Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• As the Stihl BG 50 and the Husqvarna 125B do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.
• These two products are handheld blowers and therefore provide you with superior mobility.
• 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 125B with a CFM of 425 slightly exceeds the 412 CFM of the Stihl BG 50. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
• The Husqvarna 125B with an MPH of 170 slightly exceeds the 159 MPH of the Stihl BG 50. Thus, in comparison, the former expels air at a slightly higher speed, and should do a better job at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet leaves and debris (acorns, etc.).

Weight & Noise rating

• The heavier Husqvarna 125B, standing at 9.4 lbs, dwarfs the 7.9 lbs of the Stihl BG 50, and may be more physically demanding to operate.
• The Husqvarna 125B produces 94 dB, which is significantly higher than the 70 dB of the Stihl BG 50. Thus, the latter will be much easier on your ears.

Engine specs comparison

• The Husqvarna 125B's fuel tank has a volume of 16.91 fl.oz., exceeding the 14.5 fl.oz. of the Stihl BG 50. Therefore, you may store more fuel in the device and theoretically operate it longer, if their engines are equally demanding.
• In comparison, the Stihl BG 50's engine displacement of 27.2cc is slightly outperformed by the 28cc of the Husqvarna 125B. This suggests that the latter consumes slightly larger amounts of fuel per stroke and will provide you with slightly more power.
• 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
