Extend your warranty by an extra year
Purchase a 5 litre bottle of STIHL MotoMix at the same time as buying this machine, and you'll get an extra year on your domestic use warranty - extending your warranty from two years to three. This is subject to STIHL's warranty terms, and machines used in a commercial application don't benefit from the warranty extension.
Simply add 5 litres of MotoMix to your cart alongside your machine before placing your order and we'll register your extended warranty with STIHL.

Metal Shredding Blade
When in vacuum mode, a metal shredding blade sits on the impeller and breaks down collected leaves and debris to more efficiently fill the vacuum bag.

Extend your Professional Use Warranty with a STIHL Smart Connector
Extend your commercial warranty from 1 to 2 years when you order a STIHL Smart Connector fleet management system with this machine.
