Husqvarna 560BTS Backback Leaf Blower - 65.6 cc 2-Stroke X-Torq

I've used this blower for two years now and I wish I had purchased it long ago. It is an absolutely great machine. The engine is very powerful and moves large amounts of leaves with ease. At the same time you can throttle it down to do finesse work around the gardens without blowing away all the mulch and damaging your plants or shrubs. Although it weighs 23 pounds, once on your back, it sits very comfortably, and the ergonomics of the blower tube and handle feels like a natural extension of my arm. Awesome machine!!!

I have only used this unit once so far. It seams to be every thing it claims to be. I did my research just as you are now and there is only one thing that was a surprise and that is the padding that is between you and blower. It is raised in to locations not flat like sthil. This may brake in and be better but only time will tell.like I said only one quick use because I could mot wait to fire it up and am looking forward to spring.
