STIHL Inc.

“Porsche Engineering Group Finds STIHL BR 600 More Fuel Efficient
Than Competitors” • www.stihlusa.com

A study conducted by the Porsche Engineering Group GmbH found that the STIHL BR 600 backpack blower is up to 28% more fuel efficient than competitive models, which can provide up to $644.00 in fuel savings per unit in two seasons, depending on fuel costs and run time. The STIHL BR 600 is also the cleanest running backpack blower in its class with 73% less emissions than current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements (based upon information reported as of December 8, 2008, on the EPA Web site).

The Porsche study tested backpack blowers at wide open throttle 85% of the time and at idle for the remaining 15%. All the units tested were the U.S. versions, the same as available in stores, and all units were set to their respective manufacturer specifications during testing.

The STIHL BR 600 led the competitors’ models in the Porsche study, ranking the highest in fuel efficiency. The STIHL BR 550, STIHL’s value-priced backpack blower, was also tested in the Porsche study and was found to be 16% more fuel efficient than the BR 600. In a separate comparison, based on specifications from each manufacturer and not associated with the Porsche study, the BR 600 also was ranked as the lightest weight model and the most powerful in air volume in its class.

Home is the most comfortable place to be. Often, our aging parents or grandparents have lived in their homes for 30 to 50 years. Many are medically stable and not in need of skilled nursing and have no desire to leave the homes they love solely for companionship or housekeeping assistance. Our work or other commitments may make it difficult or impossible to provide the assistance our loved one needs.

This is precisely the purpose for which Visiting Angels was created. They can transport your loved one to doctor appointments, the grocery store, post office or on other errands. Their carefully screened, bonded and insured personnel can provide companionship on an hourly basis. Contact Visiting Angels at (252) 261-9911 for more information on their services and rates.
