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.

But before checking out these explanations, here's a table that summarizes the main pros of each of these 2 leaf blowers:

Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the BR 350 and the BR 700 are both Stihl blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.

These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their big engines and massive fuel tanks. The throttle for both products is conveniently placed on the blower's tube, freeing up your left hand for other tasks.
gas-powered blowers, both products offer a dependable power source that can be refilled quickly, allowing you the mobility to cover extensive outdoor spaces without interruption.
The Stihl BR 700, weighing 23.4 lbs, edges slightly above the 22 lbs of the Stihl BR 350, implying that while it's marginally heavier, you may notice a tad more comfort and ease in handling the latter.
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

The Stihl BR 700, boasting a CFM of 912, clearly outperforms the 436 CFM of the Stihl BR 350. With this higher CFM, the Stihl BR 700 promises a vastly improved leaf blowing capability, allowing you to tackle larger areas with ease.
The Stihl BR 350 with an MPH of 201 slightly exceeds the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700. 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.).

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.
When comparing engine displacements, the 64.8-cc engine of the Stihl BR 700 edges out the 63.3-cc engine of the Stihl BR 350. This indicates a potential slight increase in fuel consumption per stroke and a corresponding bump in power output. 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.
