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. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.
• These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their powerful engines and massive fuel tanks.
• Both products are gas-powered blowers - gas is a reliable power source which you can refill in a matter of seconds.

CFM & MPH

• The Stihl BR 700, providing a CFM of 912, outmatches the 677 CFM of the Stihl BR 600. Your leaf blowing experience will therefore be outstandingly improved with the Stihl BR 700, as it should be able to move considerably more leaves per minute.
• 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.

Weight & Noise rating

• The weight of the Stihl BR 700, which is 23.4 lbs, slightly exceeds the 21.6 lbs of the Stihl BR 600, and will therefore require you to carry around slightly more weight.
• Both devices have a noise rating of 75 dB. They should therefore be equally demanding on the 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 have an identical engine displacement of 64.8cc. Thus, they consume comparable amounts of fuel per stroke and will provide you with similar output.
• 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.
