I’d consider this blower the most powerful handheld I’ve ever used. It’s priced around $250.00. That’s a little pricey but worth it. It’s a good unit for what it is, but my only concern is comfort. Why? Watch the video to find out.
Here’s some info on the unit itself… https://www.stihlusa.com/products/blowers-and-shredder-vacs/professional-blowers/bg86/
I shouted out SEF The Lawn Surgeon at one point in the video.

Jake the snake … spi tx
did you buy a walker Mower
It’s not a bad blower. But mine takes forever to warm up. I only have about 4-5 hours of run time on mine. I literally start it, put it on the ground and come back to it 3-5 mins later so it’s warmed up.
should just spend few more bucks and get the Sh 86 model. sheder vac/ blower. you will find out its just as good as any backpack blower. nice review
Great info and Edit Jake!
Great channel friend
greetings from Mexico
For another $50 you can buy a used br 600 on Craigslist
Shindi has the best most powerful handheld, I tried it and it was like a backpack in a small package.
I think for the extra $20, I would just get the br200 backpack, handhelds just numb me up, good video!
Ok thank you
Backpack is definitely the way to go
Great, informative review! Try it with the round tip next time for leaves, it will feel so much more powerful.
they are $499 in Australia
Great video Jake! You also did an amazing job on the edit!
Where did you get your echo leaf blower from
great video ..stihl for sure combines durability with performance …try taking off all the nosel l extensione with only the initial one left like geek to freak used to do. .it helps make it so much more maneuverable and doesn’t feel as cumbersome makes it feel more comfortable .. just a suggestion great video
(:
Since I have 5 properties to clean up during the fall I have a br430
Nice review.. only thing i wish people would do is make videos of equipment once its about a year or 2 old. That way we can see how they hold up.
Is that going to be your new blower
Great honest review. Thanks!
i seen the 86
I love that handblower, couldn’t agree more with you Jake, I use one daily during the warm months where I work
How about reviews on leaf mulcher/shredders?
You can buy a backpack blower for 250
I bought a bg86 early spring this year. Works like a beast!
good video Jake
cheap lightweight and powerful handheld blower is the HITACHI… i have 4 years with it….non problem
I used my BG55 just yesterday. Property looks better and I feel like I’m ready for Spring.
you be publishing some crispy videos
I have got this blower now thank you
What did you get for Christmas jake
Good review bud,do you have a p.o box can I send you a backpack blower
I just recently bought Stihls BG50 in Ausgust. I wanted something small for blowing out flower beds and little stuff like that because I already have an Echo PB 580. THe BG 50 is extremely lihgtweight and easy to use. Best bang for your buck for only $130-$140
I have got one now thank you
The music montage in the end was awesome! Great review bro.
My neighbor got that blower last spring,you would always hear it running and it would shut off…..AHH DANG IT!! lol!
Jake Where is your hearing protection? You did not mention the sound difference or what you thought of how loud this machine is? Blower sound is a big issue in some neighborhoods
Stihl is the best. German all the way
I have the fs56 trimmer that has the same kind of engine. That the bg86 has
ok
For a first time homeowner getting first equipment, do you still recommend the echo?
