Stihl BGA 60 Cordless Leaf Blower

The STIHL BGA 60 cordless leaf blower combines strong blowing performance with the convenience of the 36 V STIHL AK battery system. Designed for homeowners with medium to large gardens, it is ideal for clearing dry leaves, grass clippings and loose debris from lawns, paths, patios, driveways and other areas around the home.

With up to 15 N blowing force, variable speed control and an additional Power Boost function, the BGA 60 gives you the control needed for lighter tidying as well as the extra output required for heavier leaf build-up. There are no pull cords, fuel mixtures or trailing electrical cables to manage.

Is the STIHL BGA 60 right for you?

The BGA 60 is a particularly good choice for homeowners who want more blowing performance than a lightweight entry-level cordless blower, while remaining within STIHL’s domestic AK battery platform.

The BGA 60 is well suited to:

• Medium to large domestic gardens
• Clearing leaves from lawns, paths, patios and driveways
• Moving grass clippings after mowing or strimming
• Users who already own STIHL AK System batteries
• Residential areas where low-noise cordless operation is preferable
• Customers who want variable power rather than a simple fixed-speed blower

Consider another model if:

• You only need a light blower for occasional patio or path cleaning
• You need a machine that can also vacuum and shred leaves
• You require a blower for prolonged daily professional use
• You regularly clear very large volumes of wet or compacted leaves

Why choose the STIHL BGA 60 cordless blower?

• Power Boost on demand: press the trigger fully to access maximum blowing output when you reach heavier debris or leaf build-up.
• Variable blowing force: reduce the output for greater control around gravel, borders and delicate areas, then increase it when more power is required.
• 15 N maximum blowing force: strong domestic performance for clearing larger outdoor areas.
• Up to 60% more blowing power than the BGA 57 in Boost mode: a useful step up for more demanding domestic clearing.
• Adjustable blower tube: the tube extends by up to approximately 16 cm, helping users work at a comfortable height while keeping the nozzle close to the surface.
• Protective metal nozzle ring: helps reduce wear when the end of the blower tube makes contact with the ground or other hard surfaces.
• STIHL AK System compatibility: share compatible batteries between a wide range of STIHL domestic cordless garden tools.

Tool-only or battery and charger kit

Select the option that best matches the STIHL equipment you already own.

STIHL BGA 60 tool only

Choose the tool-only version if you already have a suitable STIHL AK System battery and charger. The tool-only option does not include a battery or charger.

STIHL BGA 60 kit

Choose a kit option if this is your first STIHL AK System tool or if you require another battery and charger. Please check the selected variation before ordering, as the variation description confirms the exact battery and charger supplied.

STIHL currently recommends the AK 30 S battery for the BGA 60 because it provides the longest working time in the current AK battery range and helps balance the blower during use.

STIHL BGA 60 features

Variable speed control

The multifunction handle allows you to regulate the blower’s output while working. Lower settings are useful when clearing light material or working around gravel and planted areas, while higher settings provide more force for larger piles of leaves.

Power Boost

Pressing the trigger beyond the selected power level activates maximum blowing force immediately. This lets you deal with a heavier patch of debris without stopping to change a separate control.

Adjustable blower tube

The tool-free blower tube can be extended in stages to suit different users. Keeping the nozzle at an appropriate distance from the surface improves comfort and helps avoid unnecessary loss of blowing performance.

Metal wear ring

A durable metal ring around the end of the round nozzle helps protect the blower tube from wear caused by accidental contact with paths, patios and other hard surfaces.

Efficient EC motor

The low-maintenance EC motor provides efficient cordless performance without the fuel, exhaust emissions or starting procedure associated with a petrol blower.

Hanging eyelet

An integrated hanging point allows the BGA 60 to be stored securely and compactly when it is not in use.

STIHL Smart Connector compatible

The BGA 60 can be fitted with a compatible STIHL Smart Connector, allowing operating hours and maintenance information to be recorded through the STIHL connected system.

Battery compatibility and working times

The STIHL BGA 60 can be operated with batteries from the STIHL AK System. Battery working time varies considerably according to the battery used, selected power level, conditions and working technique.

These figures are maximum guide times. Actual working time will vary according to the power setting, battery condition, temperature, material being moved and the way the blower is used.

How does the STIHL BGA 60 compare?

Masseys expert verdict

The BGA 60 is the strongest choice in the STIHL AK blower range for customers who regularly clear a medium or large domestic garden. Its main advantages over a lighter blower are the additional Boost performance, good power control and adjustable tube.

For small patios, short paths and occasional grass-clipping removal, the BGA 50 may be all that is required. For regular commercial use, a STIHL AP System blower such as the BGA 86 is generally the more appropriate platform. Customers who expect to use maximum power continuously should also consider a spare battery, as maximum-output working time is considerably shorter than runtime at reduced power.

Frequently asked questions

Does the STIHL BGA 60 include a battery and charger?

This depends on the option selected. The tool-only version does not include a battery or charger. Kit options include the equipment stated in the individual variation description, so check the selected option before adding it to your basket.

Which battery is recommended for the STIHL BGA 60?

STIHL recommends the AK 30 S. It provides the longest current AK System working time and is designed to give the BGA 60 good balance during use.

How long does the STIHL BGA 60 run for?

With an AK 30 S battery, the guide working time ranges from up to approximately 130 minutes at lower output to up to approximately 16 minutes at maximum output. Actual runtime varies according to conditions and how much Boost power is used.

Can the BGA 60 move wet leaves?

Power Boost provides useful additional output for heavier or damp leaf build-up. Very wet, compacted leaves may still need to be loosened first, and continuous maximum-power use will reduce battery working time.

Does the STIHL BGA 60 vacuum or shred leaves?

No. The BGA 60 is a blower only. For blowing, vacuuming and shredding, consider the STIHL SHA 56 cordless vacuum shredder.

Is the BGA 60 more powerful than the BGA 50?

The BGA 60 is intended for more demanding domestic clearing and includes Power Boost. The BGA 50 is better suited to lighter routine tidying where lower weight and simpler operation are the priority.

What warranty does the STIHL BGA 60 have?

STIHL provides a two-year warranty for domestic users, subject to its current warranty terms, correct product registration and use of the machine for its designed domestic purpose.
