Description
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.
Zoom on the Stihl BGA 200
The Stihl BGA 200
The Stihl BGA 200 is a cordless handheld blower that is mostly aimed at homeowners with homes with expansive outdoor areas (the kind that is more measured in acres than square feet).
It delivers up to 553 CFM of air volume and 188 MPH of air speed. In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.
This cordless blower is powered by a 36V brushless motor, allowing unrestricted movement during use. 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.
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.
With a weight of 7.1 lbs, this handheld unit enables one-handed use in tighter areas. When using an AR3000L battery, the total weight of the blower reaches around 28 lbs.
The Stihl BGA 200 carries an IPX4 rating, meaning it’s protected from splashes of water, useful when working in damp grass or light drizzle.

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).
- The Stihl BGA 200 fits squarely within the average weight range for cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range, at 7.1 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a max speed of 188 MPH. This puts the BGA 200 ahead of the pack as far as air speed is concerned in battery-operated handheld blowers 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.
- At 553 CFM, the BGA 200's air volume output is typical for cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi RY40HPLB01K, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:
