Common specs comparison

Make & handling

Because the Echo PB-2620 and the Stihl BG 86 are produced by separate manufacturers, there might be differences in their overall design and technological implementation.
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-2620 boasts a slightly higher CFM rating of 456 compared to the Stihl BG 86 (444 CFM), suggesting it may have a slight advantage in leaf-moving power.
The Stihl BG 86 with an MPH of 190 slightly exceeds the 172 MPH of the Echo PB-2620, making it more effective at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris (acorns, etc.).

Weight & Noise rating

Both products have the same weight of 9.7 lbs, ensuring a consistent level of ease when handling and maneuvering.
At 70 dB, both devices are equally neighbor-friendly, ensuring that neither would cause undue disturbance, and equally gentle on your ears during operation.

Engine specs comparison

With its generous 20.3 fl.oz. fuel tank, the Echo PB-2620 outstrips the Stihl BG 86, which holds 14.9 fl.oz. of fuel. This disparity means more fuel available for longer runtime, assuming comparable fuel consumption rates between the two engines.
Comparatively, the engine displacement of the Echo PB-2620 at 25.4cc falls slightly behind the 27.2cc of the Stihl BG 86. Consequently, the latter might utilize a tad more fuel per stroke, yielding a slight increase 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

While the Echo PB-2620 lacks this feature, the Stihl BG 86 serves as a versatile leaf vacuum, simplifying leaf cleanup with its convenient and less-messy approach, especially useful when tackling extensive leaf piles.
