Feel, Fuel & Noise

Belonging to the line of Stihl blowers, both the BR 350 and the BR 600 should have a shared standard of manufacturing and attention to detail.

These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their big engines and massive fuel tanks. You'll find the throttle positioned on the tube of both products, ensuring that your left hand remains unoccupied for other activities.
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.
The Stihl BR 350, at 22 lbs, is only slightly heavier than the Stihl BR 600 at 21.6 lbs, so most users should experience very similar comfort and handling from both.
Though the difference in noise levels between the Stihl BR 600, rating 75 dB, and the Stihl BR 350, standing at 74 dB, may seem insignificant, it could affect both the operator's comfort and nearby residents' tranquility.

CFM & MPH

The Stihl BR 600, featuring a CFM of 677, surpasses the 436 CFM of the Stihl BR 350. With its superior airflow, the Stihl BR 600 offers an enhanced leaf blowing experience, enabling you to achieve faster and more efficient results.
The MPH of the Stihl BR 600, at 238, modestly exceeds the 201 MPH of the Stihl BR 350, allowing it to blow leaves on grass or lift heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

The Stihl BR 350's fuel tank has a volume of 57.5 fl.oz., exceeding the 47.3 fl.oz. of the Stihl BR 600. Therefore, you may store more fuel in the device and theoretically operate it longer, if their engines are equally demanding.
In contrast, the Stihl BR 350's engine, with a displacement of 63.3 cc, is slightly surpassed by the 64.8-cc engine of the Stihl BR 600. As a result, the latter may consume marginally more fuel per stroke, potentially resulting in a slight power advantage. Each of these blowers requires a fuel/oil mix to operate, as the Stihl BR 350 features a 2-stroke engine, and the Stihl BR 600 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
