Common specs comparison

Make & handling

  • Since the Echo PB-250LN and the Stihl BG 50 are made by different manufacturers, you may find variations in their overall construction and the technology employed.
  • 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, offering you the freedom of movement to tackle larger outdoor spaces with ease.

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, making it more effective at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris (acorns, etc.).

Weight & Noise rating

  • The Echo PB-250LN, weighing 9.5 lbs, outweighs the 7.9 lbs of the Stihl BG 50, demanding greater effort to handle and potentially leading to increased fatigue over time.
  • The Stihl BG 50 registers a noise rating of 70 dB, slightly above the 65 dB rating of the Echo PB-250LN. Opting for the Echo PB-250LN could result in a quieter experience for both you and your neighbors.

Engine specs comparison

  • The Echo PB-250LN boasts a slightly larger fuel tank, holding 15.9 fl.oz., in contrast to the 14.5 fl.oz. of the Stihl BG 50. This allows for longer operation and fewer interruptions for refueling, particularly beneficial if the engines have comparable fuel consumption rates.
  • When comparing engine displacements, the 27.2cc engine of the Stihl BG 50 edges out the 25.4cc engine of the Echo PB-250LN. This indicates a potential slight increase in fuel consumption per stroke and a corresponding bump in power output.
  • With 2-cycle engines, both leaf blowers mandate an oil/fuel mix as part of their operation.

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.
