Husqvarna 150BT Gas Leaf Blower, 51-cc 2.16-HP 2-Cycle Backpack Leaf Blower, 765-CFM, 270-MPH, 22-N Powerful Clearing Performance and Ergonomic Harness System, 970466901

Love it. Plenty of power and light weight. Starts right up and runs smooth. Only thing I can find that might be improved is the gas tank size. Running it on high for a couple hours will burn through a tank of gas. I’m pushing it hard and moving a lot of leaves. Just of note if you are looking to use this for a business.

Performs well, lots of power for a ~50cc unit, one of the best holster designs in the market. A real value at this size and price range. WARNING: Almost returned the unit due to weak performance until I realized (albeit while packing it back in the box for return ) a small end cap that attaches to smallest outlet tube was stored inside the main outlet tube from factory packaging and needed to be removed prior to use as it was obstructing the airflow. Had a un-duh moment, and decided to remove and give it another try before making the trip to return. Once the cap restricting the airflow was removed, this. thing pushed voluminous air FAST and HARD. Saw some reviews where users experienced low power out of the box - have to assume this was due to them not removing the end cap from the main outlet from the factory packaging, Check that out because I think it's one of the reasons why they say the blower has no power.

Like a lot of the other poor reviews, they mention any sort of support (or lack there of). If your machine works straight out of the box, with no broken parts, you more than likely have a good machine that will run for years if taken care of. If not, prepare for coming to terms with disappointment: My plug wire from the ignition module was flopping when I took it out of the box. Never added fuel, never even attempted to start it. Figured I would return the item for another since it was defective: nope, Amazon wont take it and directs you to Manufacturer. Ok... Called Husqvarna, and get in the ever lasting loop of go to website. Website directs you to go to a service center... Ok cool, but most centers have a wait time, and none all that close (second one is my problem and totally accept, but shouldn't even be an issue with a brand new machine). Any of these things on its own would be a minor annoyance, but all together is ridiculous. How is this 100% my problem, when the only thing I did was trust you would send me a working product? In the end, I took care of it myself. Blower is great, performs as expected after I replaced the coil that was $110. Amazon, I get you cant take it back if it had fuel in it, but to 100% deny the return when it has only been unboxed is silly at best. Husqvarna, man I don't even know where to begin with you. We have a couple of your machines here, and all have run great for years, and the first time we do have an issue, we can't even get a little help. Disappointed to say the least.

This blower is a beast! It has more power than you'll ever need. The end attachment is fantastic for blowing the excess dirt out of the crevices of a freshly edged lawn. I suggest removing this attachment for blowing leaves, grass clippings and other debris because it offers a wider range with plenty of blow power. It's very comfortable and fairly light compared to other backpack blowers of similar quality. This of course is a loud blower so you'll need to use ear protection. I prefer my noise cancelling ear buds but anything will work. As long as you use the canned gas/oil mix with fuel stabilizer and ethanal treatment it will start with ease and be very reliable for many years of use.

No running issues so far as other reviews said but this thing has now power. I chose it because it showed the highest wind speed. I could not believe how weak it was when I fired it up. My Makita battery powered leaf blower has twice the power as this. It is pretty much worthless and as other reviews say you can not return it. I emailed Husqvarna but I doubt I will get anywhere. This thing probably has enough power to blow 3 $100 bills away which is pretty much what I did. Guess I’m going to have to go to a store to find a leaf blower that actually blows like it says it will. To update this, we went to take it apart and see what the hell and ended up finding the black tip for the blower tube was inside the flex tube and restricting the flow. It seems to be pretty descent now. That end tube necks it down to bout a 1” hole which is probably how they get thee 270mph rating but it does seem to be adequate now.

I had a Husqvarna handheld blower and have been happy with it for years but I needed something bigger. I did a LOT of researching and product comparisons and landed on this 150BT model. I've only had it for a week now but I must say, I am quite impressed! It's really powerful and moves loads of leaves, even wet ones, easily. And for its power, it's not crazy noisy. Ear protection is still needed of course however it's less loud than some others I have experienced. The shoulder pads and back pad are comfortable. I also like the waist-level belt you can use to better support and center the unit on your body while you are using it. The throttle is ergonomic and easy to use/hold. The assembly instructions leave something to be desired, however. Mostly it's just the set of tubes you have to attach out of the box, but the paper instructions are not really clear so after a wee bit of trial and error, I figured out how the all go together. The rest of the Quick Start instructions for how to fire it up are fine though. It does require a gas-oil mixture so you need to find a way to mix those, or just use some premixed 50:1 stuff in the can. So far, very happy with this blower, its power and its comfort.
