Common specs comparison

Make & handling

• Belonging to the line of Stihl blowers, both the BR 700 and the BR 700 X should have a shared standard of manufacturing and attention to detail. The throttle for both products is conveniently placed on the blower's tube, freeing up your left hand for other tasks.
• Engineered as backpack blowers, these two products feature sizeable engines and large fuel tanks, ensuring comfortable carrying during operation.
• 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

• While the difference is slight, the Stihl BR 700's CFM rating of 912 marginally outpaces the 901 CFM of the Stihl BR 700 X, potentially resulting in a subtle improvement in leaf-clearing performance.
• The Stihl BR 700 with an MPH of 197 slightly exceeds the 193 MPH of the Stihl BR 700 X, making it more effective at blowing leaves on grass or lifting wet debris (acorns, etc.).

Weight & Noise rating

• The Stihl BR 700, weighing 23.4 lbs, edges slightly above the 23 lbs of the Stihl BR 700 X, 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.

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.
• 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 comparison

Vacuum ability

Neither the Stihl BR 700 nor the Stihl BR 700 X has the ability to vacuum leaves. Thus, you will require another method of leaf collection.
