Description
The STIHL BGA 30 Cordless Leaf Blower Set is a compact and exceptionally lightweight battery blower for quick cleaning jobs around the home. Supplied with two STIHL AS 2 batteries and a compatible STIHL AS System charger, this complete set is ready for customers who are starting or expanding a collection of STIHL AS cordless tools.
At Masseys, we recommend the BGA 30 for clearing dry leaves, grass clippings, dust and light debris from patios, paths, driveways, steps, entrances, garages and garden furniture. The short and long nozzle configurations make it more versatile than a conventional fixed-tube blower.
Our honest assessment: the BGA 30 is best treated as a lightweight quick-clean-up blower. Its low weight, controllable airflow and compact battery make it particularly convenient for regular tidying. It is not intended to replace a larger blower for extensive lawns, deep autumn leaf fall or dense piles of soaking-wet leaves.
What is included with the STIHL BGA 30 set?
- 1 x STIHL BGA 30 cordless leaf blower
- 2 x STIHL AS 2 lithium-ion batteries
- 1 x compatible STIHL AS System charger
- Long blower tube for clearing at ground level
- Short nozzle configuration for furniture, work surfaces and confined areas
Each AS 2 battery provides approximately eight minutes of working time at maximum power or up to approximately 25 minutes at a lower power setting. Actual runtime will vary according to the trigger setting, material being moved and working conditions.
Where does the STIHL BGA 30 work best?
The BGA 30 is particularly well suited to:
- Clearing dry leaves from patios, paving and paths
- Removing grass clippings after mowing or strimming
- Cleaning around garden furniture, pots and planters
- Blowing dust and light debris from garages and workshops
- Keeping steps, entrances and small parking areas tidy
- Quick clean-ups where a petrol blower would be unnecessarily heavy or noisy
It can move small amounts of damp material from a hard surface, but customers regularly clearing heavy wet leaves or larger areas should consider a more powerful machine. View the STIHL BGA 50 cordless leaf blower or compare the complete range of STIHL leaf blowers.
Key features of the STIHL BGA 30
Extremely lightweight and easy to handle
The BGA 30 weighs just 1.5 kg without the battery and approximately 1.7 kg with an AS 2 battery fitted. Its low weight makes it comfortable for short, regular clearing jobs and easier to manoeuvre around furniture, pots and confined spaces.
Variable blowing force
The trigger gives you stepless control over the airflow. Use a lower setting when working around gravel, delicate planting or furniture, then increase the blowing force when clearing more stubborn material from hard surfaces.
Short and long blower configurations
The blower can be changed quickly between two configurations. Use the long tube when clearing leaves and debris at ground level. Switch to the short nozzle for tables, benches, shelving, workshops and other smaller areas where a full-length tube would be inconvenient.
Two AS 2 batteries included
The set contains two interchangeable AS 2 batteries. This lets you swap batteries during larger clean-up jobs rather than stopping after a single charge. The batteries can also be shared with compatible tools in the STIHL AS domestic cordless range.
Suitable for noise-sensitive areas
With no petrol engine, fuel mixing or trailing cable, the BGA 30 is a convenient option for residential gardens and other locations where low noise, low weight and simple operation are priorities.
Compact storage
An integrated hanging eyelet allows the blower to be stored neatly on a suitable wall hook in a shed, garage or workshop.

STIHL BGA 30 frequently asked questions
How long does the STIHL BGA 30 battery last?
One STIHL AS 2 battery provides approximately eight minutes of continuous operation at maximum power or up to approximately 25 minutes at a lower setting. The set contains two batteries, allowing you to swap to a charged battery when required.
Does the STIHL BGA 30 set include batteries and a charger?
Yes. This Masseys listing is for the complete BGA 30 set and includes two STIHL AS 2 batteries and a compatible STIHL AS System charger. It is not a tool-only listing.
Is the STIHL BGA 30 powerful enough for wet leaves?
It can clear small amounts of damp leaves and light debris from patios, paths and other hard surfaces. It is not designed for large volumes of heavy, compacted or soaking-wet leaves. For more demanding work, compare it with the STIHL BGA 50 or another larger STIHL blower.
Can the STIHL BGA 30 be used on a lawn?
It can be used for light clearing around a small garden, but its main strength is cleaning hard surfaces, furniture and confined areas. Customers regularly clearing a large lawn or substantial autumn leaf fall will normally be better served by a more powerful blower.
Can I use the AS 2 batteries in other STIHL tools?
Yes. The AS 2 batteries are interchangeable with compatible products in the STIHL AS System, including selected strimmers, hedge trimmers, handheld pruners, pressure cleaners and other compact cordless tools.
Does the STIHL BGA 30 have variable speed?
Yes. Pressure on the trigger controls the blowing force, allowing you to reduce the airflow around delicate areas or use maximum power for more stubborn debris.
Is the BGA 30 supplied with both blower tubes?
Yes. The supplied tube components allow the blower to be configured with a long tube for ground-level clearing or a short nozzle for furniture, shelving and smaller spaces.
