Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• Belonging to the line of Stihl blowers, both the BR 600 and the BR 700 should have a shared standard of manufacturing and attention to detail. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.
• Engineered as backpack blowers, these two products feature sizeable engines and large fuel tanks, ensuring comfortable carrying during operation.
• 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

• In direct comparison, the Stihl BR 700, equipped with a CFM of 912, outshines the 677 CFM of the Stihl BR 600. 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.
• The MPH of the Stihl BR 600, at 238, modestly exceeds the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700, allowing it to blow leaves on grass or lift heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Weight & Noise rating

• The Stihl BR 700, weighing 23.4 lbs, edges slightly above the 21.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 600, implying that while it's marginally heavier, you may notice a tad more comfort and ease in handling the latter.
• 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.

Engine specs comparison

• Both devices have an identical fuel tank size of 47.3 fl.oz. They will therefore require you to refill them at roughly same rates.
• These two products share an engine displacement of 64.8cc, suggesting they might consume comparable amounts of fuel per stroke, potentially resulting in similar performance outputs.
• The leaf blowers have a 4-cycle engine. Both feature a Stihl 4-Mix engine design though, and therefore require an oil/fuel mix.

Other features comparison

Vacuum ability

Neither the Stihl BR 600 nor the Stihl BR 700 has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
