My only complaint is the vacuum part is pretty much useless if you have trees that drop anything but leaves. I got one, but have pinecones. The impeller jams on every one. Kinda sad about that. Other than that, it works great.
Great vid, got one myself just some stats for you, with the tapered tube the blow speed is 269mph and with the open tube, for clearing grass clippings and debris you get 162mph
Thank you for your great video. I think the Stihl BG86C leaf blowers are probably the most popular leaf blower on the market. I see many professionals and domestic gardens using these particular blowers. I have actually owned this particular and used many! So far I have never ever experienced a problem with any of these particular models. I'm currently using a Stihl backpack BR 600 blower, which is a great machine, I hope to upgrade to the BR 800 soon.
Wow, she took off at 4:25 ( haha ). I've just bought one to replace a still running, 27 year old BG75 that my son 'aquired' from me for his lawns. The stickers on mine say ' Made in USA from US and foreign parts '.....hmmm. Stihl, if it gives me half the life span of the old BG75, i'll be happy.
Jamie Eyre echo are better because with strip they r good but with there smaller machines they don't put as much time in to them as echo who take there time with all there machines and Honda r very goo
It stands for "Conformité Européenne". The mark proves that the product holds safety, health, and environmental protection requirements required in the European Economic Area (EEA). Has nothing to do with Chinese export.
The CE logo as shown here means is complies with EU regulations. If the C and E are closer together then it's not. This is referred to as Chinese Export.
Oh ok. Some people on my chinese chainsaw video said it was a chinese export. That's what made me think this was one also. Now I know the difference. Thanks.
You'd be better off mulching those leaves into the lawn with your mower. Quicker, quieter and better for the soil. You'd get improved drainage too. Sorry to hear your British accent - I guess they have made it to the UK. They weren't common when I left 20 years ago. How sad. Hope you give it up -- leaf blowers are neighborhood horrors.
