Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• As the Stihl BR 200 and the Husqvarna 150BT do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary. 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 150BT with the CFM of 434 slightly exceeds the 400 CFM of the Stihl BR 200. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former blows leaves slightly more efficiently.
• You will find that the Husqvarna 150BT at the MPH of 251 outperforms the 150 MPH of the Stihl BR 200 and can blow leaves effortlessly in comparison to the latter.

Weight & Noise rating

• The Husqvarna 150BT, weighing 22.5 lbs, greatly outweighs the 12.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 200, and therefore could be significantly more demanding for you to operate.
• The Husqvarna 150BT produces 94 dB, which significantly outmatches the 70 dB of the Stihl BR 200, and thus will be a lot louder than the latter.

Engine specs comparison

• The Stihl BR 200 has a slightly larger fuel tank, with the volume of 35.5 fl.oz., compared to the 35.2 fl.oz. of the Husqvarna 150BT. Thus, it can store more fuel and you may theoretically operate it for slightly longer, if their engines had the same fuel requirements.
• The Stihl BR 200's engine displacement of 27.2 cc is dwarfed by the 50.2 cc of the Husqvarna 150BT. 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 Stihl BR 200 has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
