Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the BR 600 and the BR 700 X are both Stihl blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.

• Handling: These two products are constructed as backpack blowers, allowing you to comfortably carry their big engines and massive fuel tanks. On both products, the throttle is situated on the blower tube, giving you the advantage of having your left hand available for other uses.
• 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:
  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.
• Noise: 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

• CFM:
  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.
• MPH: The Stihl BR 600's MPH of 238 beats the 193 MPH of the Stihl BR 700 X. 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: 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.
• Engine: With matching engine displacements of 64.8cc, these products likely share similar fuel consumption rates per stroke, translating to comparable performance levels. 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

• Vacuum Ability: With no leaf vacuuming functionality in either the Stihl BR 600 or the Stihl BR 700 X, you'll have to find another way to gather leaves.
