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.

- 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: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld. That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Be aware that, at 16.5 lbs the blower alone, the Stihl BGA 300 is on the heavier side of electric backpack blowers.
