Feel, Fuel & Noise

Manufactured by Stihl, both the BR 600 and the BR 700 should uphold similar standards of quality and attention to detail.

• Handling: Manufactured as backpack blowers, these two products are equipped with large engines and spacious fuel tanks, offering comfortable carrying while you work. You'll find the throttle positioned on the tube of both products, ensuring that your left hand remains unoccupied for other activities.
• Power Source: Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.
• Weight:
  At 23.4 lbs compared with 22.3 lbs for the Stihl BR 600, the weight difference is minimal, so either option should feel nearly the same in day-to-day use.
• Noise: Both devices have a noise rating of 75 dB, ensuring they would neither cause significantly more disturbance to neighbors than the other, nor be noticeably louder to the operator's ears.

CFM & MPH

• CFM:
  The Stihl BR 700, featuring a CFM of 912, surpasses the 677 CFM of the Stihl BR 600. With its superior airflow, the Stihl BR 700 offers an enhanced leaf blowing experience, enabling you to achieve faster and more efficient results.
• MPH: The Stihl BR 600's MPH of 238 beats the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

• Fuel Tank: With matching fuel tank capacities of 47.3 fl.oz., both devices will need refilling at comparable rates.
• Engine: With matching engine displacements of 64.8 cc, these products likely share similar fuel consumption rates per stroke, translating to comparable performance levels. The leaf blowers have a 4-stroke engine. Both feature a Stihl 4-Mix engine design though, and therefore require an oil/fuel mix.

Other features

• Vacuum Ability: Neither the Stihl BR 600 nor the Stihl BR 700 can vacuum leaves, so you'll need an alternative approach to collect them.
