Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the 125B and the 525BX are both Husqvarna blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.

Handling: As handheld blowers, both products grant you superior maneuverability wherever you need to work.
Power Source: gas-powered blowers, both products offer a dependable power source that can be refilled quickly, allowing you the mobility to cover extensive outdoor spaces without interruption.
Weight:
At 9.48 lbs, the Husqvarna 525BX just slightly outweighs the 9.4 lbs of the Husqvarna 125B, potentially offering a touch more comfort in handling.
Noise: Though the difference in noise levels between the Husqvarna 125B, rating 94 dB, and the Husqvarna 525BX, standing at 91 dB, may seem insignificant, it could affect both the operator's comfort and nearby residents' tranquility.

CFM & MPH

CFM:
With a marginal CFM advantage (459 vs 425 CFM), the Husqvarna 525BX may offer a modest edge over the Husqvarna 125B (425 CFM) in terms of leaf-moving capability.
MPH: The MPH of the Husqvarna 525BX, at 192, modestly exceeds the 170 MPH of the Husqvarna 125B, allowing it to blow leaves on grass or lift heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

Fuel Tank: The Husqvarna 125B features a larger fuel tank, offering 16.91 fl.oz. compared to the 15.22 fl.oz. of the Husqvarna 525BX. As a result, you have the advantage of storing more fuel, potentially extending runtime, assuming similar fuel consumption rates for their engines.
Engine: In contrast, the Husqvarna 525BX's engine, with a displacement of 25.4cc, is slightly surpassed by the 28cc engine of the Husqvarna 125B. As a result, the latter may consume marginally more fuel per stroke, potentially resulting in a slight power advantage. Both of these leaf blowers are equipped with 2-cycle engines, meaning they require an oil/fuel mix for operation.

Other features

Vacuum Ability: Both the Husqvarna 125B and the Husqvarna 525BX lack leaf vacuuming features, meaning you'll need to employ another method for leaf collection.
