    Question:
    I'm researching the market for a back pack blower and want the best on the market. So far I have narrowed it down to the Husquvarna 580BTS and the Sthil BR600 Magmum. The 570 BTS has more wind speed from the tube than the 580BTS,236 vs 206.2 mph. Why does the cheaper model have a greater windspeed? I called customer support and I asked 3 questions and got "I don't know" each time instead of trying to find someone whom may of been able to help. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy a 580BTS, but if the customer support is not behind your products, then I may have to buy a Sthil.
    Also, I am a retired military veteran and the 580BTS is listed at $549.95. None of the dealers offer discounts. Could
    Husquvarna offer me a small discount on this model?

    James,

    Thank you for contacting Husqvarna to post your questions.

    Thank you for your interest in the Husqvarna Leaf Blower model 580BTS.

    Comparing with the 570 model, the fan design is slightly different; the 570 does log a slightly greater air speed, but the 580 has a much greater air volume: 907.6 CFM vs 770 CFM for the 570 model. That greater volume makes a significant difference if one wishes to clear larger areas and blow leaves/debris greater distances.

    Unfortunately we do not sell product directly to the consumers, you would have to go through one of our authorized dealers to get this machine.

    I hope this was helpful.
