I'm really growing to like mine now, loads of power, great sounding engine, side start is cool, straps nice, feels good on the back. Great piece of kit so far!

[@mohdarifarifhafizi9874]

Thanks you Calvin Thomas!!!!!

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 Another great video chap - really enjoying your reviews 👍🏻

[@gunton21]

Nice review, I've got one and agree with you, great machine. 👍

[@mantrafiscus]

I've been using an older version for years so I can see that both the starter system and also the harness with the belt and chest strap are a big improvement. By the way Santa bought me a green Shirley which is as good as you said in your review.

[@Menditman2014]

When I bought a new blower last year I was toying between one of these and the Echo PB-8010, I’m usually a Stihl man but I’m not keen on the Stihl 4 mix so being a standard 2 stroke I bought the echo. The power is unreal, I’ve heard these Stihls are very good but power wise are just under the echo PB-8010.

Just found your channel looks like my kind of thing. Will be checking out your videos

[@CalvinThomas05]

Hi Micks Mowers. I just subbed to you're channel. You've got some very good videos there. Cheers, Calvin

Amazing video, great review. My personal favourite backpack blower is the husqvarna 350bt backpack blower

Many thanks Matt for the comments. Cheers Calvin

Great power, wee bit expensive though for just home use

[@Theuglytruth1776]

Was there fuel in the primer bulb when you unboxed it?

[@paulf2529]

Interesting review. I currently run a husqvarna 570bts, prior to this I had a stihl br600. The husqvarna 570 has more power than the stihl br600 did and is better balanced and more comfortable. I can see advantages of the side pull start, that said when it breaks I doubt it can be replaced as quickly as a normal pull cord. My main site is 16 acres and the blower usually stays on my back for over an hour, I'm seldom interrupted though. When I was doing commercial sites I used to use the blower for less time but more frequently ie most visits all year, I often had to stop and start the engine so I can see the side starter would be a huge benefit in this instance. Is the engine a 4 mix? One of the reasons I went with the husqvarna was it is a normal 2 stroke x tourx.

[@CalvinThomas05]

Hi Paul. Yes it's a 4 mix engine. I can see why people don't like the 4 mix engine because of the maintenance of it. But I have to say I like this blower. I would like to try the huskys in the future. Cheers Calvin

[@shadwell749]

I saw a guy with this model and was curious.He said his.pull string freyd bad and the dealer replaced it as it was still under warranty.

[@adambatchelder4121]

Is it the 4 mix motor?

[@thesolarengineer]

Dafydd will be having something to say about all of this!

[@brendanmeegan6444]

What sort money is that it some power in it

[@josephmccole4132]

I'm torn between this and the echo 8010. What is it like having it on your back for a while? Heavy? Great review. Thanks

[@CalvinThomas05]

Hi Joseph. No its not too heavy. Its comfortable with the big straps and padding and the waist belt. Thanks for the comments cheers Calvin

[@paulf2529]

If you spend a little time adjusting the straps, as with a brushcutter harness the machine should be very comfortable. The straps should be relatively tight, not really loose as is often the case were multiple staff use one machine. Use of the top chest strap makes big difference.

[@3r8mo]

Go for the 8010 it’s much more powerful

[@michaelholly88]

@@3r8mo 41/44 Newton’s, not much. Echo is heavier and not as comfortable, no side start. Stihl for me, no brainer

Calvin Thomas your welcome

[@chrisburgess8690]

Runs great til it doesn’t. By the way, did you know Stihl doesn’t cover carburetors under their warranty. Mine failed in two years and they want way to much money to fix it. Never buying any Stihl products again. Have Husquvana products that are years and years older and never had any problems that cost much to repair.

[@kevinkelliher6331]

Kev here in Ireland looks great what’s the price

[@josephmccole4132]

£580 roughly

[@CalvinThomas05]

Yes Kevin. Yes around £600. Cheers Calvin

[@pwleppa]

Is it a 4-stroke engine and if it is, where is the oil reservoir?

[@rodneyburke2202]

It’s a 4 mix it’s the same concept as a 4stroke but it gets lube from the fuel

[@PogotowieOgrodowe]

this blower br800 is unfortunately a big disappointment. I expected a lot more power. It is maybe 10 pricent more powerful than the BR700. For me it is quite a disappointment and I am considering selling it
