Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• 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.

CFM & MPH

• In comparison, the Echo PB-580H, at the CFM of 510, beats the 434 CFM of the Husqvarna 150BT, making it the superior landscaping tool of the two, as it can blow leaves rather more efficiently.
• 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 with landscaping more effectively.

Weight & Noise rating

• 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.

Engine specs comparison

• 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.

Other features comparison

Vacuum ability

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