Feel, Fuel & Noise

Manufactured by Husqvarna, both the 150BT and the 580BTS Mark III should uphold similar standards of quality and attention to detail.

Manufactured as backpack blowers, these two products are equipped with large engines and spacious fuel tanks, offering comfortable carrying while you work. On both products, the throttle is situated on the blower tube, giving you the advantage of having your left hand available for other uses.
Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.
The Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III, with a weight of 26.8 lbs, outweighs the 22 lbs of the Husqvarna 150BT, making it more physically taxing to operate and potentially causing more fatigue during extended use.
The Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III registers a noise rating of 106 dB, slightly above the 94 dB rating of the Husqvarna 150BT. Opting for the Husqvarna 150BT could result in a quieter experience for both you and your neighbors.

CFM & MPH

The Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III, providing a CFM of 1000, outmatches the 452 CFM of the Husqvarna 150BT. Your leaf blowing experience will therefore be outstandingly improved with the Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III, as it should be able to move considerably more leaves per minute.
The MPH of the Husqvarna 150BT, at 270, modestly exceeds the 220 MPH of the Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III, allowing it to blow leaves on grass or lift heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

With its generous 87.9 fl.oz. fuel tank, the Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III outstrips the Husqvarna 150BT, which holds 42.6 fl.oz. of fuel. This disparity means more fuel available for longer runtime, assuming comparable fuel consumption rates between the two engines.
The Husqvarna 150BT's engine displacement of 51 cc is dwarfed by the 75.6 cc of the Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III. While the latter uses way more fuel per stroke, it is in turn far more powerful. Both leaf blowers come with 2-stroke engines, which necessitate an oil/fuel mix for operation.

Other features

With no leaf vacuuming functionality in either the Husqvarna 150BT or the Husqvarna 580BTS Mark III, you'll have to find another way to gather leaves.
