Husqvarna 580BTS Review
The Husqvarna 580BTS is a commercial-grade leaf blower with an airspeed of 206 MPH (miles per hour) and an air volume of 908 CFM.
Powered by the signature Husqvarna X TORQ engine, the efficient fan, and great airflow ensures that this leaf blower is fit to meet your all your cleaning needs. Moreover, this powerful blower is also fuel efficient and very durable, surpassing the expectations of most users.
7 Main Features of the Husqvarna 580BTS
1) Power
The power of this Husqvarna motor is incredible. It is a 75.6 cc 2-stroke engine which is super powerful, exceeding the average standard.
What’s more, the fan speed of this blower can be adjusted with a cruise control feature. It has a chassis and dampeners which reduce vibrations.
Compared to others in the same category, this Husqvarna has proved to work better and last longer.
2) Ergonomic Enhancements
Comfort is a non-negotiable factor when you're purchasing a leaf blower mainly if you are a professional or a large yard owner as you'd have to carry the backpack for an extended period.
Apart from the regular thick padded and adjustable straps used for fastening the blower to the shoulders, the Husqvarna 580BTS goes further to include chest and waist straps.
Rather than the entire weight hanging off the user’s shoulders, the Husqvarna weight is evenly distributed across the back and hips.
Surprisingly, the Husqvarna is one of the heaviest leaf blowers on the market as it has the biggest tank. However, its weight distribution ensures that it feels light and comfortable. Further adding to the ergonomics of this blower is its active air-cooling system, pulling air across the operator’s back and keeping him/her cool during operation.
3) Operation Time
Our tests and research show that the significant critique against this blower lies in its fuel efficiency. It sucks up fuel fast.
However, its work efficiency makes up for this flaw. As its fuel tank is big, this blower can run for over an hour. Also, users don't have to refill constantly.
4) Air Velocity
The air output of this blower is impressive. Producing up to 215 MPH of airflow at 910 cubic feet meter (CFM), this tool has more airflow and power than most corded and battery leaf blowers on the market. It has more power than several other gas-powered blowers. Thus, this blower is a solid choice for big projects, daily operation, and heavy usage.
5) X-TORQ Engine
This X-Torq engine design lessens the toxic emissions of this leaf blower by about 60%. If you are familiar with the leaf blowing world, then you’ll know that this is a big plus. If you work with leaf blowers regularly, toxic emissions can be very harmful. This engine design also increases fuel efficiency by up to 20%.
6) Air Filtration
This is another huge plus. This leaf blower features a centrifugal air injection cleaning system which removes debris particles and larger leaves before they get to the air. This filter increases motor life, and it makes the leaf blower significantly more efficient.
7) Durability
Regarding this, the Husqvarna 580BTS is one of the most durable and the strongest models on the market. Every aspect of this model is completely configured to be durable and rugged.
Though the price is a bit on the high side, you can’t regret buying this unit as it is a powerful beast designed to withstand constant use.
