About this product

The STIHL SH 86 C-E is a 27.2cc gas-powered 2-in-1 blower and vacuum shredder designed for homeowners and light commercial crews who need to both blow debris into piles and vacuum-shred it into a bag for easy disposal.

Two tools in one

A quick tool-free conversion switches the SH 86 between blower mode, for clearing driveways and lawns, and vacuum/shredder mode, for collecting leaves and reducing their volume before bagging.

Steel shredding impeller

A steel star-shaped shredding wheel chops leaves and light yard debris at up to a 14:1 reduction ratio, so the included 45-liter collection bag holds far more material per fill-up than a simple vacuum.

Compact 27.2cc engine

The 27.2cc engine produces up to 170 mph air velocity and 444 CFM of air volume in blower mode, enough for driveways, patios, and garden beds without the bulk of a backpack unit.

Frequently asked questions

Can the SH 86 C-E switch between blowing and vacuuming without tools?

Yes, the housing converts between blower and vacuum/shredder configurations without needing separate tools.

What does the shredding ratio mean in practice?

At up to a 14:1 reduction ratio, a bag's worth of loose leaves is chopped down small enough that the 45-liter collection bag needs emptying far less often.

Is this unit gas or battery powered?

It runs on a 27.2cc two-stroke gasoline engine, not a battery, so it needs fuel mixed to STIHL's specification before use.

What is in the box

The SH 86 C-E ships with the blower/vacuum unit, a round nozzle, a flat nozzle, and a 45-liter collection bag. Fuel is not included and must be mixed separately.
