Common specs comparison

Because the Echo PB-580T and the Stihl BR 600 are produced by separate manufacturers, there might be differences in their overall design and technological implementation. 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 big engines and massive fuel tanks.
Both products are gas-powered blowers, providing a reliable power source that can be refilled in seconds, granting you the flexibility to navigate through expansive outdoor areas effortlessly.

The Stihl BR 600, featuring a CFM of 677, surpasses the 517 CFM of the Echo PB-580T. With its superior airflow, the Stihl BR 600 offers an enhanced leaf blowing experience, enabling you to achieve faster and more efficient results.
The Stihl BR 600 with an MPH of 238 slightly exceeds the 216 MPH of the Echo PB-580T. Thus, in comparison, the former expels air at a slightly higher speed, and should do a better job at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet leaves and debris (acorns, etc.).

The weight of the Echo PB-580T, at 22.7 lbs, slightly exceeds that of the 21.6 lbs Stihl BR 600, which means you may experience slightly less fatigue and find it easier to maneuver during prolonged use.
The noise rating of the Stihl BR 600 at 75 dB exceeds that of the Echo PB-580T at 70 dB. Consequently, opting for the Echo PB-580T may provide a more comfortable experience for both you and your neighbors.

The Echo PB-580T features a notably larger tank, accommodating 62 fl.oz. of fuel, compared to the Stihl BR 600's 47.3 fl.oz. capacity. This allows for greater fuel storage, which could translate to extended operation, assuming both engines use fuel at similar rates.
In comparison, the engine displacement of the Echo PB-580T, at 58.2cc, falls short of the 64.8cc of the Stihl BR 600. This indicates that the latter might consume more fuel per stroke, thereby potentially delivering greater power.
Each of these blowers requires a fuel/oil mix to operate, as the Echo PB-580T features a 2-cycle engine, and the Stihl BR 600 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.

Neither the Stihl BR 600 nor the Echo PB-580T can vacuum leaves, so you'll need an alternative approach to collect them.
