How Quiet is the New Stihl BR-500 Backpack Debris Blower?

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

Stihl and Echo claim their latest backpack debris blowers are ever so much cleaner and quieter than… before. We tested a brand new Stihl BR-500 backpack debris blower. Stihl markets five backpack blowers, but the other four models are much louder, much more powerful, blow air even faster (200+ mph), weigh less, and – cost less money!

So, welcome to Orinda, where anyone can start a debris blowing business. Don’t bother spending extra on the BR-500, since we have no decibel limits on blower noise. Grab one of the cheaper, lighter, louder, more powerful models!
