Stihl Petrol BG56C Garden Leaf Blower

Bought this leaf blower for household use, we do not have a big section but have plenty of leaves to get rid of.

We previously had purchased cheaper models, Homelite and a Ryobi brand, both these models survived about two years before they stopped, and were not worth fixing, according to the service agents. We then decided that we would try a more expensive brand in the hope it would last longer.

We paid over twice as much for the Stihl but I must say that it has performed faultlessly over the last 4 years. It starts every time and performs as good now as it did when we first bought it. The service agents say that if anything does go wrong they will fix it, not scrap it.

The model we bought is light as it was to be used by my wife who did not want a heavier more powerful model, it works well and has a stronger blow than the models we previuosly owned.
