First STIHL Electric Start Professional Backpack Blower

First STIHL Electric Start Professional Backpack Blower

The NEW BR 450 C-EF is STIHL's first professional blower with electric start. With just a press of a button, the BR 450 C-EF is ready to go. When silence is preferable and walking while idling is avoidable, simply turn the engine off for less noise and additional fuel savings. In extremely cold temperatures when the electric start is insufficient to get the engine started, the unit is equipped with the STIHL Easy2Start™ which ensures a stress-free comfortable start by reducing the number of pulls required to start the engine. The BR 450 C-EF also features an innovative adjustable length blower tube and handle, allowing for custom adjustment for every operator.

World's Only Professional Backpack Blower with Electric Start

  • Adjust the blower tube to any length
  • Handle position can be quickly adjusted without the need of tools
  • Wide shoulder straps and large back padding provide greater comfort
  • Anti-vibration system reduces vibrations to the lower back
  • Longer air filter life due to the larger capacity
