I have been using a Stihl BG85 blower Vacuum for many years. But due to an ongoing issue with mixed 50:1 fuel going stile before I can use it. I am now thinking of trying a MAKITA DUB363Z battery operated blower / vacuum with 2x 6A/H batteries. Supposed to be very powerful and efficient? Can anyone advise if they have tried the battery operated Makita product and advise if as powerful as the Stihl BG85?

I've been using someones BG 85 Z commercially for 12 years. Have used the later model commercial Stihl blowers as well and they don't put out the same grunt as the 85. Do you know where I can source an 85 in good nick and why doesn't Stihl make an equally powerful handheld blower these days?
