Common specs comparison

Manufactured by Stihl, both the BR 200 and the BR 350 should uphold similar standards of quality and attention to detail. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.
These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their big engines and massive fuel tanks.
Both products are gas-powered blowers, providing a reliable power source that can be refilled in seconds, granting you the flexibility to navigate through expansive outdoor areas effortlessly.

While the difference is slight, the Stihl BR 350's CFM rating of 436 marginally outpaces the 400 CFM of the Stihl BR 200, potentially resulting in a subtle improvement in leaf-clearing performance.
At an MPH of 201, the Stihl BR 350 clearly outmatches the 150 MPH of the Stihl BR 200, delivering exceptional performance in tasks such as blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet leaves and heavy debris.

The Stihl BR 350, weighing 22 lbs, markedly exceeds the 12.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 200, which could result in greater user exertion and the need for additional strength during operation.
The Stihl BR 350 registers a noise rating of 74 dB, slightly above the 70 dB rating of the Stihl BR 200. Opting for the Stihl BR 200 could result in a quieter experience for both you and your neighbors.

The Stihl BR 350 boasts a significantly larger fuel tank, holding 57.5 fl.oz. compared to the Stihl BR 200's 35.5 fl.oz. This allows for substantially more fuel storage and potentially longer operation, assuming similar fuel consumption rates for both engines.
The Stihl BR 200's engine displacement of 27.2cc is dwarfed by the 63.3cc of the Stihl BR 350. While the latter uses way more fuel per stroke, it is in turn far more powerful.
With 2-cycle engines, both leaf blowers mandate an oil/fuel mix as part of their operation.

Neither the Stihl BR 200 nor the Stihl BR 350 can vacuum leaves, so you'll need an alternative approach to collect them.
