Feel, Fuel & Noise

Because the Echo PB-580H and the Husqvarna 150BT are produced by separate manufacturers, there might be differences in their overall design and technological implementation.

Manufactured as backpack blowers, these two products are equipped with large engines and spacious fuel tanks, offering comfortable carrying while you work. In the PB-580H, you'll find a hip throttle, whereas the 150BT offers a throttle on the blower tube, granting you the freedom to use your hand more easily. Whether you prefer the hip-mount or tube-mount is entirely up to your preference, and whether you prioritize ease of access or operational flexibility.
Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds, offering you the freedom of movement to tackle larger outdoor spaces with ease.
At 22.9 lbs, the Echo PB-580H just slightly outweighs the 22 lbs of the Husqvarna 150BT, potentially offering a touch more comfort in handling.
At 94 dB, the Husqvarna 150BT produces a substantially louder noise compared to the 70 dB of the Echo PB-580H. This means that the latter will provide a significantly quieter operation, ensuring greater comfort for you and minimizing noise impact on those around you.

CFM & MPH

In comparison, the Echo PB-580H, with a CFM of 517, beats the 452 CFM of the Husqvarna 150BT, making it the superior landscaping tool of the two, when it comes to the amount of leaves that can be blown per minute.
The MPH of the Husqvarna 150BT, at 270, modestly exceeds the 216 MPH of the Echo PB-580H, allowing it to blow leaves on grass or lift heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

With its generous 62 fl.oz. fuel tank, the Echo PB-580H 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.
In comparison, the engine displacement of the Husqvarna 150BT, at 51 cc, falls short of the 58.2 cc of the Echo PB-580H. This indicates that the latter might consume more fuel per stroke, thereby potentially delivering greater power. Both leaf blowers come with 2-stroke engines, which necessitate an oil/fuel mix for operation.
