About the STIHL SHE 71 Electric Blower/Vacuum Shredder

A versatile and adaptable blower vacuum.

Giving you the ability to tackle a wide range of garden cleaning tasks, the SHE 71 offers the quiet operation and light weight you would expect of an electric machine, along with excellent performance.

Manoeuvrable & comfortable to operate

As an electric machine, the SHE 71 is lightweight compared to petrol alternatives. It weighs just 4.1 kg excluding the power cable, allowing you to work for longer without getting tired, as well as simply making it more enjoyable to use. Another key advantage of electric machinery is the quiet operating noise, which again makes the machine a pleasure to work with and gives it even more versatility, making it suitable for a wider range of applications.

An adaptable & versatile machine

The chief advantage of the SHE 71 is its adaptability, being able to easily convert from a blower into a vacuum shredder. Simply attach the Vac-Kit and the integrated turbo wheel shreds dry leaves to one-twelfth of their original volume, while the 45 litre catcher bag serves as an effective dust filter. You can empty it with ease, using the bottom zip. While working in this mode, you can tackle debris in even the smallest cracks to leave a flawless finish to your garden.

Easy & simple to work with

Other advantages of working with electric machinery are the lack of petrol fumes, expensive maintenance costs and complicated start-up procedures. With the SHE 71, you don’t have to worry about any of that, and can simply work with the tool as and when you need it. An integrated cable strain relief system prevents the power cable from becoming accidentally disconnected while you work, making it perfect for use as an all-round home garden tool.

STIHL Warranty

The SHE 71 is covered for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase by the owner when used for the designed purpose of that product by domestic users. Terms and conditions apply. Garden Machinery Direct will register the warranty with STIHL for you.

50 reviews for STIHL SHE 71 Electric Blower/Vacuum Shredder

  1. Keith Weston

    Excellent gear. Much better than my previous equipment.

  2. Peter Walker

    I am unable to give a full review of this machine since I am now unable to get it to start. It spent the first few weeks with the supplier because I could not disengage the blower system from the main part of the machine. That was eventually achieved but when I put the blower tube back again the machine will not start. If anyone has any tips I’d be pleased to have them.

    • Garden Machinery Direct

      There are safety switches on both blow and suction nozzles, and if the tubes are not fully inserted and locked in then it wont work.

  3. Michael

    The product works really well. The only problem I have had is with changing from blow to vacuum, which takes a bit of getting used to. Very happy with the purchase and use regularly.

  4. River traveller

    Easy to use although the changing of units is slightly problematic if units are not exactly located to join together.

  5. Hans Frolich

    Powerful, well made machine that is light enough to be used by all the family.

  6. RICHARD

    So far so good. For the price I am pleased. Time will tell.

  7. Haydn Tanner

    Does the job but bag wearing straps could be better designed.

  8. juliang277

    As you would expect of a Stihl product, it does everything it is equipped to do superbly.

  9. Gramps.

    Great service great product.

  10. Peter Taylor

    Price, service and quality all very good. Delivery quicker than promised

  11. Derek Morris

    ………………

  12. Mrs Rosemary Timmins

    Not the easiest item to assemble when you want to use as a vacuum.

    When it is put together very easy to use once you get a feel for the bag straps, good suction and easy to clean.

  13. JP

    Brilliant at vacuuming up all the leaves in the garden but can’t seem to get the vacuum attachment off again to turn it into in a blower, even using the instructions! Putting the attachments on is not easy!

  14. Frederick Stone

    Blows and sucks OK but changing modes is a right b****r! And the instructions very little help. Hopefully I’ll get the hang of it with practice, but I’ve wasted a lot time struggling.

  15. Roger Home

    Excellent at collecting ad shredding leaves. Fiddly to reconfigure to a blower. I have a separate Stihl blower.. This my second vacuum.The First replaced after11years and only then because the fan was worn and it was cost effective to replace rather than repair.

  16. Angela

    The leaf blower function is excellent however the switch from blower to the shredder is extremely difficult and fiddly.
    Nice and lightweight.

  17. Max Mills

    Does the jobs perfectly for what i needed it for.

  18. Di

    Excellent product

  19. Peter Roycroft

    A refreshingly lightweight machine, when compared to petrol machines.
    This certainly has a lot of puff when it comes to blowing and a lot of suck when it comes to vacuuming and shredding.
    Getting the various nozzles, pipes, etc on and off requires ideally three hands or some practice as they require you to release a clip whilst turning at the same time.
    The only small downside is that the impeller which is what shreds material is plastic and so is suseptable to damage from solid material like stones. But knowing that means you know what to avoid. Fortunately, Steffan at the excellent Customer Support Team at Garden Machinery Direct came to my aid and sorted an issue I had with the impeller.
    Apart from that a really well-enginnered machine that works a treat.

  20. Terry

    Replaced an old Black & Decker unit that gave up the ghost after many years service. This is lighter and more powerful both in terms of blowing and vacuuming. Changing function is somewhat fiddly but once done a couple of times is easy to get to grips with and just a shame that you need a small screwdriver or the like to depress a plastic lug.

  21. E Gordon

    It is well worth the money spent, I must admit that seeing the plastic fan, I thought it might not be as good as I thought, however my thoughts were unfounded all the leaves that I picked up had been chopped up ready to put into the composter, just what I wanted.
    It is well worth sitting and reading the instruction book before using to get the best out of the the machine (something I confess I don’t always do)

  22. Mr Shortman

    Lightweight and easy to use. Fast and efficient delivery.

  23. Marc Robertson

    Honestly, I havn’t used the blower yet but it looks great, was easy enough to assemble and feels nice and sturdy.
    Was very pleased with GMD’s service !!

  24. Jason Shaw

    Brilliant

  25. Colin Yelland

    The blower works better than the vac in my view. The collector bag is not easy to keep on your shoulder as suggested in the instructions. It tends to slip off and then it drags on the ground. It does, however, pick up very well!

  26. Mrs Cork

    Difficult and unwieldy for a smaller person to use. Awkward mechanism for swapping functions, should be easier. Blows very powerfully , but doesn’t vacuum with equal power. Seems sturdy though and will probably last for ages.

  27. GeoffB

    Briefly tried it out, seems well constructed and solid, plenty of power, and plenty of mains cable for a small garden. Could do with a button rather than a hole to poke the security latch when removing/replacing the tubes, so only 4 stars otherwise it would have been 5 stars

  28. Lynn Robinson

    Brilliant- lightweight and easy to use/charge. Perfect for our small hedging and trees. Will certainly but one for our daughter – she will live it!

  29. Bernadette Boyle

    Very helpful piece of equipment

  30. stevep

    Quiet, for what it is, powerful too, my first leaf blower and it is really good fun!

  31. Mrs Pauline Mooney

    Excellent, light and well balanced. The blower is surprisingly powerful.

  32. Frank Sheard

    Excellent vac and blower is powerful. Two speed blower would be a good improvement

  33. David McCourtie

    Very pleased with the blower and vacuum. I was pleased that I purchased the electric blower due to the lighter weight. I have been told the the STIHL is the best available which I endorse.

  34. Stefan Vogt

    Strong airflow, no fuzz, glad I went for electric/mains Version. Reconfiguring this to vacuum cleaner is cumbersome, though.

  35. Hugh

    The pipe to bag is to large

  36. Amy Wright

    Boyfriend loves it

  37. joy

    A bit cumbersome however does what it says

  38. Brian Scott

    Good value, works well. A grit guard woul be a useful addition.

  39. MELVYN WEEKS

    great piece of kit. down side having to have collection bag on shoulder, line everything when assembling or machine will not operate due to micro switches.

  40. Angela Kilbey

    I’ve just used the blower for the first time, and wow I really enjoyed using it. We have a fairly large garden and this is the first blower that has coped with the amount of leaves. I’ve not used the shredder bit yet but I’m confident it will be fantastic

  41. Peter

    Very good. Well balanced and easy to use.

  42. gary sewell

    Great product , you get what you pay for

  43. Richard Ward

    Works well and very efficient

  44. Michael Yates

    Powerful tool but not too heavy, needs care changing from vaccum to blow mode. Very effective though!

  45. Chris Bean

    An excellent piece of kit which I fully expect to receive may years of good service from.

  46. John Rose

    It is a big, solid piece of machinery. It was quite fiddly to put the different parts together but the instructions were clear enough and once assembled it worked really well.

  47. Mr & Mrs Crowley

    This blower was very effective, but recommend ear protectors if using for more than a few minutes.One has to change the blower pipe for a suction pipe but once done unit operates OK. The collection bag is a bit clumsy to hold on shoulder. I only use the suction for leaves on flower beds. For large quantities, use the blower and lift leaves by hand.

  48. Justin Hilton

    Excellent product does exactly what we wanted

  49. Hazel Emery

    Easy to work and handle and does a better than expected job

  50. A. Natt

    Great product with plenty of power even on wet leaves would highly recommend
