Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• As the BR 600 and the BR 700 are both Stihl blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail. On both products, the throttle is situated on the blower tube, giving you the advantage of having your left hand available for other uses.
• Manufactured as backpack blowers, these two products are equipped with large engines and spacious fuel tanks, offering comfortable carrying while you work.
• Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.

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

• Weighing 23.4 lbs, the Stihl BR 700 tips the scales slightly above the 21.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 600, implying that while it's marginally heavier, users may still experience a touch more convenience in operation.
• Both devices maintain a noise level of 75 dB, ensuring they're equally respectful of your neighbors' peace and equally pleasant for you to operate without excessive noise.

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.
• The engine displacement of 64.8cc in both products indicates similar fuel consumption per stroke, potentially leading to equivalent performance capabilities.
• 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

Both the Stihl BR 600 and the Stihl BR 700 lack leaf vacuuming features, meaning you'll need to employ another method for leaf collection.
