The Stihl BG55 Blower is the best hand held blower in existence

I am a proud owner of a Stihl BG55 hand held blower I bought last winter. I have owned several blowers before, both hand held and back pack type. The BG55 is absolutely the best blower I have ever had. This machine has electronic ignition which makes it easier to start and less expensive to maintain. It has an elastomeric handle that fits comfortably in your hand when starting. It has a large fuel tank for long run time but it does not add enough weight to make it uncomfortable to operate/carry when it is full. The unit has isolation mounts to minimize vibration and a very comfortable carry handle. Starting is easy thanks to the pump bulb on the carburetor to prime the fuel system and the functional choke system. The throttle lock works great to put your blower on "cruise control" so you do not have to hold the trigger. The on/off switch is convenient and easy to see and use. It is covered with a weather proof boot to protect it from foreign matter. This machine makes clean up a breeze after mawing or during leaf season. I can blow the Maple leaves off my 1/2 acre lawn in 1 fuel tank and be inside with an iced tea before you know it. If you are in the market for a blower, this is the unit. I think the current model may be the BG56, but I am sure it is as good or better.
