Husqvarna 150 BT Backpack Blower - Unboxing

[@bigguy1403]

I got to use mine yesterday for first time. It was $299 on Amazon and I purchased the fuel to bring my warranty to 5 years. That's a no brainer. I also added another middle tube which brings it closer to the ground when I need to get those stubborn leaves and sticks out between the rocks. First start took 4 pulls. Works great tons of power.

I’ve had mine for about 4 years now using it for commercial use and it’s still going strong no issues so far

[@bretlange969]

i was sold on the 150bt i did lots of research and seen many videos and had the 150 in my cart at lows for 199$ but something told me to say **** it and get the 570 for 499 and i have no regrets. the 570 is a absolute beast turns what i believe would have been a 4 hr job into a 1.5 hr job. i went from a 27cc hand held blower to a 65cc back pack.

Good job there Nathaniel...

First video I watched of y’all’s. Told me everything I wanted to know! Thanks guys.

Awesome! Thank you!

You'll get years out of it. I bought one in 2009 and it's still going strong.....and on the original spark plug. I did notice it was a little hard to start the other day on it's first start of the season so it may be time to change the plug! Never had to clean the carb and I always used ethanol gas since new. Granted I only used it for my own property but it is was also a community lender so on average 3 to 4 large mountain lots done a couple times a year.

I can testify that these things are tanks. We've got 2 and they have held up well. Over 5 years in great service for us. I mix my own fuel and never had a problem. If there's a better blower out there for the money, it must be really good! Would buy again, twice over.

[@minthillbilly]

Good to hear that feedback. We have been very pleased so far with the performance too. Have a great day!

I purchased this at the end of last year, just took it out to try. I am usually a Stihl man but they are so expensive and I had good luck with Husqvarna mowers so I thought I would try this. the positives are is it easy to set up and use, and its comfortable. I agree you need ear protection. the negative is I thought it would be a bit more powerful with the air output. it has worked great for my driveway and decks/porch but not so good in the yard in deeper grass, also does not blow the small limbs with leaves. I also have a Stihl 50cc handheld and believe it or not, it is a lot more powerful ( yet uncomfortable for larger jobs) this would be good for smaller jobs but I live in the woods and I need more power, so will probably get a higher end Stihl back pack blower. I do believe this has its place though. great video!

Hey. I almost sold mine thinking it was blowing weak as heck. I watched this video and realized that when unpacking and assembling I never took out that little piece that was packed inside the flex tube. You can see this guy making the video never caught it either until it fell out on him (min 6:40 of video) during assembly. Sure enough that piece was still in my machine inhabiting a full volume of air. I removed it and it works perfect and the air volume/speed at least doubled. Have you removed the piece packed in the flex hose arm? Just checking.

[@mikemoreno715]

Thanks for the review! Just purchased one today. Look forward to putting it to good use.

[@FishingWithBates]

After months (like 6 months) of being dissatisfied, I almost sold my machine thinking it was a POS because it was blowing so weak. I watched this video and realized that when unpacking and assembling my unit, I never took out that little piece that was packed inside the flex tube. You can see, in this video, the guy making the video never caught it either until it fell out on him (min 6:40 of video) during assembly. Sure enough that piece was still in my machine inhabiting a full volume of air. I removed it and it works perfect and the air volume/speed at least doubled. If anyone is thinking their machine is blowing weak then check your blower arm flex tube.

[@bigguy1403]

Wow I'm surprised you didn't blow your engine after all that time. That's why I always always watch videos on build and starting anything I buy with an engine. Mine was stuck in there too but I knew right were to go to get it out. Gona start that bad boy up today.

[@deek49]

Good informative video. Just put mine together today and seems to work well. Hoping it helps a lot with the massive amounts of leaves we will be getting soon.

[@markkubal7664]

Excellent tutorial, thank you

[@minthillbilly]

Glad it was helpful!

[@grb3748]

I just bought the same blower and Bradley stand on mower.

[@davidtrent5308]

Love mine they are great blowers

[@bigguy1403]

So whats the difference between the blue choke lever and the red choke lever on same blower same year? I hear the red choke lever one is far superior. Any thoughts on that.

[@minthillbilly]

I didn't realize that they put different style choke levers on these blowers. Mine has the blue one. I will say that it works fine. I have not had any problems getting the blower up and running on a cold start. Thanks for the info.

[@bigguy1403]

@minthillbilly mine has the blue also. I bought mine on Amazon but I went to loews and there's has the red choke lever in a different place and there's has a different spark arrestor. Same model same serial #

[@bigguy1403]

@@minthillbilly did you buy yours on Amazon

[@mdhassanahmed9208]

Curious, why you didnt use the Husqvara pre-mix for 1st time?

[@minthillbilly]

Probably because we already had some premix with Echo Red Armor
