STIHL BR 200 Gas Backpack Leaf Blower

The STIHL BR 200 is a lighter-duty gas backpack blower aimed at homeowners who want backpack-style comfort for clearing leaves, hedge trimmings, and grass cuttings from larger yards without the weight or cost of STIHL's professional-grade backpack models.

Backpack comfort at a lower weight

At 12.6 lbs dry, the BR 200 is noticeably lighter than STIHL's professional backpack blowers, making it easier to wear for occasional use around a typical residential property.

Steady airflow for everyday cleanup

A max air velocity of about 150 mph and up to 800 m³/h of air volume is enough to move leaves and cuttings across a larger lawn without needing a bigger commercial-grade engine.

Simple, safe operation

Single-hand multi-function controls and a locking throttle let the operator hold a steady airflow setting for long stretches without keeping constant pressure on the trigger.

Key features

• 27.2 cc 2-stroke engine in a lightweight backpack format
• Anti-vibration system for reduced hand and arm fatigue
• Locking throttle for sustained, hands-easy operation
• Breathable back padding and soft shoulder straps
• Compatible with an optional STIHL ADVANCE chest strap

Frequently asked questions

Is the BR 200 a professional or homeowner-grade blower?

STIHL positions it as an occasional-use backpack blower, making it a good fit for homeowners with larger yards rather than daily commercial use.

Does it come with a chest strap?

No, the standard package includes shoulder straps and back padding; a STIHL ADVANCE chest strap is available separately for extra support.

How does its weight compare to handheld blowers?

At 12.6 lbs, it's heavier than a typical handheld blower, but the backpack harness shifts that weight onto the back and shoulders rather than the arm.

What is in the box

The BR 200 includes the backpack blower unit with its carrying harness, breathable back padding, and soft shoulder straps; the chest strap accessory is sold separately.
