The Stiga SAB 500 AE cordless leaf blower is a reliable and efficient tool designed to assist users in maintaining a tidy garden. Powered by a battery, this leaf blower offers a convenient and eco-friendly solution for removing grass cuttings, leaves, or even new snow.

The user-friendly design of the Stiga SAB 500 AE ensures a hassle-free experience. Equipped with a comfortable and ergonomic handle, users can comfortably hold and maneuver the leaf blower without straining their hands or wrists.

Direct quotes from owners:

The device does its job perfectly.:) We are very satisfied!!


The biggest advantage from my point of view, however, is wireless operation - charge the battery, insert it and off into the garden or on the sidewalk. No more extension cables, no more searching for a free outlet and great performance. Very clear purchase recommendation on my part and very deserved 5 stars!


A practical tool for autumn and winter
