ALL 21 STIHL BLOWERS - Reviewed & Compared here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oaugqJOiubS0lGw.html

I own both the Echo 9010 and the Stihl 800C and for blowing leaves, especially wet ones. There's no comparison. The Echo 9010 is a beast!!!

In Part 2 of this video, we discuss the Features, Comfortability, and Accessibility of these same backpack blowers. Check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7yTg5t13Zeud5s.html

Nice job ! Appreciate you taking the time to do this.

I’ve had my stihl 800 mag for two years, I’m still amazed by the power. Dry leaf’s,wet leaf’s, acorn’s, stick’s, snakes, and snow are not a problem for the 800. I have noticed that it doesn’t like cheap gas so I’ve been running mid-grade gas and premium mix in it and it’s help’s out greatly during the winter months during storage.

Al Blaze sent me. Thank you for supporting him and the great work that he does for the community. Now I am here to support your channel.

Loved the video 👏 👏 I own the Stihl BR800. I feel comfortable blowing the leaves here in Wisconsin. We are almost done for the season, I'm planning on getting the Echo 9010 for the next year after watching the video. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻great job, you guys 👏 👏

My motor just blew on my backpack blower I had last week so, I’ve been watching videos trying to figure out which brand is better and what model…. This video by far was the most informative! You guys are awesome…. I really appreciate y’all!

thanks for the great effort gentlemen. good job. i just finagled a husq560 used less than 10 times for $240. blown away by the performance. score!!

I decided on the echo 9010 today…. Just brought it home…. I love it, but holy crap is it loud! Thanks for helping me decide!

I remember using a stihl like that for lawn maintenance, fall clean ups, every thing. And I was amazed, just about every time I used it at how long I could run it on 1 tank!

This is the most entertaining comparison video I have seen. Really great job! I was leaning towards the Husqvarna, but thinking about the Stihl now. Heard too many comments about the noise level of the Echo to consider.

Personally I don’t have any experience using any of them except I own a 2018 Redmax EBZ 8500 and it’s great! Has tons of power and isn’t too heavy and fits comfortable. Fires up within 1-3 pulls even after its sat for months or is freezing cold. Super reliable machine. Only minor thing is i’de prefer a right handed trigger throttle setup instead of the odd hip throttle. But again the hip throttle offers less moving pieces that could potentially break so it’s even more reliable with the hip throttle so all around it’s a great machine and looks amazing too. I love the color and shape of it. Looking at getting a throttle conversion for it and getting a rack to mount it to my open 5x8 utility trailer!

So happy you made the comparison charts. First weigh in I looked to grab a pen and pad for notes then didn’t even need it

I have been using Echo PB 8010 since 2018 in harsh Canadian winter months. It is still going and I am happy that I bought Echo.

The Stihl looks like it has a tapered end. That would make a big difference in the battery test, as the air would be directed into a smaller, more powerful area.

I have a 9010 but want a lighter blower for yards. Especially in the summer when it’s over 100 degrees, that echo gets really heavy towards late afternoon. What would be a good pick, being lighter, while also keeping up with blowing off driveways. (Not having to stop and stand there because blower can’t keep up.)

Have an Echo PB8010T that's lights out awesome. Half the cleanup time of my last blower, less time, less fuel (not for it's efficiency but for it's speed), less hassle.

Man I was on the fence so long about what blower I should get to blow all my car batteries out of my driveway thank you so much for this video!

Great videos. Criminally underviewed

I've had a br800 and a echo 8010t the echo moved more leafs real world but its good to see red max is still competitors same with Husqvarna i had a smaller one was quiet and always started no issues never had a red max but have heard good things about them

i have had all the blowers to blow big piles of leaves echo beat stihl by far and by a lot of distance. the redmax and husky were about 1 foot less in the blowing distance then the echo 9010. on acorns the Stihl was great at getting them out of the grass compared to the others. In my opinion id buy a echo redmax or husky for leaf power and if you deal with a lot of acorns then use a Stihl for that if you don't deal with acorns a lot I would not waste the money on the Stihl and stay with echo redmax or husky but the echo is a lot louder then all the others and you definitely want hearing protection running the echo.

Awesome video! I've got a 9010 and a BR600. The only thing keeping me from switching to the BR800 is you can't see through the fuel tank on the Sthil. I know it's stupid, just fill it up every couple of jobs and forget about it, but it still bugs me every time I look at the 600.

Love this video great job

Take the 800 vs 9010.. 41 Newton's versus 47 Newtons. If 9010 finishes an hour long job 3 minutes faster than the 800. In 620 hrs it's finished 1,860 minutes faster or 31 hrs faster for the year. So if I bill out at 70$ per man hour I just made 2,170$ more in the same 620 period than the 800. $2170 - $623 (fuel cost difference) = 1547$ more profit in 620 hrs. Multiply that out by 5 9010s for the crew and that 7,735$ per year more revenue. We use BR600's for everyday use but the 90/80-10's come out in the Spring/Fall cleanups here in Michigan..

Great video! I'm in the market for one of these and your video really helped! Thank you!

Excellent presentation and editing on the video guys. About the only thing I thought could be added would be to actually drain/measure the fuel after the 32oz run time test was finished. Some fuel may have been left because of the pickup height and angle. Different models may have the pickup tilted or higher/lower when wearing the device . Your data still shows fuel efficiency. Either way, great job on the tests. I've only used Stihl backpack blowers in the past but would consider the Echo. Is there one manufacture you sell more blower repair parts for then others?

flipping awesome test thanks y'all !

I joined you guys channel because of what you did for our blades I think that was awesome especially for what he does for other people that need it and then tell me you guys are pretty classy I would I join your channel and will support you thank you and God bless you all

Al Bladez had me or asked us his viewers and fans to come and subscribe and give you all some love and thank you for helping him out it's an honor and a blessing to see to someone sponsor in help this young man out working it and bless others with his mowing and free cuts God bless

Echo all day for me, but I do have a BR 600 that I Ike after sidewalk edging, because of the smaller tube. I do think that the 9010 tube size hurt it for your tests. My buddy has a lawn business as well and he has the Br 700 & 800, and he agrees that for cleanups, his stilhs can't touch the echo 8010 & 9010. Overall great video. Thanks 👍🏾

good info. thanks!

love this show of true value in shop testing of great products ..

What about the Stihl BR 800 C-E blower with the pull start?

Thank you for giving Blade mower. He sent me to your channel!

Thanks for the info

Is there a warranty difference in these machines?

Would love to see the difference in leaves as that’s my #1 use case. Interesting info here I liked it.

I own the echo and the stihl 800x.. My favorite is stihl but the echo on leaves blows the stihl away. I've use to run red max but found they only lasted 1.5 then they lost power.

Really great comparison video guys, I sure learnt a lot and was surprised by the battery test results. Looks as if you can’t beat the Germans, the best fuel economy and the winner of the battery test.

Al Bladez sent me over to check out your channel. Al is well deserving of that mower. That was so kind of your company!

Just had my BR800 CE stolen from my van. along with everything else. Back to the drawing board for me wondering if there's better options now

21 years in this game. Pound for pound our firm moves more leaves and cuts more grass than any other. I have decades of experience with all of these blowers. Here are a few things that I know. Husqvarna and red max are the exact same blower just different color. Redundant test there. The most nimble blower is the Stihl. Most powerful blower is the Echo. The best all around blower is the Red Max. Pound for pound the Stihl is best. If you have young and strong team members the Echo is the best. Some of our older staff members prefer the Stihl or the mid model Echos. The best blower for you and your team is different based on your physical makeup as well as that of your team. Good luck.

Wow! Really interesting.

Thank You

Awesome video thank you guys for doing the work to help us all out

Doesn't the size of the opening at the end of the tube affect the amount of force exiting? Wider opening gives greater width distribution of force but less power at any given point. I have the Zenoah, the Japan distribution of Redmax. I love the hip control. It has been great, especially after putting in chest and hip straps for better stability on my back.

I agree with the facts I’ve had all these blowers in real world echo 9010 blows all them out the park and I’ve heard lesss fuel because clean ups were finished quicker

What about oil gas mixture maybe 🤔 it’s better with red Armour mix for the echo?

Used many blowers over the years, test are great but it's in the field where it counts. I personally wouldn't swap my 580BTS for anything! That said, if it died, I would consider the BR 800! As the Husky is soo reliable, it may be the BR1000 by then!

you forgot maintenance of adjusting valves and they self destruct with low hrs. and weird sound it makes.. i had br600.

Great video. How bout a STIHL BR350 vs HUSQVARNA 150BT?

In my opinion to have a good blower test is to bring them here in South Texas when we have the oak leafs and pollen and when it is wet that would be a good test on those blowers and I know which one would win the test.

As an owner of Echo I already knew the fuel economy was a sore spot, however though I have no regrets buying it I also am not a commercial user, other determining factors were parts availability and how many more places I can get echo parts as opposed to stihl.

maybe try different oils for fuel economy l use Amsoil Sabre at 100/1. thanks again great video 😌

While the battery test was fun I wouldn’t put too much weight in the results. It’s more of a user skill based test so it’s good to see they didn’t put too much weight in its results. Cool vid

Awesome! helped me decide on which unit I will go with.

Hey Al sent me over I see just in time to see which is the better blower 😊

Whats your opinion on the less expensive ECHO PB-580T vs the Husqvarna 150BT?

do you think there will ever be a battery powered leaf blower that will be better than a gas/petrol leaf blower?

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to make a great video. I was at Lowes today and looked at the Husqvarna 570 BTS and it was $70.00 off. I need a stronger blower for my property. I would like to see a video comparing some chainsaws. Thank you again for your videos.

Intresting the relationship between volume and pressure..

I own a Maruyama BL 8000 and its great tons of power !!! Paid around $ 500.00

Hey guys, I just watched AL Bladz video where you had given him a Toro mower. What a cool thing!

I have a Husqvarna 570BTS and it is a beast. Might throw on a Stihl or Echo backpack at some point for something different

I bought a 580 husky and took it back and bought a new echo cause my older 8010 echo would blow more leaves and sticks farther

Great video. One thing to note, the same person dominated the battery competition. Operator skill is too big a factor in that test.

Just got an echo 9010 What type of gas do I use for this blower?

Is there anyone that uses the Echo 9010 for everyday lawn care and leaf season, or would the 770T be more well rounded for that?

thx for this competition this was exactly what i was looking for...wau 500 Dollars per year that's alot...i know i wanted the stihl i know do know how much it is more efficient. I am still running my BR320 for more than two decades now. And it is still running fine. I guess it's time for the BR 800! Greetings from germany.

Have two Stihl Backpack Blower BR350 (2stroke) and BR650 (hybrid 4-stroke) both work great, but BR350 easier to start

The battery blow test is worthless in my opinion. I bought the 9010T Echo after running the Husqvarna 580 for about 8 years. That Husqvarna was built tough, fuel efficient and was still running strong when I sold it. The Echo 9010 blew its doors off when it comes to leaves and debris movement. One of my competitors bought the Stihl because of weight and fuel efficiency for his guys. We swapped blowers for a few lawns in the same area we were working. The Stihl did not come close to moving the volume of debris as the Echo. The Echo doesn't feel as heavy to me as advertised, but I'm a big guy. But the Stihl was noticeably lighter. I would even say more comfortable over Echo. Also the Echo is louder and sounds like a dirt bike. With that said, the echo improved my clean up times dramatically. I'm not talking 5 minutes, more like saving 15 minutes on average lawns I do being solo. The negatives of the 9010 after using it since it came out. No chest strap, if you're wearing a windbreaker etc type jacket, it wants to slide off no matter how you adjust it. The tube where you rotate wears easily and gets stuck and there's nothing offered for recall as far as I know. Fuel isn't really an issue. It knocks out jobs so fast I hardly run it more than a few mins on normal jobs and rarely at full throttle unless it's wet material. No need to. At the end of the day I value efficiency and time savings. But the older I get I value COMFORT even more. I've strongly been considering the Stihl for the lighter normal season stuff and reserving the Echo 9010 for the heavy load work. But I currently use the Echo daily along with the best hand held blower no longer made, the Hitachi. At the end of the day these blowers like all equipment are bought based on crew size, needs, properties and reliability and toughness. I think wise business owners need to run each of them before buying. What works for me, may not work for you.

Cool video and tests but how about testing them blowing grass and leaves? 🤷‍♂️

Why not include the Shindaiwa EB910-RT? The only blower that tries and throw the guys and myself off of roof when using it up there. I’ve used them all for my lawn, landscaping and tree businesses and none of them out power that blower. All of my other equipment is all Stiihl, including all my top end chainsaws.

Pretty good stihl commercial. Noticed all the stihl products you have in ur store.

Wehe is the carbon fiber echo

Now do a snow test since I use my br600 for snow more than leaves

I like everything about the Stihl except the 4 mix they use. It makes the engine slightly more complicated and requires valve adjustments. (time & $) My dad has the Stihl and I have the Husky. Both perform well and do the job. His Stihl did have to get a new short block under warranty soon after delivery as it developed a "knock" of some sort after only a few hours. Another important factor when choosing any equipment is the availability of service and parts. Some locales don't offer dealers or repair facilities for warranty of some brands. For example, where I live getting Shindaiwa or Redmax equipment serviced would be very difficult, particularly under warranty.

I agree the pb 9010t would win the force test because of the how much power compared to most backpack blowers. My favorite blower is redmax 8550. That was not 1,000 cfm 220mph to me that was the ebz 8550.

What about the valves on the stihl that needs to be adjusted and that is far more moving parts?

I own both and the echo 9010 is by far the the biggest baddest blower on the market 11/2023

I think a lot of these force tests are really just based on that carburateur tuning and fan rpm at full throttle.

Try the Schroeder back pack blower..German made

Maybe you should also switch sides for the echo and Redmax. I’ve heard a lot of great things about both echo and redmax and surprised of the results in this video

Echo is definitely the best! Battery blowing is definitely a poor test. Have had all the top blower’s and Echo is by far the best!

The battery across the floor test is *very* operator bias ! If you get the air flow under the battery it will shoot across the floor with ease

My echo is 4 1/2 years old and it is like day one

I like my blower work well echo.

If you want reliability go with RedMax I see a lot less RedMax coming into my shop to get repaired then I do Stihl an echo

For me the most important thing is do I have a dealer nearby that can service my gear. That's the brand I'll get. The top models are all good. I got a Stihl simply because that's what my closest dealer sold and what my buddies have so we can swap parts if we need. I'm just a homeowner so my experience is different.

The problem with the Echo is nobody can move the tube back and forth for long periods of time. The tube is very stiff and hard to sweep back and forth so the guys after about 15 minutes just hold it straight out and stop sweeping with it. That is when the other blowers start to pass it up in productivity. I have them all and the 800 is the most comfortable to use. Not saying it is the best but the guys all go for the 800

StihlBR800X is the better overall with those results especially fuel efficiency. You’d need to factor vibration to the user as well, but I’m gathering there’s not much of a difference, surprised Redmax was the dearest of them all. Warranty and services would need to be considered as well.

Stihl is built better. The others have exposed parts that can hook up or be knocked. Stihl every time for me. I hav3 the 800 with the hip pull start. A great addition.

That's where my stinkin' G2 blue pen went!

Every test was not a real comparison. The ECHO has the biggest motor so it would naturally run out first.. the battery test the fastest mph would win.. every time..then the pound test I think would be the most accurate but still not great.. it all matters how much work you get done in a given period of time.. that’s it

AL Blaze said I should say hey.😂

I run the red max 8550 for my landscaping company. They get the job done and I like them, but most importantly, the dealership I use for my mowers is a licensed redmax dealer and service center.

Echo is by far king of blowers! Light weight, strong asf and out lives Stihl blowers by a long shot.

Eu la uero saber quem é mqis caro ou gasta mais? Quero o que tem mais forca e me custara menos esforco e tempo

I’m everyday test I know what the echo can do it’s a monster blower I’m wanting to try out the new renews e
