Hey everyone make it known what your favorite backpack leaf blower is! My personal favorite is my Husqvarna 350bt backpack blower. If conditions are dry I do not have to go past half throttle and leaves are really moving, and I am talking leaves that are at least 5 or 6 inches thick. If they are wet I do have to go almost WOT to have the same effect. Anyways tell us all your picks
Makita EB7660TH. Only real & decent four stroke on the market 🙂
Stihl.
I’m kinda fond of the ones my landscaper use… Lol
I have 2
Redmax 8500
Redmax 8050
Blows everything else away.
Only ever owned one, and it’s the Poulan Pro PP46BT. Got it for $200 and it definitely moves some leaves (even wet, same day it rained).
Mine should have to be a Stihl
Picked up a Stihl BR700 recently. It’s a beast that will spin you around when you open up the throttle.
Stihl BR450, love mine !!!!

Stihl the Husqvarna is good right? Pun intended.
Love the pun 😀
If you have a chance to try it the cordless Ego is awesome. After getting the snowblower this year all that’s left is the lawn mower.
still have a br550 thats beat up to hell stihl works.
Ego…
The Red Max and Husqvarna are both Husqvarna brands. I have the Husqvarna 580. The Red Max 8500 is basically the same blower. The only real difference is the harness. Based on advice on another thread that the Husky is more comfortable I checked them both out. My dealer carries both. I got good advice; The Husky is better padded and is more comfortable. The parts guy gets spares for both out of the same drawer. All of the several Husqvarna brands share a common parts data base. The thing is powerful. When I get tired of blowing leaves I am going to make a jet bike. LOL!!! There is actually some kick back.
