the 350 showes worse specs than the 150. in ai speed and volume. Is that true. I know the 150 is not to be much longer but it is still avail. Yrour comments please
DO NOT waste your money on husgvarna crap. ever one i purchased has broken done with in 13 months. no help fron husqarna they do not care .buy a stilt my old one lasted 20 years with hardly any problems. buy stiht
I have a Husky blower and trimmer. The best Ive ever had. I use them commercially and they never fail me. The trimmer ive never touched. I bought it in 2010. Still going strong the primer bulb just broke after 5 yrs. FYI ive left it out in rain and sun. The best machine ever. BTW Stilt is spelled Stihl .
perfect example of another "corporate answer" that provides NO help to anyone. Good Job Husqvarna..
I am WANTING to buy one of these two models. I cant find ANYONE that can answer my question about the difference between the 150 and 350 BT. In reading these post I am getting more confused. I have seen on the Husqvarna site and the Lowes site that the 150bt air speed is 251mph. Why I am seeing 215mph? I have tried calling Husqvarna but they won't answer consumer questions. The husqvarna dealers really dont know much more about the different models than what is written in the "confusing specs." All I want to know is which one do I buy to blow thick, heavy oak leaves? The 150 or the 350 and why ???
ALSO, Doug P. post form Oct 13, 2011 says the 150 bt has been replaced by the 350bt???? It is nearly 2015 and they are both still available !!!
Now it is nearly 2016 and the 150BT is still available. Just bought the 150BT a few weeks ago along with the 125B hand held blower. I am not sure which to keep and which to return. The reviews on the 125B are TERRIBLE !!! I am not seeing anything bad about the 150BT. I just don't think I need the back pack. I love the power but I mainly need a blower in tight places my zero turn can't go. Does anyone recommend a Echo? Does Echo care about their customers unlike Husqvarno?
My blower was bought in July 2014. It quit running this Sept. I tryied the true fuel from Lowes and it run Ok. It is sad that it uses 6$ quart gas. I am a retired product eng. We had to design the product to use under the present environment or gas in this case. Different fuel lines could be used which would not be effected by the gas. This leaf blower is junk and should be redesigned. See Lowes reviews of product.
I recently purchased a 350BT. The main difference in performance is the air flow velocity. Other difference relate to noise and "comfort". I contacted Husqvarna (very tedious as others have noted) and was advised that one could replace the blower tube with one from the 150BT to increase the air flow velocity. (I assume a smaller outlet diameter) I plan to try that as the velocity for the 350 does not seem adequate to blow wet leaves. I am a mechanical engineer but was not allowed to speak with a "Tech Person". The answers were all relayed through a spokesperson. The dealer can provide a part number, but the OEM part would be less costly on line once the part number is obtained.
Thank you for contacting the Answer Army.
The model 350bt has replaced the 150bt model. The shrouds and blower tubes of the 350bt have been updated to increase performance. The 350bt is an excellent blower and will give you optimum performance and reliability.
