Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the 150BT and the 560BTS are both Husqvarna blowers, they benefit from the same level 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.
With 23.25 lbs versus 22 lbs, the Husqvarna 560BTS is only marginally heavier, and the small gap in weight is unlikely to make a noticeable difference in fatigue or maneuverability.
While the noise variation between the Husqvarna 560BTS, recorded at 97 dB, and the Husqvarna 150BT, noted at 94 dB, seems marginal, it could still influence the operator and neighboring individuals.

CFM & MPH

In direct comparison, the Husqvarna 560BTS, equipped with a CFM of 631, outshines the 452 CFM of the Husqvarna 150BT. Expect a remarkable upgrade in leaf blowing performance with the Husqvarna 560BTS, as it delivers significantly greater airflow for quicker and more effective leaf removal.
The Husqvarna 150BT, with an MPH of 270, modestly outpaces the 232 MPH of the Husqvarna 560BTS, ensuring slightly quicker air expulsion for more efficient leaf blowing and debris lifting.

Engine specs

The Husqvarna 560BTS features a notably larger tank, accommodating 74.4 fl.oz. of fuel, compared to the Husqvarna 150BT's 42.6 fl.oz. capacity. This allows for greater fuel storage, which could translate to extended operation, assuming both engines use fuel at similar rates. The lower fuel tank capacity of the Husqvarna 150BT can be accounted for by its Handheld handling. In contrast, the Husqvarna 560BTS's backpack design allows you to comfortably carry a larger fuel tank’s weight and dimensions.
Comparatively, the Husqvarna 560BTS boasts an engine displacement of 65.5 cc, surpassing the 51 cc of the Husqvarna 150BT. As a result, it could use more fuel per stroke, offering increased power output. These leaf blowers are both powered by 2-stroke engines, requiring an oil/fuel mix to function.
