Feel, Fuel & Noise

Since the Stihl BR 700 and the Husqvarna 580BTS are made by different manufacturers, you may find variations in their overall construction and the technology employed.

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 - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds, offering you the freedom of movement to tackle larger outdoor spaces with ease.
With a weight of 26.8 lbs versus 23.4 lbs for the Stihl BR 700, the difference is modest but noticeable, and the lighter tool may feel a touch less tiring to use.
The Husqvarna 580BTS emits noise at 106 dB, markedly louder than the 75 dB of the Stihl BR 700. As a result, using the latter will be noticeably gentler on your ears and less likely to disrupt your neighbors.

CFM & MPH

The Husqvarna 580BTS with a CFM of 1000 slightly exceeds the 912 CFM of the Stihl BR 700. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
The MPH of the Husqvarna 580BTS, at 220, modestly exceeds the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700, allowing it to blow leaves on grass or lift heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

The Husqvarna 580BTS boasts a significantly larger fuel tank, holding 87.9 fl.oz. compared to the Stihl BR 700's 47.3 fl.oz. This allows for substantially more fuel storage and potentially longer operation, assuming similar fuel consumption rates for both engines. The lower fuel tank capacity of the Stihl BR 700 can be accounted for by its backpack handling. In contrast, the Husqvarna 580BTS's Handheld design allows you to comfortably carry a larger fuel tank’s weight and dimensions.
Comparatively, the Husqvarna 580BTS boasts an engine displacement of 75.6 cc, surpassing the 64.8 cc of the Stihl BR 700. As a result, it could use more fuel per stroke, offering increased power output. Each of these blowers requires a fuel/oil mix to operate, as the Husqvarna 580BTS features a 2-stroke engine, and the Stihl BR 700 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
