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).

  • Air exiting this blower's nozzle can reach speeds of 154 MPH, marking it as considerably swifter than most battery-operated handheld blowers. 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 Stihl BGA 60 boasts an airflow rate of 459 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is standard for cordless handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
  • Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 16 minutes from its battery, which means the BGA 60 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Makita CBU01Z which offers up to 300 minutes of runtime.
