Q: my company has a 150 bt unit. I need to know what gas and oil to use and the ratio. thank you! by Susie from South Carolina on November 22, 2013
A: Susie,
If possible, find any fuel with little to no Ethanol content. No more than 10%.
You will need to use a high quality 50:1 2-cycle engine oil. Look for any brand that is JASO-FD rated. It is about 2.56 oz of oil per 1 gallon of fuel. by Dale, Product Expert
Q: Joe,
Husqvarna 150BT is advertised as "Professional" and the 350 BT is advertised as "Heavy Duty." Can you please make a recommendation? The $ 20 price difference is unimportant to me. I want to purchase the better machine. Thanks. by Mike from Minnesota on October 27, 2013
A: Mike,
It will be $20 well spent. You are getting a more commercially built unit with the 350BT. The commercial type housing leads to increased durability, and extended longevity over the 150BT.
The housing is also what contributes to the increase in CFM (Air Volume) which is what you are looking for when you are moving leaves. by Dale, Product Expert
Q: I have been looking at this model and there is a lot of different answers for the actual air velocity. One site says 251mph, this one says 112mph and then another site says 180mph. I am really in need of a blower that can handle over an acre of land that is covered in trees. But this air velocity thing needs to be cleared up!!!! by Erin Nihoris from Indiana on October 02, 2013
A: Erin,
I think that some of the sites you are going to are using correct specs, but they are giving the air speed of the blower with out any tubing to direct your airflow. Measuring speed without restriction will give you a higher number, but it isn't too helpful.
Here is the airspeed and CFM taken at the end of the tube attachment:
Air Speed (mph) 251 Volume of Air (CFM) 494
Now that I have cleared this up for you, I wish you the best in your fall clearing! by Dale, Product Expert
Q: Joe, My question was the same as Question 1. So which is more powerful the 150 BT or the 350BT? by Joe from Connecticut on September 29, 2013
A: Joe,
The 350BT was built to be used in more of a commercial setting as the 150BT was designed for residential.
You will find there are differences in the housing and durability with the 350BT that push it to be a bit more powerful than the 150BT by Dale, Product Expert
Q: Considering Husqvarna 150 bt gas blower PED says air speed --112mph/434 cfm Husqvana website states air flow in housing 710 cfm & air speed 251mph Which is correct? by Tom from New York on September 17, 2013
A: Tom,
They both are. The difference is how and where the speed and velocity is recorded.
The "in housing" spec that you see in the owners manual is taken when all of the tubing is off of the machine directly at the housing. Why they post this escapes me a bit since all of that velocity and high volume of air mean very little if there is no concentration or direction of that air.
We took the liberty of posting the numbers that matter. We pulled the the speed and velocity with all of the tubing and reducers attached. These are the numbers when the machine is in use. by Dale, Product Expert

Great Blower
I've heard a lot about Back Pact Blowers,and everything i heard was true.. I bought this to replace my hand held gas blower. There is no comparison,the back pact is 100% better . Light weight, powerful, easy to operate and ten times the blowing capacity.
The Husqvarna 150BT 50cc 2-Cycle Backpack Blower is very easy to start, generally starts on the first pull. This blower is all the power you need. If you are looking to buy a compact, powerful, light-weight blower, this is the one for you.

"This is the website you go to to get the product you want at a fair price, plus no tax & no shipping costs."
Have 2-acres and I've always wanted a backpack blower. In addition to several electric I have a wheeled 5-hp blower for the bigger jobs. Since this purchase, the other machines are collecting dust. This backpack does it all. Can't go wrong with this choice.

Great Blower For The Money
I purchased this blower at Lowe's for $250 and have found it to be an great value for the money. The only downside is that the wand/tube is made of roto-molded plastic rather than molded plastic. As a result the tube parts did not fit very well.
The blower itself has plenty of power for most homeowners and the starting of the unit is a breeze. I looked at a hand held unit and decided that for the money, this was a good deal. Plus, most people that have hand held units that I know, come to the conclusion that they are mostly under-powered and wished that they had bought a backpack unit.

Great Service
We ordered this blower at 11:09 a.m. on 9/ 23/ 2016. It was delivered 9/24/16 at 11:07 a.m. Less than 24 hours. That was great service. We haven't used the blower yet, so I hope that everything will work as well as our son's does.

My Experiences
I purchased my Husqvarna blower last Christmas.
I have to say it starts up easily and it really does a great job blowing the leaves.
It blows the leaves that have been stuck to the ground.
I am very satisfied with it and I would recommend it to my friends.
