Common specs comparison

Make & handling

  • Given that the Echo PB-2520 and the Stihl BG 50 come from distinct manufacturers, their construction and technological features may differ.
  • 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 Echo PB-2520 with a CFM of 453 slightly exceeds the 412 CFM of the Stihl BG 50. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
  • With an MPH of 170, the Echo PB-2520 edges out the 159 MPH of the Stihl BG 50, potentially improving its performance in leaf blowing and debris lifting tasks.

Weight & Noise rating

  • Weighing 8.8 lbs, the Echo PB-2520 tips the scales slightly above the 7.9 lbs of the Stihl BG 50, implying that while it's marginally heavier, users may still experience a touch more convenience in operation.
  • Both devices maintain a noise level of 70 dB, ensuring they're equally respectful of your neighbors' peace and equally pleasant for you to operate without excessive noise.

Engine specs comparison

  • The Echo PB-2520 boasts a larger fuel tank capacity, with 18.6 fl.oz., surpassing the 14.5 fl.oz. of the Stihl BG 50. Consequently, you can store more fuel, potentially extending operational time, assuming similar engine fuel consumption rates.
  • In contrast, the Echo PB-2520's engine, with a displacement of 25.4cc, is slightly surpassed by the 27.2cc engine of the Stihl BG 50. As a result, the latter may consume marginally more fuel per stroke, potentially resulting in a slight power advantage.
  • 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-2520 can vacuum leaves, so you'll need an alternative approach to collect them.
