Common specs comparison

As the Echo PB-580H and the Husqvarna 150BT do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary. The PB-580H has a hip throttle, whereas the 150BT's throttle is located on the tube of the blower and allows you to free your left hand. Whether the hip-mount or the tube-mount is better is a matter of personal preference.
These two products are constructed as backpack 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.

In comparison, the Echo PB-580H, with a CFM of 510, beats the 434 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 Husqvarna 150BT's MPH of 251 beats the 215 MPH of the Echo PB-580H. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

The weight of the Echo PB-580H, which is 22.9 lbs, slightly exceeds the 22.5 lbs of the Husqvarna 150BT, and will therefore require you to carry around slightly more weight.
The Husqvarna 150BT produces 94 dB, which significantly outmatches the 70 dB of the Echo PB-580H, and thus will be a lot louder than the latter.

The Echo PB-580H's 62 fl.oz. fuel tank outmatches the Husqvarna 150BT's 35.2 fl.oz. You may fill it up with way more fuel and presumably run it longer, if both engines had the same fuel consumption.
When compared, the Husqvarna 150BT's engine displacement at 50.2 cc is lesser than the 58.2 cc of the Echo PB-580H. Therefore, the second may consume more fuel per stroke and is in turn be 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.

Neither the Husqvarna 150BT nor the Echo PB-580H has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
