About the STIHL BGE 71 Electric Handheld Leaf Blower
Clear fallen leaves and debris the easy way with the STIHL BGE 71. Lightweight, powerful and simple to use, it’s an excellent handheld leaf blower for small to medium-sized gardens.
(Please note that despite the accompanying image, this STIHL BGE 71 Leaf Blower is supplied with a 3-pin UK plug.)
Overview of the STIHL BGE 71 Electric Handheld Leaf Blower
Weighing just 3 kg, the 230 – 240 v STIHL BGE 71 Electric Leaf Blower is fitted with an efficient 1,100 w motor and supplied with a flat nozzle. It has an impressive maximum blowing force of 9 N, which is enough to shift stubborn leaves. (The maximum air velocity with the flat nozzle is 70 m/s.)
This handheld leaf blower is a very effective tool, suitable for use on footpaths, lawns, flowerbeds, and other areas of a garden. And with a sound power level of 100 dB(A) and sound pressure level at the operator’s ear of 85 dB(A), it is quiet when operating too. This makes the STIHL 71 Blower ideal for use in residential (and other noise sensitive) areas.
The STIHL BGE’s Multi-Function Handle
The STIHL Blower BGE 71 is designed with a multi-function control handle, which allows you to operate the tool’s functions using just one hand, without needing to stop your work.
Stable Plug Connection with Cable Strain Relief
The BGE 71 Electric Blower’s integrated cable strain relief feature ensures that any extension cable is securely attached to the tool and prevents it becoming disconnected from the power supply.
Get Connected!
The STIHL BGE 71 Electric Blower is compatible with STIHL’s Smart Connector. Once attached, this allows you to link the tool via Bluetooth to the STIHL Connected app, so you can monitor running times and stay abreast of servicing requirements.
Transform the BGE 71 Into a Vacuum Shredder!
Once combined with STIHL’s highly practical Vacuum Attachment Kit, this electric leaf blower is transformed into a vacuum shredder unit (with catcher bag), capable of quickly and efficiently reducing large volumes of waste.
BGE 71 Blower Optional Extras
You can purchase a number of official STIHL optional extras to use with the company’s BGE 71 Electric Leaf Blower. Along with the aforementioned Smart Connector and Vacuum Attachment Kit, these include a curved flat nozzle and gutter cleaning set.

Excellent, very pleased, delivered promptly too
Sandy Hayward –
Lightweight & easy to operate, deals with garden debris efficiently.
John P Mills –
A lightweight garden blower with plenty of power. The electrical cord is a good length but a short extension lead means I can do the whole garden easily. I blows away the leaves with ease and clears the grass of small stones and small gits of grit without any difficulty. Easy to handle and great for the person who is willing to do their own bit of gardening. It is also great for blowing away the surface water after heavy rain if I cant wait for the patio to dry on its own.
Sheila Cartwright –

A great little machine. The only downside is that it’s corded. That’s fine for me, I don’t mind that at all for where I’m using it. It’s fairly lightweight and has lots of puff! I haven’t bought the collector bag accessory, I think that would fill very rapidly. At around half the price or less of an equivalent cordless Stihl machine, it gets a solid 5 stars from me.
