General Comments

I thoroughly recommend the BG 85 leaf blower. From the Stihl stable you know it will be reliable and long lasting. It's usually hard to get it out of someone's hands once they start blowing things around as it is good fun. If you are a gardening contractor it makes a good job great and in a very short space of time too. Don't get a cheap one, they are uncomfortable to use and under powered. Petrol is the only way to go (2 stroke). Don't use it on vacuum though, you will shred the blades. This model will vacuum but I don't recommend it. Only bad point, the thing falls over and rolls around in a vehicle when you are transporting it. Oh and don't leave it lying around, they are very easy to pinch.

    This review is absolutely correct. I have had a bg 85 for 4 years using it on a daily basis in my lawncare business. I sold it today for $40 (still works great but it has been USED!!) and am going to buy another one tomorrow. It really does a great job for what it is, I also have a red max ebz 8000 which will knock my 7 year old daughter off of her feet at close range...lol, but it is truly overkill for smaller jobs. So as long I do lawncare for a living I will have a bg 85 in my trailer. :^)
