Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the Echo PB-770T and the Stihl BR 700 do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.

Designed as backpack blowers, both products boast substantial engines and sizable fuel tanks, making them easy to carry for extended periods. Both products have their throttle located on the tube of the blower, which allows you to keep your left hand free.
Both products, gas blowers, offer a swift refill system, saving you time on refueling and allowing you to efficiently manage large outdoor spaces.
The Echo PB-770T, weighing 24.3 lbs, edges slightly above the 23.4 lbs of the Stihl BR 700, implying that while it's marginally heavier, you may notice a tad more comfort and ease in handling the latter.
Though the difference in noise levels between the Stihl BR 700, rating 75 dB, and the Echo PB-770T, standing at 74 dB, may seem insignificant, it could affect both the operator's comfort and nearby residents' tranquility.

CFM & MPH

In comparison, the Stihl BR 700, with a CFM of 912, beats the 756 CFM of the Echo PB-770T, making it the superior landscaping tool of the two, when it comes to the amount of leaves that can be blown per minute.
The MPH of the Echo PB-770T, at 234, modestly exceeds the 197 MPH of the Stihl BR 700, allowing it to blow leaves on grass or lift heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Engine specs

With its ample fuel capacity of 68.3 fl.oz., the Echo PB-770T surpasses the Stihl BR 700's 47.3 fl.oz. tank. This larger reservoir means more fuel on hand, potentially extending runtime, provided both engines consume fuel at similar rates.
When comparing engine displacements, the 64.8-cc engine of the Stihl BR 700 edges out the 63.3-cc engine of the Echo PB-770T. This indicates a potential slight increase in fuel consumption per stroke and a corresponding bump in power output. Each of these blowers requires a fuel/oil mix to operate, as the Echo PB-770T features a 2-stroke engine, and the Stihl BR 700 is powered by the Stihl 4-Mix 4-stroke engine.
