Professional Power & Performance
The Husqvarna 550iBTX is a powerful, well-balanced, and ergonomic backpack battery blower designed for professional use. It delivers an impressive blow force of 21N, placing it at the top of its class for battery-powered performance. This allows for the efficient clearing of heavy leaves and debris over large areas. The blower is equipped with an easily accessible boost mode for maximum power when needed, and a cruise control function to set a constant air speed, reducing operator fatigue during long tasks.
Advanced Ergonomics and Control
Designed for all-day comfort, the 550iBTX features a comfortable, ventilated, and load-reducing harness with a hip belt and wide shoulder straps. The intuitive keypad on the handle has large buttons, making it easy to operate even with gloves on, and provides a clear view of the battery status and running mode. With extremely low vibration levels (0.1 m/s²) and quiet operation, this blower is perfectly suited for use in public spaces, residential areas, and other noise-restricted zones without causing a disturbance.
Intelligent and Durable Design
Built for the rigours of professional work, the 550iBTX is IPX4 weatherproof, allowing for reliable use in all weather conditions. Its efficient brushless motor offers higher efficiency, a longer lifetime, and less maintenance compared to traditional brushed motors. A clever cover conceals the cables between the handle and the blower unit for a clean design and reduced snagging risk. Integrated connectivity allows the machine to be easily linked with Husqvarna Fleet Services™, enabling fleet managers to track machine usage, service history, and its last known location. This model is supplied as a tool only, requiring a compatible Husqvarna BLi-X 36V battery and charger, which are sold separately. While a vacuum kit is not included, this machine is focused purely on high-performance blowing tasks.
