Power and noise reduction in one back pack blower is hard to find, unless you are speaking of the Stihl BR 500 Blower. For noise-sensitive areas, the BR 500 back pack blower is ideal. When in use, its powerful, low emission engine, and specially designed muffled blower tube operates at a quiet 65dB. For residential and municipal areas with noise restrictions, the BR 500 is the best choice. Its two position adjustable blower tube delivers greater control over its powerful air flow.

The BR 500 blower contains outstanding features such as:

Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.

Anti-Vibration System
STIHL has a system for minimizing the vibration levels of outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

Multi-Function Control Handle
Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.

Adjustable Support Harness
STIHL backpack blowers and sprayers are equipped with an adjustable support harness that distributes weight evenly across the shoulders and back, reducing user fatigue.

Low-Noise Sound Damper
A noise suppression muffler in the blower tube on the BR 500 makes this an ideal feature for homeowners or landscapers working in noise-sensitive areas.

Noise reduction with no sacrifice of power in one impressive back pack blower – what a concept! The Stihl BR 500 contains the best of both worlds. It is an amazing power tool for professional landscaping needs.
