Husqvarna 360BT vs Husqvarna Leaf Blaster 350iB

The 350iB is the easier blower to live with: battery power, about 10 lbs on your back-free frame, cruise control and a boost mode, and owners rate it higher. The 360BT is the stronger tool for big properties and heavy, wet debris, with 890 CFM, 232 MPH and 30 N of blowing force from a 66-cc gas engine. Pick the gas backpack if you clear an acre or more and want maximum force for hours; pick the cordless handheld if you want quiet, fume-free work around the house and already own or plan to buy Husqvarna 36V batteries.

• Choose the Husqvarna 360BT if you have a large yard or heavy wet leaves and need the most blowing force for long sessions without battery swaps.
• Choose the Husqvarna 350iB if you want a light, quiet, fume-free handheld for regular yard and garage cleanup and value easy starts over raw power.
