Stihl BR 700 X vs BR 600 - The Differences

Further down the page, you'll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Stihl BR 600 and the Stihl BR 700 X.

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

Stihl BR 600	Stihl BR 700 X

Higher MPH Lighter Significantly less expensive	Higher CFM

Feel, Fuel & Noise

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

Manufactured as backpack blowers, these two products are equipped with large engines and spacious fuel tanks, offering comfortable carrying while you work. The throttle for both products is conveniently placed on the blower's tube, freeing up your left hand for other tasks.
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.
The Stihl BR 700 X, weighing 23 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.
At 75 dB, both devices are equally neighbor-friendly, ensuring that neither would cause undue disturbance, and equally gentle on your ears during operation.

CFM & MPH

The Stihl BR 700 X, boasting a CFM of 901, clearly outperforms the 677 CFM of the Stihl BR 600. With this higher CFM, the Stihl BR 700 X promises a vastly improved leaf blowing capability, allowing you to tackle larger areas with ease.
With an MPH of 238, the Stihl BR 600 moderately surpasses the 193 MPH of the Stihl BR 700 X, offering slightly superior airspeed for enhanced performance in blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris and wet leaves.

Engine specs

With matching fuel tank capacities of 47.3 fl.oz., both devices will need refilling at comparable rates.
These two products share an engine displacement of 64.8 cc, suggesting they might consume comparable amounts of fuel per stroke, potentially resulting in similar performance outputs. The leaf blowers have a 4-stroke engine. Both feature a Stihl 4-Mix engine design though, and therefore require an oil/fuel mix.
