STIHL battery blower review

This is my review of the Stihl battery hand held leaf blower. The BGA 86, the BGA 100 and the BGA 200. The BGA 86 is my own machine and BGA 100/200 was sent to me by Stihl which I have now returned. For the official run times please go to Stihl website where all relevant run times are available. #Stihl #batterypower #batterygardentools

Great Video We recently went to a Stihl RMA 443vc for our smaller mower after beating the life out of a swiftgarden 120v mower for a few years but couldn't run any longer due to lack of spares and customer service, So far the Stihl has been amazing running it on a 300s battery it kicks the hell out of our Husqvarna lc353ivx. I have been looking to expand our Stihl range since having the 443vc but we have nowhere around me that really carries the range of battery stuff that we would want to see and use before we buy, seeing your video really helps, as I think blower is the next thing to get ,then onto the RMA 453 PV if we can find a place to try one first

Great review, I have the 36 volt Makita blower for domestic use, it is an absolute beast

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Nice review mate, I've had the bga100 for a few years and its been great with no problems at all. Cheers again 👍

[@jasongardener3425]

Cheers mate, the 100 is a very nice blower and more powerful than I expected, have you tried the 86 or 200. 🙂👍

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

@@jasongardener3425 no mate, only the 100 but may do at some point 🤞👍

[@HoopersGardenMaintenance]

Great honest review Jason👍🏼💨

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

The feathering on the switch's is impressive. Very good to use around graveled areas 👍

[@jasongardener3425]

Most definitely, gives you so much control, power is important, but also being able to back off the power is too. Cheers mate 👍 😀

[@lisawaters2585]

Very informative video, Jason. Enjoyable to watch. Good to see you again.

Great review!

Thank you Jeff 😊

[@stoneyblack6905]

Hi mate, how are you? I’ve got the 200 and love it, does everything I need it to do. I’m not sure with the 200 you tested, but mine has a spring lever catch under the blower tube to extend it out an extra 150 mm. Great review as usual. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Stoney…🍻

[@jasongardener3425]

Yes mate, I totally missed it out, as very difficult to squeeze so much information in, in a sensible time, the 200 is a beast of a blower, I was quite shocked how much power it had Cheers mate 👍

[@jasonhewlett1283]

An Ego man myself, but Stihl,s range has some great features. A good review btw.👍

[@jasongardener3425]

Thanks Jason, 👍 😊

[@YARDMASTER1234]

lets try them on some wet leaves to see how they work, im waiting on your hsa 100 hedge trimmer review. have you any updates on it so far?

[@jasongardener3425]

Iv used the bga86 on wet leaves throughout winter and no problem, so would imagine the 100 and 200 would cope fine too, probably even better. The hsa100, is sooo quiet and feels nice to use, but only got about 10 hours on it so far, but now the real trimming has started and hopefully a video in October/November time. 🙂👍

[@russellgaley3164]

Good review, about 2 year's ago you reviewed the Stihl rear roller mower the RM655RS,if you are still using this machine has it stood the test of time? Thanks Jason.

[@jasongardener3425]

Thanks Russell. I only had it for the season and then i had to hand it back, so can only say, the season I used it, it performed as it should with no issues. Sorry i can't help more. 👍👍

[@russellgaley3164]

Thanks for taking the time to reply,Jason, I am hopefully getting one at the end of the week,if my local dealer can get one, Stihl seem a bit short of that particular model.

[@jasongardener3425]

@@russellgaley3164 cool, always nice getting new tools, hope you get it soon 🤞👍

[@mrjamesmay3548]

How do these compare to the 2 stoke models are they equally as powerful? I have 50m x 50m car park to keep tidy and I can’t make up my mind if I’m better with electric or 2 stroke.. I’d personally prefer electric if it’s as good as?

[@jasongardener3425]

I think you need to look at the bga200, very capable and great for large areas

[@sirvozelo1]

I have the BGA 86 along with other Stihl AP battery running machines. The machines are great no question about, but the batteries are Gold priced and fall way short for the machines in a commercial use intend.

[@irionpleione8312]

I have the BGA 200 and it's perfect for around the house; from autumn leaves clearing to cleaning the paved yard in front of the garage; I would not say it's overkill, only that the poor battery gets sucked dry rather fast :D at high power settings.

[@jmljml5065]

Approximately how long will the AP300S last using the BGA 200? Without using boost?

[@irionpleione8312]

@@jmljml5065 ; not very long. It's enough to clean the leaves of 1 grown up walnut tree; while I bag the leaves the battery gets recharged. (I forgot from last year how long it lasts in minutes; also, you switch between two strongests settings. If you have two such batterries you can work without interruption. The boost drains the 300S battery at once; if you need that blow power get a petrol version = cheaper than the more expensive batteries (500; backpack).

[@jmljml5065]

That's disappointing...thank you.@@irionpleione8312

Присоединяюсь к вопросу

[@emersoncarvalho4269]

Tudo bem?Qual valor da bateria ap 2000 ?

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

Great machine's J👌pity you couldn't send one back to me & say you got the address wrong 😂😂

[@jasongardener3425]

🤣, or accidentally put one in wrong van 😅. Cheers geordie mate 👍

[@JoeMcCole-wu3np]

I just need my Stihl petrol blower to die, and I'll be getting one! 😂

[@jasongardener3425]

iv not used a petrol handheld, since I bought the bga86, just so nice to use, fingers crossed for you, a break down comes soon 😉 🤣

[@tasmedic]

This is very useful. I'm a bit disappointed that Stihl didn't let you keep the blowers. After all, they cost Stihl almost nothing, because they're nearly all made in China. Well, every one I've seen here in Australia was made there.

[@jmljml5065]

That's interesting, because here in the U.S. the ones I've seen are made in Austria.

[@fraudsarentfriends4717]

Must be affiliated in some way to Stihl, why else would they send them to you? These blowers are for California compliance. Nothing else For the rest of the country, gas is the best option.

[@jasongardener3425]

Iv have no affiliation with stihl, I'm a professional gardener with 35 years in horticultural/gardening, so qualified to test them and review for them or any company, the videos are worldwide, not aimed at anyone specifically, general information to help people

[@user-oi9bg6fx5t]

Every video you put out is a stihl commercial now. Great for small yard homeowners but useless for landscaping or people with large properties.

[@jasongardener3425]

Would have to disagree, on both counts, thanks for watching

[@jameswyeth8223]

Another great review Jason 👍

[@jasongardener3425]
