#69 Stihl BR 800X vs BR 700X vs BR 600 - Leaf Blower Review - Best Leaf Blower

[@kylecouture1917]

If you are going to spend over 500 on a blower, you might as well just spend the extra money and get the 800. I just bought one myself. First time home buyer with .78 acre and tons of trees. I didnt want to regret not spending an extra 120 or something for more power.

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

Stihl make excellent leaf blowers, I've used many over the years and they have always been great. I currently use a Husqvarna 580 BTS, which is also excellent! Personally, I think Stihl and Husqvarna, make the best equipment on the market, you can't go wrong with either brand!!!

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

I agree. I too have used both. I do prefer the Stihl stuff mainly because of the dealer support.

[@Born2doom]

It all depends on who’s got the most dealers in your area! I’m not brand loyal and use both Echo and Stihl! Stihl I only use for chainsaws!

[@stancejka7738]

Just got the 800 C and the "C"omfort features are awesome and IMO are far better than the X without them. Keep it tuned up and the side start works like a champ.

[@geomark8851]

The hip belt is wonderful and takes almost all the weight off of the shoulders! The Easy-Start is convenient once you learn that you don't have to jerk the cord. I start mine on the ground and let it warm up. I stop it then strap it on and then start it again - so easy!

[@markclark1605]

This guy made a good choice period. The 600 is good also too. What sold me between the 800x vs the 800c is the weight reduction by all means helps too.

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

Totally agree. Love these blowers. Use mine year round.

[@jakubhostinsky4482]

I watched about 50 leaf blowing videos but yours is the nicest.

[@johnlegge572]

I’m in the middle of doing my research, so great timing. I was so hoping you were going to pick the 600, because that’s where I’m leaning right now. Glad to see you back - I hope you’re doing well.

[@bradd.6157]

Get the 800. It's a lot more powerful than the 600 - really not even close.

[@bluvoodoo1142]

Go 800. I also take care of 2 acres and have a lot of leaves. This thing is a beast but if it had even more power I would take it. When leaves are dry things go well. When they are damp or wet you'll be wishing for that extra power the 800 has.

[@ccrx2640]

@@bradd.6157 I have both and the 800 really shines once the leaf pile gets above your knees… but up until that point they are fairly equal.

[@alexthebest1401]

BR600 is extremely reliable for small medium applications

[@MrTinMan34]

Thank you for this video I still may go with 450 but that 700 was great info you provided! 800 looks awesome but way out of price range! 🤠👍

[@smallengine]

Did you end up getting one? I have a 450 and the 800c and they are both great, the 450 is an amazing bang for the buck.

[@jgs988]

Just purchased the 600 and it works awesome.

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

My buddy has one and he too love it. Great proven blower.

[@glasswinder]

I just got a 600 and used it for the first time today and it did a good job. I have spent 6 hours with a hand held. I was finished in 2 hours with this 600. I happy 🎉

[@TheDriftlessHomestead]

I bought the 800, works on the back fine. I'm a big guy and it's so strong it wears my arm out and I'm a big guy. The restrictor cone really increases the speed.

[@appleztooranges]

I went with br800X as well. First blower ever owned

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

Awesome. I love these leaf blowers. So fun and useful. Works really well on snow believe it or not.

[@appleztooranges]

@@timbertimeoutdoors9836 only thing I worry about is the valve adjustments

Great review, thank you. I owned a Stihl chainsaw several years ago and it was amazing, you'll have plenty of years of reliable service with this awesome unit😁

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

Thanks, Really love this blower. My buddy has the 600. its good as well.

[@CARNIVALVISTA275]

I bought the 800X in December and love it. I just took it out for a run and still works awesome, happy I got this blower

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

I use this blower all the time. Year round usage was not expected but love that. Helps justify the higher cost.

[@CARNIVALVISTA275]

@@timbertimeoutdoors9836 yeah but also the part that it's magnum, super awesome

[@CARNIVALVISTA275]

@@timbertimeoutdoors9836 also another question, why did you pick the 700X instead of the original 700?

[@johnclark5153]

I own all 3. The 800 is by far the best. I hope that they will come out with a 1000. I forgot to mention that it burns up a lot of fuel. Cheaper to mix your own premium gas. The premix will run you broke.

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

Yes, it is very thirsty.

[@DawnJiang-kd6me]

@@timbertimeoutdoors9836 They will possibly come out with a br 900.

[@robertyoung1777]

I have a 600. Consider the impact of more weight on your knees.

[@TheFracturedfuture]

The br 800 is only about 2 pounds heavier than the br 600.

[@AlwaysBeSmart674]

@@TheFracturedfuture that’s a lot when it’s on ur back and there’s already so much weight. The 600 starts to wear on me after a hour

[@therrienmichael08]

I am typically wearing it for just a few minutes. There are a couple jobs with 3 to 4 lots in a row then it gets challenging to hump it around with sucky twisted straps.

[@davt8615]

600 is best of the bunch

[@CKID-dv8tq]

I have a 700 and it’s a very well built machine !

[@chrisbiggers4017]

I am researching this blower, so thank you for the video! I was told by a Stihl mechanic that when running a leaf blower it's best to run it wide open throttle all the time. Any opinion on that?

[@fernandodelasancha6328]

Great job 👏 I liked the video. I own a BR 800, and I'm very happy with its performance. Hopefully, Stihl will come out with a bigger and more powerful than the Echo 9010 ( I heard it's much better than the BR800)

Rumor is a BR1000. That would be amazing

I am a Stihl Dealer, and I own the 600. It’s all we need. Great blower

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

My buddy just bought the 600 and loves it. Couldn't get the 800. Out of stock. He is happy.

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

I purchased the BR 600 in 2015, it was the top of the range backpack blower in the Stihl catalog at the time. I've never had any engine trouble with it and it's performed flawlessly over the last seven years. That being said there are some things that I don't like about it. The most annoying and biggest design flaw on the BR 600 is the tube adjustment. It's terrible to be honest, I had to file some of the plastic protusions down so I could get the tube extension on and off for storage purposes. The orange plastic locking collar on the B.R 800 looks to be the solution. Also there isn't a chest strap on the B.R 600 which would link the two shoulder straps together. Also the waist belt sits too high up, it's more of a belly band. The waist belt should ride lower on the hips with the buckle in front of the buckle on your trouser belt. I have a buyer for my B.R 600 and will be buying the B.R 800CE. The electric start looks great plus the tube adjustment and harness improvements, 👍🌲🇮🇪

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

My buddy just got a 600. He love it.

[@therrienmichael08]

I need the C model with the side start. So many customers feel the need to come chat while using the back pack blower...

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

Yes. If that happens to you, defiantly go with the C. Works good. I didn't need it but at times wish I had it. Very cool feature.

[@irchrisb]

I rented a BR800X for the weekend last year to do about 2 acres. After 4 hours, I was wishing I had the comfort features.

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

I love my BR800. Back saver!

[@patmason7276]

700 is all you need but we have alot of big piles to move have the 800 X. The 800 C side start has toooo many issues.

[@Alex.AL_26]

Excellent choice with the Br800X, the C version with the side start is horrible, I used it a few times and it is very difficult to start.

[@theamerican7080]

Good to know. I've never been in a situation where I would make use of the side-start feature.

[@ccrx2640]

Echo 9010 power and pricewise. In Hickory NC myself.

[@timbertimeoutdoors9836]

I love my Stihl. Just don't have experience with the Echos. My Neighbor has a smaller Echo. Likes it. I love the support you get with Stihl. Dealer network is great.

[@briantii]

Echo PB9010T is the most powerful. BR800 is more fuel efficient, lighter, and quieter. I went with the 800c as I like Stihl stuff and we’re already in the crazy powerful realm of blowers here. Plus I really like the 4mix engines over the old w stroke stuff

Thanks for the sub! my buddy just got the 600. going to try to do a vid showing the 600 vs the 800.

[@herewegoagain4041]

The br800 is the best. Here's why I say this. The changeable tip is what makes it universal. If you remove the tip you have leaf pile mover. Put the factory tip and now u can move boulders. Purchase the br450 tip and now you have lawn service clean-up. With the br450 tip you can idle and clean mulch beds without removing the mulch. Just idling removes light grass clippings and leaves.

[@cb7pwn]

I've used br600 and Br600 magnums over the last decade, cany really need for much more power. Very reliable too!, when using premium gas and 40-1 mix... The br 800 is overpriced imo
