Zoom on the Stihl BGA 60
The Stihl BGA 60
The Stihl BGA 60 is a cordless handheld blower that is suited for homeowners with a patio or small yard that does not require frequent or large-scale cleanup.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 459 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 154 miles per hour (MPH). To put it simply, it combines strong airflow to move piles of leaves in the yard with enough force to clear heavier material such as pine needles or acorns from patios and walkways.
This model comes with a 36V brushless motor, designed for cordless use and easy maneuvering. One 4.8Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 16 minutes of runtime when fully charged.
The Stihl BGA 60 stands out for its customizable airflow, thanks to its variable speed settings, which cater to users seeking tailored performance.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 5.1 lbs as a bare tool and 8 lbs with the battery installed, while still being suited for one-handed operation with controlled airflow.

The Stihl BGA 60's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Stihl BGA 60 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- At only 5.1 lbs (bare tool), the Stihl BGA 60 offers a lighter option within the cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 154 MPH, which is within the expected range for 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.
- With a maximum airflow of 459 CFM (cubic feet per minute), this model falls squarely within the average range 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.
- When fully charged, the BGA 60 offers up to 16 minutes of autonomy, which may be considered relatively short compared to cordless handheld units of comparable voltage. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Stihl BGA 200 which offers up to 535 minutes of runtime.
- Because larger batteries naturally increase runtime, it can be helpful to consider runtime efficiency, a measure of how effectively a blower uses the energy available. With its current setup, the Stihl BGA 60 offers a lower level of runtime efficiency compared to the other compared battery-powered handheld models. If you are focused on getting more use per charge, the Stihl BGA 50 offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 0.8 minutes per Wh.
