What Types of STIHL Leaf Blowers Are Available?

STIHL blowers generally fall into two power categories: gas-powered blowers and battery-powered blowers.

Gas blowers are a strong choice for longer run times and demanding cleanup. Battery blowers offer easy starting, lower noise, cordless convenience, and less routine maintenance.

You can also choose between handheld STIHL blowers for quick cleanup and backpack blowers for larger properties and extended use.

Gas vs. Battery STIHL Leaf Blowers

A battery STIHL blower is a great choice when easy starting, cordless operation, lower noise, and reduced routine maintenance are priorities.

Models such as the BGA 60 are well suited to routine residential cleanup, while the BGA 250 provides a higher-performance battery option for larger properties and more demanding work.

A gas STIHL blower may be the better fit when longer run times and sustained performance are important. Options range from compact handheld blowers such as the BG 50 to powerful backpack blowers such as the BR 600 and BR 800 C-E MAGNUM®.

Handheld vs. Backpack STIHL Blowers

Choose a handheld leaf blower for patios, driveways, sidewalks, smaller yards, and shorter cleanup jobs.

Choose a backpack blower when you regularly maintain a larger property, work for longer periods, or need additional power for heavy leaves and debris.

For many homeowners, a handheld model provides all the performance needed. For acreage, heavy cleanup, and professional work, a backpack blower can make larger jobs much more manageable.

How Much Does a STIHL Leaf Blower Cost?

STIHL leaf blower prices vary depending on the model, power source, performance level, and whether you choose a handheld or backpack blower.

Compact handheld blowers are generally the entry point, while higher-performance battery models and professional backpack blowers typically cost more.

Because pricing and availability can change, check P&P Small Engines for current STIHL blower prices and available models.
