs of the Husqvarna 150BT, and may cause you more trouble physically when operating.The loud Husqvarna 580BTS, which produces 112 dB, significantly outmatches the 94 dB of the Husqvarna 150BT, and thus will be a lot louder than the latter. Engine specs comparison
The Husqvarna 580BTS's 87.9 fl.oz. fuel tank outmatches the Husqvarna 150BT's 35.2 fl.oz. You may fill it up with way more fuel and presumably run it longer, if both engines had the same fuel consumption.The Husqvarna 150BT's engine displacement of 50.2 cc is dwarfed by the 75.6 cc of the Husqvarna 580BTS. While the latter uses way more fuel per stroke, it is in turn far more powerful.Each of these leaf blowers features a 2-cycle engine. Thus, they both require you to have an oil/fuel mix to operate. Other features comparison
Vacuum ability
Neither the Husqvarna 150BT nor the Husqvarna 580BTS has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection. TL;DR
- Higher MPH
- Lighter
- Less noisy
- Higher CFM
- Bigger fuel tank
- Higher cc
