Common specs comparison

Make & handling

  • As the Echo PB-2620 and the Stihl BG 86 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-2620 with a CFM of 456 slightly exceeds the 444 CFM of the Stihl BG 86. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
  • The Stihl BG 86 with an MPH of 190 slightly exceeds the 172 MPH of the Echo PB-2620. 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

  • Both devices weigh 9.7 lbs. Thus, they will be similarly tough for you to operate.
  • Both devices have a noise rating of 70 dB. They should therefore be equally demanding on the ears.

Engine specs comparison

  • The Echo PB-2620's 20.3 fl.oz. fuel tank outmatches the Stihl BG 86's 14.9 fl.oz. You may fill it up with way more fuel and presumably run it longer, if both engines had the same fuel consumption.
  • In comparison, the Echo PB-2620's engine displacement of 25.4cc is slightly outperformed by the 27.2cc of the Stihl BG 86. 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 86 nor the Echo PB-2620 has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
