STIHL BGA 86 CORDLESS BLOWER
Powerful, light-weight and quiet

The new STIHL BGA 86 cordless blower allows convenient and low-noise cleaning of large areas.

 

Replacing the popular BGA 85, the new STIHL BGA 86 cordless blower has a blowing force of 15 Newton, is 50% more powerful, yet noticeably lighter and quieter.

 

High blowing power and low weight, infinitely variable speed control and a perfect balance: all this and much more make the BGA 86 blower from STIHL a valuable partner in the fight against large quantities of leaves, grass and paper waste.

 

Professional and domestic users with larger gardens can benefit from the STIHL BGA 86’s energy-saving, low-noise and emission-free performance. Thanks to the moderate noise emission, no hearing protection is required when operating the tool and its use is unrestricted even in noise-sensitive areas, such as densely populated residential areas or in the vicinity of hospitals and retirement homes.

 

STIHL has also succeeded in reducing the gyroscopic forces of the machine thanks to the compact fan unit that features a highly efficient turbine. This feature, combined with the blower’s centre of gravity near to the handle, makes the BGA 86 comfortable to use and allows the tool to be handled with little effort.

 

For additional comfort, the quick adjustment of the blower tube ensures optimum adaptation to the user's body size. The professional blower from the STIHL PRO cordless system can be combined with all batteries from the STIHL AP series and can also be used in wet or rainy conditions. With the AP 300 battery, the blower provides 21 minutes working time.

 

The BGA 86 will be available from Spring 2020 and the recommended retail price is £260 without battery and charger, or £520 with AP 300 battery and AL 300 charger.

 

The details at a glance:

 

• Powerful and light-weight

The STIHL BGA 86 is suitable for professional and domestic applications. Thanks to the EC motor and efficient turbine, the cordless blower with 15 Newton and an air flow rate of up to 780 m³/h offers up to 50% more blowing power than the BGA 85. At the same time, the BGA 86 weighs only 2.8 kg without battery, 0.4 kg less than the BGA 85.

 

• Adjustable and low-noise

The speed of the BGA 86 can be precisely adjusted directly on the handle. Even at maximum blowing power, the tool generates a sound power level of only 91 dB(A), making it unrestrictedly suitable for use in noise-sensitive areas. No hearing protection is required for the user.

 

• Intelligent and balanced

The fan unit is extremely compact with a diameter of 95mm. The associated reduction in rotating masses has made it possible to significantly reduce the gyroscopic forces that would otherwise occur in tools of this type. The centre of gravity is near to the handle, ensuring the perfect balance of the BGA 86 and enabling comfortable and effortless operation.

 

• Individually adaptable

The BGA 86 has an innovative nozzle that is length adjustable by approximately 16cm and can be adjusted to the user's size in a matter of seconds through a quick-release adjustment mechanism. This feature avoids blowing force losses due to too large a ground clearance., whilst making it adaptable to the users height. A flat nozzle, available as an accessory, helps against particularly stubborn dirt: it increases the already high air velocity even further.

 

• Modular battery system

A 36V lithium-ion battery from the STIHL PRO cordless system supplies the energy required to operate the BGA 86. In addition to the new blower, this includes more than 20 other tools for a wide range of applications, as well as batteries with different energy supplies and chargers. The AP 300 battery is recommended for the operation of the BGA 86.

 

* K-factor according to Directive 2006/42/EC = 2.0 dB(A); ** K-factor according to Directive 2006/42/EC = 2 m/s²; *** With round nozzle in blow mode;
