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. On both products, the throttle is situated on the blower tube, giving you the advantage of having your left hand available for other uses.
• 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

• The Stihl BR 700 with a CFM of 912 slightly exceeds the 901 CFM of the Stihl BR 700 X. Thus, in comparison, you may find that the former is able to move more leaves per minute.
• The Stihl BR 700 with an MPH of 197 slightly exceeds the 193 MPH of the Stihl BR 700 X. 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.).

Weight & Noise rating

• Weighing 23.4 lbs, the Stihl BR 700 tips the scales slightly above the 23 lbs of the Stihl BR 700 X, implying that while it's marginally heavier, users may still experience a touch more convenience in operation.
• With a noise rating of 75 dB for both devices, you can expect them to be equally considerate of your neighbors and equally comfortable for you to use.

Engine specs comparison

• The fuel tank size for both devices is 47.3 fl.oz., ensuring similar refueling requirements for each.
• The engine displacement of 64.8cc in both products indicates similar fuel consumption per stroke, potentially leading to equivalent performance capabilities.
• 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.
