Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the 150BT and the 580BTS are both Husqvarna blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.

Designed as backpack blowers, both products boast substantial engines and sizable fuel tanks, making them easy to carry for extended periods. You'll find the throttle positioned on the tube of both products, ensuring that your left hand remains unoccupied for other activities.
Both products are gas-powered blowers, providing a reliable power source that can be refilled in seconds, granting you the flexibility to navigate through expansive outdoor areas effortlessly.
The Husqvarna 580BTS, weighing 26.8 lbs, clearly outweighs the Husqvarna 150BT at 22 lbs, which can make it more tiring to handle during extended use.
With a noise rating of 106 dB, the Husqvarna 580BTS exceeds the 94 dB rating of the Husqvarna 150BT. Consequently, selecting the Husqvarna 150BT might ensure a more peaceful atmosphere for both you and your neighbors.

CFM & MPH

The Husqvarna 580BTS, boasting a CFM of 1000, clearly outperforms the 452 CFM of the Husqvarna 150BT. With this higher CFM, the Husqvarna 580BTS promises a vastly improved leaf blowing capability, allowing you to tackle larger areas with ease.
The Husqvarna 150BT's MPH of 270 beats the 220 MPH of the Husqvarna 580BTS. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

With its generous 87.9 fl.oz. fuel tank, the Husqvarna 580BTS 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 lower fuel tank capacity of the Husqvarna 150BT can be accounted for by its Handheld handling. In contrast, the Husqvarna 580BTS's backpack design allows you to comfortably carry a larger fuel tank’s weight and dimensions.
The engine displacement of the Husqvarna 150BT, at 51 cc, pales in comparison to the 75.6 cc of the Husqvarna 580BTS. As a result, the latter may consume notably more fuel per stroke, resulting in significantly enhanced power. As in the case of the fuel tank capacity, the lower engine displacement of the Husqvarna 150BT can be attributed to the Handheld handling, compared to the backpack handling of the Husqvarna 580BTS. This design difference allows for the accommodation of the larger engine's weight and dimensions. With 2-stroke engines, both leaf blowers mandate an oil/fuel mix as part of their operation.
