Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• As the Echo PB-250LN and the Stihl BG 50 do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.
• These two products are handheld blowers and therefore provide you with superior mobility.
• Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds.

CFM & MPH

• The Stihl BG 50 with a CFM of 412 slightly exceeds the 391 CFM of the Echo PB-250LN. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
• The Echo PB-250LN with an MPH of 165 slightly exceeds the 159 MPH of the Stihl BG 50. 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.).

Weight & Noise rating

• The heavier Echo PB-250LN, standing at 9.5 lbs, dwarfs the 7.9 lbs of the Stihl BG 50, and may be more physically demanding to operate.
• The Stihl BG 50's noise rating of 70 dB exceeds the 65 dB of the Echo PB-250LN. Therefore, the Echo PB-250LN will be easier on your (and your neighbor's) ears.

Engine specs comparison

• The Echo PB-250LN has a slightly larger fuel tank, with the volume of 15.9 fl.oz., compared to the 14.5 fl.oz. of the Stihl BG 50. Thus, it can store more fuel and you may theoretically operate it for slightly longer, if their engines had the same fuel requirements.
• In comparison, the Echo PB-250LN's engine displacement of 25.4cc is slightly outperformed by the 27.2cc of the Stihl BG 50. This suggests that the latter consumes slightly larger amounts of fuel per stroke and will provide you with slightly more power.
• Each of these leaf blowers features a 2-cycle engine. Thus, they both require you to have an oil/fuel mix to operate.

Other features comparison

Vacuum ability

Neither the Stihl BG 50 nor the Echo PB-250LN has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
