As the Stihl BR 450 and the Husqvarna 360BT do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary. On both products, the throttle is situated on the blower tube, giving you the advantage of having your left hand available for other uses.
These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their big engines and massive fuel tanks.
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 Stihl BR 450 with a CFM of 642 slightly exceeds the 631 CFM of the Husqvarna 360BT. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
The Husqvarna 360BT with an MPH of 232 slightly exceeds the 219 MPH of the Stihl BR 450. 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.).

The Stihl BR 450, weighing 23.4 lbs, edges slightly above the 23.2 lbs of the Husqvarna 360BT, implying that while it's marginally heavier, you may notice a tad more comfort and ease in handling the latter.

With its ample fuel capacity of 74.4 fl.oz., the Husqvarna 360BT surpasses the Stihl BR 450's 57.5 fl.oz. tank. This larger reservoir means more fuel on hand, potentially extending runtime, provided both engines consume fuel at similar rates.
In contrast, the Stihl BR 450's engine, with a displacement of 63.3cc, is slightly surpassed by the 65.6cc engine of the Husqvarna 360BT. 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-cycle engines, which necessitate an oil/fuel mix for operation.
