Feel, Fuel & Noise

Because the Stihl BG 50 and the Husqvarna 125B are produced by separate manufacturers, there might be differences in their overall design and technological implementation.

These two products are handheld blowers and therefore provide you with superior mobility.
Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.
The Husqvarna 125B, with a weight of 9.4 lbs, stands well above the 7.9 lbs of the Stihl BG 50, meaning the heavier unit may feel more demanding to operate over time.
At 94 dB, the Husqvarna 125B produces a substantially louder noise compared to the 70 dB of the Stihl BG 50. 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

The Husqvarna 125B boasts a slightly higher CFM rating of 425 compared to the Stihl BG 50 (412 CFM), suggesting it may have a slight advantage in leaf-moving power.
The Husqvarna 125B with an MPH of 170 slightly exceeds the 159 MPH of the Stihl BG 50, making it more effective at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris (acorns, etc.).

Engine specs

The Husqvarna 125B features a larger fuel tank, offering 16.91 fl.oz. compared to the 14.5 fl.oz. of the Stihl BG 50. As a result, you have the advantage of storing more fuel, potentially extending runtime, assuming similar fuel consumption rates for their engines.
In contrast, the Stihl BG 50's engine, with a displacement of 27.2 cc, is slightly surpassed by the 28-cc 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 leaf blowers come with 2-stroke engines, which necessitate an oil/fuel mix for operation.
