Husqvarna 360BT Gas Leaf Blower, 65.6-cc 3.81-HP 2-Cycle Backpack Leaf Blower with 890-CFM, 232-MPH, 30-N Powerful Clearing Performance and Load-Reducing Harness, Gifts for Men

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.

Blower has a lot of power. I bought it because i trust the brand and wanted something to handle the fall leaves. The straps work well and fit. It started right up on first attempt. I will say it is on the heavy side so if thats a factor then choose one thats lighter. I wear hearing protection as well because it is loud. It moves leaves and pine straw efforlessly i do not need more that half throttle.

Very powerful blower that gets the job done and in good time. Starts right up each time with one or two pulls. Not too bad weight wise and the gas tank will last for an ample time . I have one and a half acres and a lot of flower beds and will last the full clean up.

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.

I enjoy this backpack leaf blower but I wish it had a waist belt. I only use Husqvarna 2-stroke fuel in it and it fires right up and blows strong. It may not be a professional grade blower like the $600 plus blowers but It’s great for a homeowner with multiple acres.

This machine has impressive power-you really can move stuff with minimal effort. It is LOUD. Definitely suggest quality ear protection when using. Its heavy, but not much heavier than other machines-and with the amount of power this beast produces, it’s something I can look past quite easily. Easy to start-once you’ve figured it out. Two things that make me question whether I would ‘buy this again’-comfort and control For the price, you would expect a little bit more attention to the comfort level-the backpack has little to no padding-and you can feel the pressure along your shoulder blades when working. It wears you down quickly. I’m also surprised there is not a cross body strap to connect the shoulder straps and give a more snug-to-body feel. Control-there is absolutely zero directional control with this machine. There’s no flex in the blower handle, making it a little awkward to get into corners and/or along fence lines. I find myself having to walk backwards a lot more than forward to ‘realign’ the leaves in the direction I want them to go. One big line of leaves, no problem-but when you’re trying to get them all into a -pile-, you’re almost better off using a handheld machine at this point. It’s for right handed people, so if you’re a lefty, don’t buy this machine. Overall I love this beast-and I don’t regret my purchase. However, I wish there were add on options to customize the overall experience; such as a more comfortable padded backpack, cross body straps, and flex hose connections/any sort of directional assistance to ‘curve’ the blower and get leaves to move away from barriers. Even though I’m right handed, I find myself wishing I had some sort of control from my left side (I know I know, can’t win them all!)

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

Unboxed the blower and assembled the pipes which was very easy.Added mixed gas 50 to 1 mix, and with 3 or 4 pulls started.Had some spots in yard where snow had melted with leaves which were wet.This blower is a beast,it blew wet leaves easy.Very pleased with blower and would recommend.

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.

Great blower

Easy starting
