Feel, Fuel & Noise

As the BGA 57 and the BGA 60 are both Stihl blowers, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.

• Handling: Being handheld blowers, these two products ensure exceptional mobility while in use.
• Power Source: Both products are battery-powered blowers, utilizing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly power source that you can conveniently recharge.
• Weight:
  In order to compare the weight of these 2 units, we first need to keep in mind that the Stihl BGA 60 comes with a battery, while the Stihl BGA 57 is a bare tool. Thus, for the comparison to make sense, we must consider the bare tool weight of the BGA 60. Both devices weigh 5.1 lbs without any battery. Thus, should you use similar batteries, both units should be similarly heavy for you to operate.
• Noise: At 64 dB, the noise rating of the Stihl BGA 57 surpasses that of the Stihl BGA 60, which stands at 56 dB. Therefore, choosing the Stihl BGA 60 could offer a quieter environment for both you and your neighbors.

CFM & MPH

• CFM:
  In comparison, the Stihl BGA 60, with a CFM of 459, beats the 365 CFM of the Stihl BGA 57, making it the superior landscaping tool of the two, when it comes to the amount of leaves that can be blown per minute.
• MPH: The Stihl BGA 60's MPH of 154 beats the 123 MPH of the Stihl BGA 57. It therefore expels air faster and should aid you blowing leaves on grass or lifting heavy debris (acorns, etc.) and wet leaves more effectively.

Other features

• Vacuum Ability: Both the Stihl BGA 57 and the Stihl BGA 60 lack leaf vacuuming features, meaning you'll need to employ another method for leaf collection.
