Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• As the Echo PB-2520 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 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.
• The Echo PB-2520 with an MPH of 170 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 weight of the Echo PB-2520, which is 8.8 lbs, slightly exceeds the 7.9 lbs of the Stihl BG 50, and will therefore require you to carry around slightly more weight.
• Both devices have a noise rating of 70 dB. They should therefore be equally demanding on the ears.

Engine specs comparison

• The Echo PB-2520's fuel tank has a volume of 18.6 fl.oz., exceeding the 14.5 fl.oz. of the Stihl BG 50. Therefore, you may store more fuel in the device and theoretically operate it longer, if their engines are equally demanding.
• In comparison, the Echo PB-2520'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-2520 has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
