BG-KM Blower is rated out of 5 by 53.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paula from Favorite yard tool EVER!! I cannot say enough good things about this blower! Best blower we have ever purchased. I agree with reviewer who called it a tornado on a stick. It makes super short work of cleaning off sidewalks and driveways. Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike63 from Great attachment blower New to having a Stihl product, I am very pleased with the BG-KM blower attachment. Living in the "corded" world for many, many years, this system has been a blessing and has got me sold on the STIHL product line.

Rated 1 out of 5 by InIllinois from Not long lasting. I have owned Stihl products for many years and never have been disappointed with their products. This is the only exception. I have only had the blower attachment for two years and used it during mowing season, once to twice a week. Today i went to use it and it worked for a few minutes and then quit working. Upon investigating the reason why it was not working, I found the drive shaft was rounded off and would no longer turn the blower attachment. Definitely not what I thought would happen as I thought the blower would last many years. Guess I will try to find if the shaft is available so I can replace it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Callaway from Faulty Design of Blower Shaft I purchased a Kombi 130R motor, blower, string trimmer, and tiller attachment this Spring (2017). After two-three minutes of operation the blower stopped working. I returned it to the dealer and got a replacement. The second blower, worked for about two-three minutes and stopped working again. Returned to dealer and got a third blower unit. You guessed it, the same thing occurred. In each case, the blower shaft broke. There is definitely a problem with the shaft in these units when used with a 130R unit, perhaps too much power for the blower shaft. Stihl says they are working on new hardened steel shaft for blower, but until then I would not recommend. The string trimmer works fine, but I haven't used the tiller yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JED33813 from Works Great. Excellent Tool I've had this blower for over a year and it really works very well. I was skeptical at first since I had never seen anyone use one, but it really works. I use it with the Stihl KM-131R. It has plenty of force and I have never been disappointed. I'm not a lawn service but I mow 2-5 yard a week and the blower works great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CTSV200 from Good power...when it works My BG-KM works great if it isn't tilted upward before it's started. Otherwise, it seems to get disconnected and the blower doesn't work without vigorous shaking when pointed downwards. Have tolerated this condition, even after having the dealer "repair" it. I've been using this with a Stihl KM130 for about five years.

Rated 1 out of 5 by spinningwood from Broken Shaft Drive shaft sheared off inside the blower after a couple hours of use. Reading reviews, this appears to be a common problem with this unit. I don't know if it is defective material or bad design. Replacement drive shafts aren't stocked locally (who would expect the shaft to shear off?). Unit is out of service for 1 to 2 weeks.Local dealer is great and offered me a loaner while waiting for parts. I'm hoping Stihl just got a batch of defective drive shafts and that it isn't a design defect. That would mean there's a chance that this repair will be the end of this problem for me. If it is a design issue then it probably won't be the last time I have the problem.I was using this with a 130 motor. The unit had adequate blowing power. It is nice and light and balances well on the system.At this point I could not recommend the purchase of this blower. I expect to get a lot more than a couple hours use from any piece of Stihl equipment. This did not meet my expectations.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DavidCC from Shaft Keeps breaking For the most part I have always loved stihl equipment . But when I bought the BG-KM Blower after about two weeks the shaft broke returned it to the hardware store where I bought it they replaced the shaft. About a week and a half later it broke again still refused to replace it and I had to wait almost 3 weeks to get it fixed because of back log of parts. After replacing bearings and the shaft again it broke in one week this time I dropped it off at the hardware store and decided to buy a much larger backpack blower. Don't know if that was the Lemon or it's just bad design. Very unhappy with steel not moving up to the plate to replace it.David
