Description

Overview of the Stihl SH 86 C-E

• Power: The Stihl SH 86 C-E is a gas-powered leaf blower. It sports a max air speed of 169 MPH and a max air volume rating of 444 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
• Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. Be aware that, at 12.3 lbs, the Stihl SH 86 C-E is on the heavier side for gas-powered handheld blowers.
• Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 27.2 cc. As you may or may not know, 2-stroke engines require a mixture of gasoline and oil in order to keep all the moving parts lubricated while fuelling the engine’s internal combustion. The fuel/oil ratio recommended by Stihl for the SH 86 C-E is 50:1.
• Speed Settings: For those who are keen on having complete control while operating their leaf blower, the SH 86 C-E offers variable speed settings.
• Vacuum: As a blower vac, the SH 86 C-E handily vacuums unwanted material into its storage bag for easy disposal.
• Mulching: Its mulching ratio is 14:1, meaning that it will turn 14 bags of soft debris into one bag of mulch.
• Noise: As far as gas-powered handheld blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 70 dB.
• Fuel Tank: Its tank can hold 14.9 fl. oz., so it falls squarely in the average in terms of fuel capacity.
• Easy2Start™: The SH 86 C-E has the letter “E” in its name, which is Stihl’s indication that it benefits from Stihl’s proprietary Easy2Start™ (also called “ErgoStart”) technology. As the name suggests, this technology makes the starter mechanism more reliable thanks to an additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter rope. Upon pulling the starter rope, the engine will attempt to start regardless of how hard the rope was pulled – even a simple two-finger pull is sufficient to start it. Easy2Start™ allows the SH 86 C-E to be started with remarkably less effort than most other blowers.
