WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The supplied sources document a 26 N rated blowing force, 24.4 N measured in independent testing, 2.7 kg weight without battery, and a 399 € bare-tool price in Germany. The official page also specifies constant power, three selectable power levels plus Boost, and an angled tube designed to reduce wrist torque. Battery and charger remain additional purchases.

MATERIALS

MotorEC motor

The retailer identifies an EC motor, but the supplied sources do not establish a specific durability advantage.

CRITERIA

9/10

Clearing Performance

Independent testing measured 24.4 N, second place in that test group; the official specification lists 26 N.

6/10

Runtime Delivery

Independent head-to-head runtime on high was 14 minutes 51 seconds. The supplied official source refers to a separate runtime table but does not provide a model-specific runtime figure.

9/10

Ergonomic Control

Independent testing found the tube angle noticeably better under load; STIHL states that the angled tube reduces wrist torque.

7/10

Durability Serviceability

The sources document an EC motor, IPX4 protection, and STIHL dealer support for original spare parts; long-term durability is not established.

8/10

Noise Emissions

Independent testing measured 83 dB(A) at 36 inches; the operating instructions list 84 dB(A) sound pressure.

9/10

Value At Use

The compact layout, battery placement below the handle, and angled tube support balance and control.

IDEAL FOR

·STIHL AP or ALLPRO battery owners
·Professional grounds maintenance
·Users prioritizing high blowing force with comparatively low measured noise
·Short, frequent debris-clearing tasks

NOT FOR

·Buyers needing a complete battery kit
·Occasional users without STIHL batteries
·Those seeking the lowest total system cost

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

The compact body, central component placement, battery position below the handle, and angled tube are intended to improve balance, control, and maneuverability. Independent testing reported that the tube angle made ergonomics under load noticeably better than a straight inline design.

LONGEVITY

The packet documents an EC motor, IPX4 protection, and STIHL dealer support for original spare parts and accessories. It does not establish a service life, owner-repair ease, or long-term durability outcome.
