The STIHL BG 86 is a very powerful handheld petrol leaf blower, expertly designed for clearing large areas of leaves and grass, even in very dusty conditions, making it ideal for homeowners and professionals alike.
The STIHL BG 86 is an exceptionally powerful handheld petrol leaf blower designed to make light work of clearing large areas of leaves, grass cuttings, and other garden debris. Its robust performance makes it a popular choice for discerning homeowners, professional landscapers, and municipal maintenance teams. It comes equipped with both a round and a flat nozzle, allowing you to adapt the airflow for different tasks, from broad clearing to stubborn, wet leaves.
A key feature of the BG 86 is its new HD2 filter, which provides excellent protection against fine dust, ensuring reliable performance and engine longevity even when working in the dustiest conditions. This makes it a dependable tool for demanding, all-season use.
At the heart of the BG 86 is STIHL’s highly efficient 2-MIX engine. This advanced 2-stroke engine technology reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions while delivering consistent high power levels, complying with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive. Starting is made quicker and easier thanks to a manual fuel pump, which reduces the number of pulls required, especially after long breaks.
Operator comfort is paramount during long working days. The STIHL anti-vibration system uses buffer and spring elements to reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle, minimising operator fatigue. Further enhancing usability is the locking throttle trigger, which allows you to set the desired engine speed, and a simple stop button that immediately shuts off the engine but leaves it ready for a quick restart.
For additional peace of mind, the domestic warranty can be extended from 2 to 3 years with the purchase of 5 litres of STIHL MotoMix® fuel.

The STIHL BG 86 is a versatile and powerful blower ideal for a wide range of users. It’s powerful enough for professional landscapers and municipal workers clearing large public spaces, yet user-friendly and comfortable enough for homeowners with large gardens or estates who need to manage significant amounts of leaves and debris.
The BG 86 is equipped with STIHL’s advanced HD2 filter. This filter is made from a polyethylene material with pores that are up to 70% finer than standard fleece and polyamide filters, effectively trapping even very fine dust. It is also oil- and water-repellent, making it easy to clean and very durable.
Yes, the STIHL BG 86 is supplied with both a round nozzle and a flat nozzle. The round nozzle provides a high volume of air for clearing large areas of dry leaves, while the flat nozzle creates a more concentrated, high-velocity jet of air, which is excellent for removing wet, stubborn leaves from surfaces.
The STIHL 2-MIX engine is a modern 2-stroke engine that combines high power output with improved fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions. It achieves this by creating a layer of fuel-free air between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel that escapes during the charge cycle. This results in lower running costs and a more environmentally friendly operation compared to conventional 2-stroke engines.
