I just got my own BR800c. I am learning how to use it on yards and stuff. I love the BR800c. I also have a BG86 handheld blower. If you are looking to invest into a blower and you don't have a 600 or 700 yet then get the BR 800. Decide if you want the side start or not. Only a $50 difference.
I have a SH85C Stihl handheld, trying to decide if getting the 800 backpack will save me that much more time. I'm not a commercial cutter, but I have 5 acres with a very long driveway, a big parking pad, and a pool with a large deck. It takes me 45 minutes to an hour to blow all of them off plus blowing off the mower after cutting. Do you notice that much difference in your 800 and your handheld blowers? Thanks in advance!
Been in the business for many years….have a BR600, BR700, and now the BR800X. The 800 is a total BEAST!!!!! Don’t care about the 800C features, the lighter weight of the X works for me. I added my own hip belt to my 800X, when I’m running the blower nobody tries to talk to me so starting and stopping the blower while on my back…..not necessary.
as a super tall person with back problems i made the decision to get the 800 ce due to the straps and the side start was a hude deal for me...benefit that its really powerfull and its perfect for my property so it worked out
Awesome review. I just got my br800 c. I haven't used it yet, but coming from a handheld blower, I'm deff gonna tell a difference. I've got 3 live Oakes on my property, and they drop year round. The hand blower does its job but takes forever on clean up. I'm excited to see how much quicker I'm able to accomplish the same task.
Funny to me how everyone is going nuts about the waist strap.. My 580bts has chest AND waist straps... super comfortable, nothing new.. also, I feel like the 580 is more powerful and better for leaves.
Gentleman great vid as always dealer breaker for me would be electric start like the the BR450 for the money over $600 bucks side start is cool no doubt keep up the great work
🤔🤔😅 looks like the 800 blew the line of leaves twice as fast during that first test. that's more power, and translates to more productivity in real world terms.
i would think a time test would show different things. also i want to see what you guys think of the 800 compared to the pb8010. i need to buy a new blower because my br420 or wore out. just a home owner..
I permanently screwed up my upper back trying to start a Stihl blower from 1980 on my back./ It had super high compression and back fired on me while I was pulling it . Probably, I should have sued
@@Blindlight4029 Of course not. Don't know you, your situation, or your genetics. Just being mean. People suing whenever they find an opportunity is not the answer.
The event began my physical deterioration and my back troubles. The Stihl blower was made for starting up on the back so when it backfired in the middle of my right hand pull it devastated my middle back which then led to lower back issues a few years later. If it had backfired while I was starting it on the ground, it would have been no problem, I think I had a legitimate case considering how my life was changed by it, In fact I have never sued anybody but compensation would have made a huge difference with that event@@sylkelster
Funnily enough I prefer it over the high pitch screech of some other blowers you can find on the market. If there is one thing I found watching vids on the new PB8010 it was how bloody high pitch it is. These are more of a throaty growl as opposed to a scream lol.
JWN Lawn Care the red max blowers are the most dependable on the market I run my 7500 all day no problem starts first pull once warmed up. The stihl and the echo just aren't dependable.
Coming from a BR380, what would you recommend for homeowner with an acre lot with a ton of trees? I am willing to purchase the 800. That being said C or X? Or do I get a smaller 600? Thanks
Well Barry, if you get the 800 you can get the X because you won’t need the side start. I think you only need a 600 for your lawn but some of us just love the biggest baddest toys so I wouldn’t hate if you went with the 800 lol!
The Stihl BR-800 C-E is a monster!! Absolutely love it!

It's worth mentioning that you can see the fuel level with the Stihl equipment.

Can we get a timed test? It seems the results were the same but perhaps the 800 did it faster. Speed would be the deciding factor to me.
I would pay the $100 difference just for the side pull and hip strap. It's very convenient to me.

It's been a year. Are you still liking the br 800 side start? Is it holding up?
Thanks guys. Keeping my 600
You won't go wrong with the br600, 700 or 800. All of them are great.
10 years in my br600
It's still a bad ass blower. Stihl is the best in my opinion
Great review guys! A lot of important information and that you share your thoughts! There are definite advantages to the 800!
Shut equipment off every time somebody walks by. That's insanity. Idle it down ....
Looks to me like the 700, took a lot longer to blow the leaves than the 800 did though....I have the 800 and LOVE IT!
Well it's been some time since this video .. my question is how has that side start it worked out for yall?
Straps are a big issue, the most padded straps are on the Makita MM4, I Went for the Husqvarna 580 bts, a shed load of power and comfortable too!
Funny to me how everyone is going nuts about the waist strap..
My 580bts has chest AND waist straps... super comfortable, nothing new.. also, I feel like the 580 is more powerful and better for leaves.
I have both br700 and the Husqvarna 580 and the husky does really well
Why is no one talking about the new Red-Max 8550. I saw it at GIE but,the website doesn't show it. Do you guys know what's up with that?
What's redmax?
@@Eric-B24559 Red Max ebz 8500 backpack blowers ? One of the biggest baddest blowers on the market?
@Meko Longdo you are so AWESOME 👍

Debating between br800x vs br800 ce. Starter makes me worried on the ez start

kodiak wild agreed!
I agree 800 was done faster you'd of been on your way to another leaf spot
you can give an experienced guy a br600 and a novice the 800 and the guy with years would be more productive
@@mdlivewirex7 And give me an 800 ( or better yet, an Echo 9010 ) and give 3 to 5 novices 600's and I'll be just as or more productive 😂
Thanks for the info 👍
I'm glad I saw this video my br 700 will do for a few seasons
Do you have an updated video for your review on the side start?
I’m upgrading to the br 800 next fall. I’ve been using a br 430 for the past few seasons and it just doesn’t cut it for leaves.
What’s the most powerful blower of all?
Leodegario Juarez PB-810
Can you do a new video on the Br800 with the side start? Im thinking of buying one, but i want to know how the side start is holding up
Can you make a video comparing the br 800 vs the Husqvarna 580bt or Redmax 8500?
can't wait to see the new REDMAX myself !
Hello I just bought the bg86 and now iam wanting to get the br line up witch one should I get
Where did you find that hoodie with your logo on it? would like to get some made up looks nice and comfy
How does the exhaust of an Echo sound compared to other brands ?
BR700 in UK Standard Hip Strap can even Chest strap for it
How’s the side start holding up?
King of Blowers......The new Echo!
King of heavy...... echo
Hi
I would upgrade but stihl isn’t bring this to the uk 🇬🇧 or they haven’t made there mind up yet due to problems with the side start
The Landscaper you can buy the 800 on frjonesandsons and get it delivered to the uk
Good review!
Difference? 800 you'd be blowing another spot 700 you'd be behind in cleanup.
Blake don't you have the REDMAX 8500 ? what don't you like about it ?
Redmax and echos blow hard but they’re incredibly uncomfortable to me . I like the balance of the Stihl design.
They say it's only 10 to 15 percent increase from models
Do an echo pb770 vs the 8010
Good stuff
i would think a time test would show different things. also i want to see what you guys think of the 800 compared to the pb8010. i need to buy a new blower because my br420 or wore out. just a home owner..
Karl Gregory the 8010 blows everything away they are just impossible to find and are expensive.
@@connerbutler1077 they are close to the same price as the br800 arent they?
Karl Gregory dealer mark ups if they have any in stock but there are very few that do
dodge 318 no big deal to me i can wait until spring time. thats when i plan on getting a new one anyway
all of the top blowers are competitively priced around 600, depending on the area.
Good video. In future videos, you might talk about the terrible sound that Stihl blowers generate. The Husqvarna 580 generates a deeper throaty sound.
Bruh 😎
I permanently screwed up my upper back trying to start a Stihl blower from 1980 on my back./ It had super high compression and back fired on me while I was pulling it . Probably, I should have sued
ppl would rather see you comparing it to the red max monster
Probably not. Should have taken better care of yourself in your younger years. Don't blame your flemsy vertebrae on product characteristics.
You have no idea what you are talking about@@sylkelster

Yupp its that 4stroke
I agree. Their sound is terrible.

Idk man 64cc vs 80cc is a large percentage displacement difference. Seems like off the line the br800 smoked the 700.

Got my 800 today! Can't wait for the weekend.
Blake do you ever respond ?
Yes!
I got the 900 at Walmart yesterday. It blows the panties off this.
The BR800 is to heavy
You are weak
Disliked is that ok
What do you mean?
A Dislike is fine friend. As long your a subscriber.
Well I don't like the video. So I'm asking if that's ok to dislike.. cause I like ice cream
