Stihl BR 700 vs BR 350 - The Differences

Further down the page, you'll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Stihl BR 350 and the Stihl BR 700.

Stihl BR 350	Stihl BR 700

Higher MPH Less noisy Bigger fuel tank Far less expensive	Higher CFM 4-Mix engine

Feel, Fuel & Noise

Manufactured by Stihl, both the BR 350 and the BR 700 should uphold similar standards of quality and attention to detail.

Designed as backpack blowers, both products boast substantial engines and sizable fuel tanks, making them easy to carry for extended periods. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.
Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.
With 23.4 lbs versus 22 lbs, the Stihl BR 700 is only marginally heavier, and the small gap in weight is unlikely to make a noticeable difference in fatigue or maneuverability.
While the noise variation between the Stihl BR 700, recorded at 75 dB, and the Stihl BR 350, noted at 74 dB, seems marginal, it could still influence the operator and neighboring individuals.

CFM & MPH

In direct comparison, the Stihl BR 700, equipped with a CFM of 912, outshines the 436 CFM of the Stihl BR 350. Expect a remarkable upgrade in leaf blowing performance with the Stihl BR 700, as it delivers significantly greater airflow for quicker and more effective leaf removal.
With an MPH of 201, the Stihl BR 350 edges out the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700, potentially improving its performance in leaf blowing and debris lifting tasks.

Engine specs

With a fuel tank volume of 57.5 fl.oz., the Stihl BR 350 outshines the Stihl BR 700, which holds 47.3 fl.oz. This enables you to carry more fuel, offering the possibility of longer operation, provided the engines consume fuel at comparable rates.
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 700. 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 700 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
