JoeKi's Review of Stihl BG 85 Leaf Blower

17th May 2008

Good Points

Light weight and the fact that it has cruise control.


Bad Points

Could use a bigger fuel tank. But that would add more weight.


General Comments

I bought a Stihl BG 55 and returned it for a Stihl BG 85 Leaf Blower the same day. I had no problem swapping them at the Stihl dealer even though I had used it. I wanted more power, the tapered nozzle and the anti vibrate grip. The reason I went with a Stihl was because I had had a Sears blower that broke in about 3 years. It would of cost more to fix it than the unit was worth. After some research I found out that most consumer leaf blowers, edgers, trimmers, etc come with either a 30 hr or a 50 hr motor life. I was willing to pay a little more to get the 100hr motor life that a Stihl has. I was thinking of getting the Husqvarna but if it breaks there would be no local dealer for me to bring it to to get it fixed.
