Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the Stihl BR 600 and the Husqvarna 360BT do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.

• Handling: Designed as backpack blowers, both products boast substantial engines and sizable fuel tanks, making them easy to carry for extended periods. The throttle for both products is conveniently placed on the blower's tube, freeing up your left hand for other tasks.
• Power Source: Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.
• Weight:
  The Husqvarna 360BT, weighing 23.2 lbs, edges slightly above the 21.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 600, implying that while it's marginally heavier, you may notice a tad more comfort and ease in handling the latter.
• Noise: The Husqvarna 360BT emits noise at 97 dB, markedly louder than the 75 dB of the Stihl BR 600. As a result, using the latter will be noticeably gentler on your ears and less likely to disrupt your neighbors.

CFM & MPH

• CFM:
  With a marginal CFM advantage (677 vs 631 CFM), the Stihl BR 600 may offer a modest edge over the Husqvarna 360BT (631 CFM) in terms of leaf-moving capability.
• MPH: The MPH of 238 for the Stihl BR 600 slightly outperforms the 232 MPH of the Husqvarna 360BT, enhancing its effectiveness in clearing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris.

Engine specs

• Fuel Tank: The Husqvarna 360BT boasts a significantly larger fuel tank, holding 74.4 fl.oz. compared to the Stihl BR 600's 47.3 fl.oz. This allows for substantially more fuel storage and potentially longer operation, assuming similar fuel consumption rates for both engines.
• Engine: With engine displacements that are nearly indistinguishable, both products are expected to consume fuel at similar rates per stroke, thereby delivering comparable output. Each of these blowers requires a fuel/oil mix to operate, as the Husqvarna 360BT features a 2-cycle engine, and the Stihl BR 600 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.

Other features

• Vacuum Ability: With no leaf vacuuming functionality in either the Husqvarna 360BT or the Stihl BR 600, you'll have to find another way to gather leaves.
