Husqvarna 967144301 360BT Backpack Blower, Orange

This 360bt leaf blower works wonders moving snow off my decks and roofs of my buildings. It can move a lot of snow if it’s fresh snow. I moved 6 inches with very little effort. It starts very easily and if you follow the directions you shouldn’t have any mechanical issues. The only nay issue it it should have a chest and waist straps. It is a little heavy for me but I’m 66 years old. I would recommend this blower to anyone who wants a leaf -snow blower for their yard maintenance.

I spent a few days reviewing several different brands before I settled on the Husqvarna 360 BT and I am not disappointed. This blower works so well and has so much power, that you can blow wet pine needles off the lawn with ease and you don’t have to rake them if you have a place to push them to. It also has the power to moves large sticks, twigs and green pine cones effortlessly. This blower uses mixed gas and is lightweight. This blower was very comfortable after two hours of continuous use. I absolutely love the auto throttle feature with just a flick of your thumb. Finger fatigue is a thing of the past with this blower. I am so impressed with the amount of wind force that is produced out of this blower that I should have bought this sooner. The old saying, nothing beats having the right tool for the job is so true with this blower. Using this blower has saved me so much time compared to my older backpack blower. I would highly recommend it to anyone that has difficult material to move. You’ll definitely won’t be slowly moving a pile of leaves or needles in front of you with this blower.

It's been 2 years and it's perfect! Strong, easy start. Cant ask for more

I am very happy with the performance and power of this blower. It was easy to assemble, notwithstanding the worthless small instruction paper. I used online videos. While it appeared, on the website, to have a waist belt, it doesn’t. What it has is unpadded shoulder straps apparently designed by a sadist. They are too short, and the cinching straps are cumbersome and cheap. I made a sternum strap out of an old web belt, and padded the shoulder straps with shop towels. I feel the website is intentionally misleading. Getting past what really irritated me (a polite way of saying it), the machine is fantastic. I used ear plugs rated at 32 db, and was surprised how ‘quiet’ it was. The controls are intuitive, and work well. It cleared clippings and leaves with ease, and dislodged two fresh wasp nests. Despite the lack of a decent harness, the performance makes me give it 5 stars. BUT, for an extra couple of bucks to give this blower a decent harness, the company could make this machine a 6 star product.

This thing really blows. In a good way. I’m no pro landscaper but I’m getting results like I am. There are guys out there paying over $150 per month to have someone blow out and cut their grass so the cost of this is nothing compared to savings. You will need a shed to put it in. I use the pre mixed gas since I’m only taking care of two small properties with this. This things moves big piles of leaves like nothing. When I crank this up it feels like I have a Harley Davidson on my back with the deep growl of the engine. Love the sound of this beast. I also have a small battery powered Makita blower and the Husqvarna does the work about three to four times quicker. The leaves haven’t really started to come down although I did use this in each of the last four or five times I cut the lawns. I usually edge up lawn with weed wacker, then blow out with the Husqvarna, then cut the grass so my stripes stay fresh. The gas tank on this is very decent size this is a nice benefit and I appreciate it since the tank on my weed wacker is very small. You could probably do five properties or more on a tank. At the very least you will not need to gas up on one or two properties in the middle of the job. When I use blower I usually focus right in front of me not too far out so I could do a better clearing. With this baby you have to take it gently on the throttle or you could blow the turf away if you are not careful. Buy this you will enjoy. I guess the only reason to really step up to the more pricey model is if you are really in hurry and blowing out properties professionally. If I was on the clock so to speak I would spring for the top end model but for me this is perfect. I realize now stepping up from the small Makita that the bigger back pack blowers do save a huge amount of time.
