Description
Overview of the Stihl BGA 300
The Stihl BGA 300
- Power: This cordless leaf blower has a maximum air volume rating of 571 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed rating of 192 MPH.
- Power delivery: Stihl designed this unit and its brushless, battery-operated motor with top-of-the-food-chain maneuverability in mind. The BGA 300 doesn’t need to be plugged in, so you can take it anywhere easily.
- Battery: Its 41.2 Ah 36 V Li-ion battery (AR3000L battery not included) offers a maximum autonomy of 140 minutes on a full charge.
- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. However, for an electric backpack blower, the Stihl BGA 300 is heavier than most, weighing 16.5 lbs without any battery.
- Speed Settings: With 4 speed settings, this blower’s output can be set to meet the needs of jobs big or small.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 62 dB, the BGA 300 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the electric backpack category.

The Stihl BGA 300's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Stihl BGA 300 compare with backpack leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 40V).
- Air exiting the nozzle of this blower can reach 192 MPH, which is quite a bit faster than most battery-operated backpack blowers between 36 and 40V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Echo DPB-5800T and its 195 MPH could be an option to consider.
- As this unit is rated at 571 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most cordless backpack blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Ryobi RY404170, which boasts with 730 CFM.
- The BGA 300 is within the average range for cordless backpack units that operate between 36 and 40V, offering up to 140 minutes of running time when fully charged. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Makita CBU02Z can run for up to 240 minutes and could be worth considering.
