- We took the STIHL BR 600 and the STIHL BR 700 and compared them in different situations. We tested them during a leaf cleanup, and then tested them in a wet grass and dry grass situations.
We were shocked to see the results, and really found that the two backpack blowers are very comparable to each other aside from a few differences in how they act in the different work environments that we put them through! The results are SURPRISING! The two STIHL blowers are very powerful, and have just a few specification differences!
Let us know what you think of these blowers in the comments down below! (Which one is better?)

Finally a great comparison video full of info on the machines, a side by side comparison and different conditions as well! AWESOME informative video! I was hesitant on buying the 600 off craigslist . But thanks to your video,, away I go! I try to find videos like this when researching things that come up on craigslist that I know nothing about,, and I never can find any video that would give me the feeling that I should or shouldn't buy that item! So,, I usually just pass and get frustrated!! But this is the first time I found an informative video that I was actually happy to be watching! GREAT JOB GUYS! And THANK YOU!!
Great input & hands on review! Keep 'em coming!
I have had both blowers for 2 seasons now and I can tell you they are both great, reliable, powerful blowers. The BR700 is a beast for sure but the BR600 has a more "pointed" direct pattern of air coming out and is lighter (which helps when your cutting 20 yrds a day). This means you can blow across a driveway better with the 600 vs the 700. The 700 is awesome and will move much more air and has a much larger air pattern so it's great for blowing off large areas (large driveways, parking lots, etc.) The BR700 is great for making one pass on a sidewalk without fanning back and fourth as much. CONS: Both can be a little fin·ick·y when first started but once they warm up (even in 90º weather) and the fuel starts flowing, they run great. They both have DUEL Fuel filters which are little difficult to get out of the gas tank to change out. I'm anxious to purchase the BR800 (20% more power than BR700 and a easy hip start)
A very good, thorough review.
Many thanks !
Remove the tapered nozzle off the end of the 600 and it should put out a lot more cfm in thick leaves.
I got the BR700, and I love it! My neighbor and I are the kings of the neighborhood, everyone else has the rinkydink gas, and electric ones and some even battery powered ones. I have started to do a lot of landscape type of work for my neighborhood, and it has been a blast
Fantastic Guy's. Excellent review. Thanks for sharing. From across the pond.👊🤗
Getting the 700 for sure. Thanks for the review man. Always enjoy your vids!
What blower do you have currently? I'm glad you like the videos!
Sweet video, keep up the good work!
Mario's Lawn Care thank you man!
Thanks guys!!!!!
Another great video!
Awesome video guys, thanks for taking the time to do the comparison. I’m trying to make a decision and you guys helped a lot. Y’all rock!!!👍😎 keep up the good job, hard work pays off!!!
Just got the BR700 and love it. You want to move large volumes of snow/leaves quickly, it is the tool for the job. Get an electric hand held if you just want to blow grass off your sidewalk.
Finally a review by guys who actually use the equipment
How much should I buy a used br600 for?
Great vid man!
E & M's Property Maintenance thank you man! What blower did you like better?
Great video mate ! The br 700 will be my next blower 🤙🏻
Thank you, what blower do you use currently?
Brown Brothers' Lawn Care I use the shindaiwa EB803
Is that an echo company?
I have the 700. I love it, gets the leaves to the street in 1 second, most powerful, etc. I do not agree with you on the 700 not being good with wet grass, the 700 has multiple tips that can be changed to accommodate the blower with the job that needs to be accomplished. I have the larger tip for blowing huge leaf piles and i use the small tip for cleaning up tiny wood chips from a chain saw that i cut tree limbs. So i would definitely spend the extra $50 and go with more power. The reason why Sthil made the tip on the BR 700 interchangeable was for that reason.
I had both. Like the 600 better it's quicker and lighter. Had some issues with the 700 the dealer said its because the same motor is pushing a bigger impeller. I sold the 700 waiting on the 800.
what if the 600 had wider tube at the end?
Great video
Super GREAT presentation....!! Thank You...!! I question PLEASE...!!
By any chance do you know what year Stihl stopped tagging the BR 600 with the magnum label?
2016
Hi! Looking at the 600 and the 700, would you have an opinion on which would work better on tons of acorns and hickory nuts? We have tons of leaves too, but our nuts and acorns are out of control, lol. Thanks.
they both have the same engine,same blower just a different sur name....the br 700 also have a bigger blower fan compared to the br 600.so more air flow, more blowing power..the br 700 is a good choice
Also put a flat nozzle on the br 600 it will do just as good if you wanna save the extra $50
Let's go over the facts that will affect a business that is aiming to maximise profits.
Cost (Cost is subtracted from revenue lowering profit) $500 vs $560 - BR600 wins (these are MSRP, used prices matter)
Weight (weight bears on human efficiency negatively) BR 700 is 1.8lbs heavier and this is almost entirely in the part you carry in your right hand. BR600 wins
Versatility (you are going to be working in many conditions, you would rather be proficient in many vs better in just one) BR700 sucks on wet leaves and wet grass, this is unacceptable. BR600
These are just a few of the things I have noticed and it all adds up to deciding the BR600 is better for a person trying to maximize profits. Keep in mind there are a million different comparison points you could look at but there are some that are more important that others. Never look so close at the data points that you are not blowing leaves when you could be blowing leaves. The thing I look at first when making these decisions are really 2-fold and rarely more than that: Which is going to cost me more out of pocket (money in your hand is worth a LOT more than potential money) , and is there are SIGNIFICANT improvement from me spending more money out of pocket. That's all you have to do for most decisions, then hurry up and buy the equipment, take care of it so you can sell it later if you need or want at a decent price, AND GET TO WORK EVERY DAY AND ON TIME. You do that and you will have it made.
"BR700 sucks on wet leaves and wet grass, this is unacceptable"
...exactly why I chose the BR 600 over the BR 700 yesterday. Too many shady spots (wet leaf piles) on my 1/3rd acre wooded lot (and I mean a wooded lot) to blow. Absolutely loving my BR 600! This was a personal use purchase for me by the way, as I'm not a landscaping professional.
If you're a homeowner, and want to blast through your wooded lot during a cold, Appalachian Trail, fall season, and still make the Sunday afternoon football game, the BR 600 will get the job done nicely. It's worth every penny, especially if you can catch a Stihl sale on it (it's on sale right now for $469, down from $499).
Whoa the sub number jumped a good bit lately didnt it? wasnt you still in the 600s just a few days ago? on the way to that 15k man!
Hazardra Lawn Care yeah I was in the 600s like 2 days ago! I got a huge shoutout from Brian’s Lawn Maintenance that really boosted my subs! I owe it all to him lol!
It would interesting what the 700 does with the curved flat tip. As the flat tip gives better mph on small blowers
The BR450s narrower nozzle will fit on a 700 for blowing wet leaves and grass or scouring the yard.
I have both....the 600 seems to blow a narrower path but is better for wet leaves....700 seems to work dry leaves the best....IMO both blowers are close...I came to the same conclusions as you
Wayne's Lawn Care yeah, do you own both blowers? It really is a tough comparison, because they both have the same engine!
+Brown Brothers' Lawn Care ....yes I own both...you are spot on with the feed back...after using them this past year
Sweet! I'm glad I'm correct... and I'm glad nobody is giving me a hard time about the review, and mentioning echo... lol!
@@BrownBrothersLawnCare - For landscaping professionals, I can see having both of them in the arsenal. But for a homeowner, it makes all the sense in the world to go with a 600 (more versatile).
Thanks for the comparative video and some real life tests. I wish you had a bit more testing on stuck-on materials and piles. I live in snow land. I can see that the 700 would blow a larger quantity of dry snow for clearing a driveway. But I wonder if the 600 may better clear slightly heavier or packed snow such as on sidewalks. Anyone out there with some observations on how deep of a snow layer these blowers will push and how high up a snow bank?
nyee1 the next video I will get some more testing done! Thank you for your advice man!
@@BrownBrothersLawnCare - Please link that video when you make it! Thanks in advance.
Also it may be the same motor but is the fan the same???....looks like to get that much more cfm....take more than a tube change
Wayne's Lawn Care I think the fan is a bit bigger... and that is probably why the machine looks bigger in the side by side shot... what do you think?
What about the BR700 vs the BR450.
Great
Now 5-6 years ago ty made a br 800c and 800x
I wish I could hear the blowers running instead of that shitty pop music. The 4 mix engines are music for real men.
I like the cut of your jib.
The BR’s are music to my ears, there is nothing like running one of these masterpieces when you really know what you’re doing👌
I got a br601 I can't find them online anywhere
Michael Turner a br700??
No the br601 did they recall them
Michael Turner hmm... idk I haven’t heard of a recall!
I have 2 red max blowers ,a 7500 and a 8500. The 7500 is better for normal use and the 8500 for brute power for busting up wet leaves and debris. I pretty much came up with the same conclusion. I use them both for different jobs. If I can get away with using the 7500 then I will because it's a lot lighter!
chcj82 yeah I feel like there is only a difference when it comes to situations! Do you have any Stihl equipment?
No we only run RedMax
i put nozzle from 7500 on 8500 to make it blow faster you should see if 8500 nozzle make your 7500 blow big piles better or like i found out my blower works best on big piles with shortest length of tubing
chcj82 gotcha, does redmax make a trimmer?
Paul Goodchild wait so are the nozzles interchangeable on a redmax? That is awesome!
Your getting the volume to more leaves faster without the pressure that takes the yard with it. The volume is definitely better
Cool man!!’ I have a br 600! I love it but my redmaxs are way more powerful!
Alexander Goushy I’ve heard that Redmax is amazing!
Do the 4 stroke blowers run on straight gas or need to mix oil?
@@andyruiz9108 Any engine that is 4 stroke does not need oil mixed with gas, only 2 strokes require oil mixed with gas. Hopefully I didn't misunderstand your question.
@@glendateems796 got it!! thanks for your reply.
@@andyruiz9108 They call it a 4-mix. Runs on 2-stroke mix though it is a 4-stroke. There is no crankcase oil.
Alright so guys
Both are great at giving you tinnitus... Use some ear defenders!
I am stuck on this, I am unsure of which to choice..
Kemmel Lawn Care what blower do you have currently?
Brown Brothers' Lawn Care residential stihl handheld
Kemmel Lawn Care are you looking to upgrade?
Brown Brothers' Lawn Care yes I just don’t know, 600 or 700.
Kemmel Lawn Care do you do a lot of leaves in the fall?
There was a lot of awkward tension in this video on justifying who made the better purchase 😂
Which is better the BR 600 or the BR 700?
Brown Brothers' Lawn Care I like my be 700 more
King Max I’m with you lol!
King Max same here! Honestly there’s not much difference, but I like the name BR 700 lol!
It's too bad they don't make those nozzles interchangeable.
Same, that would be kind of nice, but I feel like I would constantly be switching between tubes, and spending a lot of money on tubes.
It wouldn't really matter. If you put a bigger nozzle on the 600 you wouldn't get 700 results. The 700 has a higher CFM which means it puts out more air. The 600 has a higher MPH which means it blows faster. Overall the 600 has more newtons. So what does that all mean? Basically the 700 is going to shine in the video where they are blowing nothing but dry leaves. If you often find yourself blowing twigs, a-corns, small rocks, or wet leaves then I think you'll want to go for the 600 over the 700. If you have a big lawn to cover and it's mostly just leaves then you'll want to get the 700.
A BR450 tip fits on the BR700 tube. You can run the 450 tip most of the year then put the 700 tip on for fall clean up
Br700
circle motions homie with the 700 not up and down
The 700 is well worth the $50 extra
The Br700 runs off of 900 cfm and the Br600 only 700 cfm. So it's worth it to get the BR700.
we got 11 mutual friends on facebook
Paul Goodchild hahaha lol that’s awesome! Probably all lawn care guys?
sent you friend request on facebook you know lot of my friends Eddie
Paul Goodchild hahahaha lol I will accept! Who do you know??
Do all these blower reviews think they’re making music videos?
Same engine, different tube and fan.
My Husqvarna 580bts blows bigger piles better with short tube my blower can put nozzle off 570 so it blows faster Stihl blowers in UK have curved nozzle it makes wrist or forearm hurt
Paul Goodchild really, a curved nozzle?
Go look at your Facebook Messenger site there photo of BR600 you can see round curved nozzle
Yep, here in Germany to, a cuves nozzle. Got mine yesterday and after one hour working with it, my arm began to feel sore. The power is great, much more dan my Dolmar PB 7600-4.
You have to understand that the curved end is pretty much for the “grenadier” of your crew. I am bigger so I chose this curved tip and spent every single day beaming with pride. The bump in power is very significant, the feeling in your arm is a challenge, but someone in the patrol has to carry the MAG, leaf blowing is combat.
@@michaelg.partridge8216 found if turn curved nozzle 180deg so curves down arm don’t hurt
STIHL ROCKS!!!!!
I agree!
Have you tried the KombiSystem?, I highly reccomend it, I have about 7 pieces of stihl equipment, KM91R, FS-KM Trimmer, FS-KM Brushcutter, FCS-KM Straight Shaft Edger, HL-KM 145 Adjustable Hedge Trimmer, BG-KM Blower, SH-86 C Shredder Vacuum. I have a backpack blower, but it's a vintage Echo PB300E, I plan on eventually getting a BR-700, and maybe an SR-450
Kyle Knight I would really like a kombi! Those are sweet!
I reccomend you get a KM91, KM94, KM111, or KM131, The KM56 does not have enough power for commercial use, and my edger attachment is the straight shaft
Kyle Knight gotcha! Thank you for the advice!
700 better ive used both for years
Tony's Lawn care I’ve come to the same conclusion... really I did think that the 600 was better for wet grass, but I like the cfm of the 700... idk. Do you like the tube in or out?
Brown Brothers' Lawn Care maybe like mediumish i use it about an inch or 2 from the ground when its on my back.
Tony's Lawn care gotcha.... I mean for grass I’m better at keeping it accurate with it out... what do you think for grass?
Good video, music no value added
Hey bro you can not beat Stihl
Upscale Lawn Care Monroe I agree with you completely on that man! They run great and I have no problems with mine! What Stihl equipment do you run?
hide the fact that both could've blown that camera view worth of leaves clean in 28.2 seconds. Ya'll made two of the best blowers on the market look like some cheesy handheld homelite clearance item........terrible!
It’s tough when you become a Jedi with a BR - your entire place in the world changes... when you become one with The BR Magnum Force, seeing others squander their leaf-blowing potential in any fashion creates cosmic waves of disgust... be strong, brother, others share your pain😂🙏
Redmax 8500 will do the job of those two stihl blowers in the same time or faster
