Husqvarna 345BT petrol backpack blower: 22 N of force for quickly cleaning medium-large surfaces
The Husqvarna 345BT backpack blower is designed for those who have to move large quantities of leaves, grass clippings and plant debris and want a significant leap in performance compared to a classic handheld blower.
The 51.7 cm³ motor develops a power of 1.6 kW and allows a maximum blowing force of 22 N to be reached, with an air flow at the nozzle of up to 768 m³/h .
The real difference compared to a portable blower, however, is not just the power: the motor is carried on the back via a padded harness , allowing for better weight distribution and more comfortable work during prolonged sessions.
Cruise Control also allows you to maintain a constant blowing speed without having to continuously hold down the accelerator, while the Air Purge / primer system makes starting easier.
Who is the Husqvarna 345BT suitable for?
- Private individuals with medium-large gardens
- Owners of villas and large green areas
- Green maintenance workers
- Agricultural companies
- Those who need to frequently clean driveways and yards
- Who has a lot of leaves to manage in the autumn period
- Those who want to switch from a hand-held blower to a backpack model
Why choose Husqvarna 345BT?
22 N blowing force
This is the figure that best describes the machine's actual capacity to move leaves and debris. The 22 N allow it to handle large accumulations and work more productively than manual blowers.
Air flow up to 768 m³/h at the nozzle
The high air volume allows you to quickly move large quantities of material and reduce the number of passes required.
Air speed up to 120.7 m/s
The concentrated jet is useful when you need to remove leaves or debris that tend to stick to the surface.
51.7 cm³ 1.6 kW engine
A significant engine capacity for a backpack blower intended for frequent cleaning of medium-large surfaces.
Padded harness
The weight of the machine is supported by the back rather than entirely by the arm. During long jobs, the difference compared to a manual blower becomes noticeable.
Cruise Control
It allows you to set a constant blowing speed and continue working without continuously keeping the throttle in the same position.
Primer to make starting easier
The Air Purge system helps to properly prepare the fuel system and makes the starting phase easier.
1.26 litre tank
The tank capacity allows you to tackle large cleaning sessions with limited interruptions for refueling.
Where does it really make a difference?
- Large gardens with many plants
- Autumn leaf piles
- Driveways and driveways
- Courtyards and squares
- Parking and outdoor areas
- Cleaning after grass cutting and brush cutting
- Plant residues on large surfaces
When it's NOT the right choice
- If you only need to clean a small terrace or courtyard
- If you use the blower a few minutes at a time
- If you want a very compact machine that you can take and put away quickly
- If you need to work in areas where noise and emissions are a problem
- If you are looking for superior professional performance for very intensive use
Weighing in at around 9.96kg , the 345BT makes sense especially when the job is important enough to really take advantage of the benefits of a backpack machine.
Husqvarna 345BT vs. 360BT: Which One Should You Choose?
The comparison with the Husqvarna 360BT is particularly useful because it allows you to understand when it is really worth moving up to a higher category blower.
The 345BT already offers significant performance with 22 N and 768 m³/h, while maintaining a lower displacement, weight and price.
The 360BT, on the other hand, makes a significant leap in terms of working capacity: it increases to 65.6 cm³, 2.84 kW, 30 N and 1,080 m³/h . Husqvarna in fact defines it as a professional backpack blower intended for the most demanding tasks.
| Characteristic | Husqvarna 345BT | Husqvarna 360BT |
|---|
| Typology | Backpack blower | Professional backpack blower |
| Displacement | 51.7 cm³ | 65.6 cm³ |
| Power output | 1.6 kW | 2.84 kW |
| Maximum blowing force | 22 N | 30 N |
| Max air flow at nozzle | 768 m³/h | 1,080 m³/h |
| Max air speed | 120.7 m/s | 104 m/s |
| Fuel tank | 1.26 l | 2.2 l |
| Fuel consumption | 466 g/kWh | 422 g/kWh |
| Weight | 9.96 kg | 10.5 kg |
| Grip vibrations | 6.1 m/s² | 2.5 m/s² |
| Operator noise pressure | 110 dB(A) | 104 dB(A) |
| X-Torq engine | — | ✔️ Yes |
| Ideal use | Demanding private individual and frequent maintenance | Professional use and larger surfaces |
👉 Bottom line: Choose the Husqvarna 345BT if you want a powerful backpack blower for medium-large gardens, driveways and frequent jobs , but you don’t really need the performance of a superior professional machine.
Choose the Husqvarna 360BT instead if you have larger surfaces, large quantities of leaves, heavier material to move or frequent professional uses : the 30 N and 1,080 m³/h make a significant difference in productivity.
Fabrizio 's usage tips and suggestions
On a backpack blower the first thing I would look at is not the maximum air speed, but the blowing force expressed in Newtons .
The 345BT reaches 22 N: for a large private garden or for those who have to do frequent cleaning it is already a good machine.
Adjust the shoulder straps well before starting
It may seem trivial, but almost 10 kg carried incorrectly on the back becomes heavy very quickly.
Adjust the harness so the blower sits close to your back and is well-balanced . A proper fit allows for easier movement of the hose and reduces fatigue.
Don't always use maximum power
To clear a driveway of grass clippings or small debris, you don't always need to work at maximum power.
Adjust the throttle according to the material and use cruise control when you find the right speed. You'll use less fuel, make less noise, and work with greater control.
With leaves, work in zones
Don't try to push all the leaves to the other side of the garden at once.
I would first create small accumulations , working progressively in the same direction, and only at the end would I reunite them. It's much faster and you waste less material.
Wet leaves? Move the jet closer.
When the leaves are wet they tend to stick to the ground.
In this case, use the jet closest to the surface and work at a low angle: you make better use of the air speed to start lifting the material.
On light material, move away
Dust, dry grass, and very light leaves require the opposite approach.
If you use full power too close, you risk simply spilling everything. Reduce the throttle or increase the distance of the hose from the surface.
The 345BT or the 360BT?
If you have to clean a large private garden, paths and a lot of leaves in autumn, the 345BT with 22 N in my opinion already offers important performance.
If you do green maintenance for a living, have to clean large properties or want to reduce times as much as possible, the 360BT with 30 N is a clear step up: almost the same weight, but much more air and blowing force.
Clean the air filter regularly
A blower inevitably works among dust and debris.
Checking and cleaning the filter periodically allows the engine to breathe properly and helps maintain performance and reliability over time.
My final advice
I see the Husqvarna 345BT as the right model for those who have outgrown the limits of a handheld blower and want a real backpack machine, but without immediately climbing into the most powerful professional range.
👉 In practice: 22 N is already a lot of power for demanding home use; if you have to work with it every day or want to maximize productivity, move directly to the 360BT.
