Feel, Fuel & Noise

Belonging to the line of Husqvarna blowers, both the 580BTS and the 590BTS should have a shared standard of manufacturing and attention to detail.

Engineered as backpack blowers, these two products feature sizeable engines and large fuel tanks, ensuring comfortable carrying during operation. You'll find the throttle positioned on the tube of both products, ensuring that your left hand remains unoccupied for other activities.
Both products are gas-powered blowers, providing a reliable power source that can be refilled in seconds, granting you the flexibility to navigate through expansive outdoor areas effortlessly.
The Husqvarna 580BTS, at 26.8 lbs, is only slightly heavier than the Husqvarna 590BTS at 26.2 lbs, so most users should experience very similar comfort and handling from both.
The Husqvarna 580BTS emits a noise level of 106 dB, significantly louder than the 81 dB of the Husqvarna 590BTS. This difference means that the latter will provide a much quieter experience for you and be less likely to disturb your neighbors.

CFM & MPH

Comparatively, the Husqvarna 590BTS boasts a CFM of 1245, surpassing the 1000 CFM of the Husqvarna 580BTS, positioning it as the more effective choice for clearing leaves in a shorter amount of time.
The Husqvarna 580BTS with an MPH of 220 slightly exceeds the 216 MPH of the Husqvarna 590BTS. 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.).

Engine specs

The Husqvarna 590BTS's larger fuel tank, holding 91.3 fl.oz., has the potential to provide longer usage periods, assuming similar engine efficiency to the Husqvarna 580BTS.
When comparing engine displacements, the 79.4-cc engine of the Husqvarna 590BTS edges out the 75.6-cc engine of the Husqvarna 580BTS. This indicates a potential slight increase in fuel consumption per stroke and a corresponding bump in power output. These leaf blowers are both powered by 2-stroke engines, requiring an oil/fuel mix to function.
