Common specs comparison

Given that the Echo PB-580T and the Stihl BR 700 come from distinct manufacturers, their construction and technological features may differ. 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.

The Stihl BR 700, boasting a CFM of 912, clearly outperforms the 517 CFM of the Echo PB-580T. With this higher CFM, the Stihl BR 700 promises a vastly improved leaf blowing capability, allowing you to tackle larger areas with ease.
The Echo PB-580T with an MPH of 216 slightly exceeds the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700. 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 Stihl BR 700, at 23.4 lbs, slightly exceeds that of the 22.7 lbs Echo PB-580T, which means you may experience slightly less fatigue and find it easier to maneuver during prolonged use.
At 75 dB, the noise rating of the Stihl BR 700 surpasses that of the Echo PB-580T, which stands at 70 dB. Therefore, choosing the Echo PB-580T could offer a quieter environment 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 700'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.
The Echo PB-580T's engine, with a displacement of 58.2cc, is smaller than the 64.8cc engine of the Stihl BR 700. This implies that the latter might require more fuel per stroke, thus delivering higher 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 700 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
