Zoom on the Stihl BGA 60
The Stihl BGA 60
With its cordless handheld design, the Stihl BGA 60 is best suited to homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It features a maximum air speed of 154 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 459 cubic feet per minute (CFM). 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.
The BGA 60 features a 36V brushless motor, providing cordless operation for flexibility and mobility. It is supplied with a 4.8Ah battery which can offer up to 16 minutes of runtime per charge.
With its adjustable airflow through variable speed settings, the Stihl BGA 60 puts control in the hands of the user, allowing for tailored performance.
At 5.1 lbs (bare tool) and 8 lbs with the battery, the blower’s handheld design lets the operator lift and aim it with one hand.

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.
- The Stihl BGA 60 expels air at speeds up to 154 MPH, showcasing typical air speed performance 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.
- The BGA 60 is average in terms of air volume. It's rated at 459 CFM, which is common 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.
- 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 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. The Stihl BGA 60 shows relatively low runtime efficiency, providing fewer minutes of operation for each unit of battery power. 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.
