Husqvarna 360BT Gas Leaf Blower, 65.6-cc 3.81-HP 2-Cycle Backpack Leaf Blower

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.

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.

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 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.

Works like a beast - can move even wet leaves. So much better than an electrical one. At first it started easily, but after the 3rd time I used it, it wouldn't start unless I sprayed starter fluid into the carburetor. It feels a little heavy at first, but after using it a few times it doesn't seem that bad; the backpack design allows for easy control of the blower. It's worth the $400 because my lawn service wanted to charge me $750 for a fall clean-up and they only come out once, so if more leaves fall it would cost even more. Very glad I purchased this blower.

A lot of power and comfortable harness

This replaces a Husqvarna 140BF blower we've had for ~16 years. Great little blower but it needs a new carb, probably due to California's high mandatory ethanol mix (10%). My youngest son will rebuild the carb for his first house while I get to enjoy this lighter, more powerful model! After a few minutes of simple assembly, I fueled it up with 'canned' (ethanol free) gas. After setting the choke and pumping the primer bulb it started 2nd pull out of the box. Made short work of our long circular drive and even wet pine needles. I ran the old blower full throttle for all the yard work, but this one can yank small plants out of the ground, blow graveled pathways out to the forest, knock over young children (just guessing on this one), and more fun stuff. A very nice upgrade and did I mention that it's lighter? Ethanol free gas costs more, but it should help get a lot of years out this new guy. You can get it locally in qt & gal sizes. Local tree services buy it in 50 gal drums. I like the QT size since I never have stale fuel around. So why didn't I use ethanol free fuel in the old blower? It wasn't an issue back then. CA didn't require ethanol until ~2003, and then it was only ~5%. ~2010 it went to 10%. If I had changed fuels then I might still be using the old blower. Too many other things to think about, I guess.

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.

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.

Easy starting

Great blower
