The most powerful battery-powered blower in the STIHL line, the BGA 200 handheld blower not only provides nearly 25% more blowing force than the BGA 100, but is ideally suited for low-noise environments, and delivers a range of features that allow professional landscapers, and homeowners with large properties, to take on almost any blowing task.

Overview of the Stihl BGA 200

The Stihl BGA 200 in use

The Stihl BGA 200

  • Power: This cordless leaf blower features a maximum air volume rating of 553 CFM and an air speed rating of 188 MPH.
  • Power delivery: The Stihl blower features a brushless, battery-operated motor, ensuring cordless operation for superior mobility and convenience, perfect for hassle-free yard work.
  • Battery: The Stihl BGA 200 works with Stihl's AR and AP batteries. AR batteries are the recommended ones, as they are backpack-style and allow to shift the battery weight from the unit to the back, with the help of a high-performance cable connecting system. The unit's runtime will therefore depend on the type of battery you choose. By default, the blower doesn't come with any battery or charger.
  • Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. Be aware that, at 7.1 lbs without any battery, the Stihl BGA 200 may be perceived as heavier among cordless handheld blowers.
  • Speed Settings: With its variable speed settings, the Stihl BGA 200 allows you to precisely control its air output. In addition, the blower is also equipped with cruise control, with which the user can easily maintain the selected settings.
  • Noise: Its noise rating of 59 dB can be considered the standard for similar electric handheld blowers.

The Stihl BGA 200's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Stihl BGA 200 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).

  • Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 188 MPH, which is rather impressive for a battery-operated handheld blower between 36 and 48V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 350iB and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • The BGA 200 is powerful, with an airflow rating of 553 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is certainly on the high end compared to other cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
According to our stats, the following comparison is pretty popular: Stihl BGA 200 vs Stihl BGA 100.
