Prefer flat nozzle, reduces area available for air to flow through, inceasing its speed.
I find it more effective.
My machine came with a round head one, or an angled flat head one. I like a straight tube so I took a hair dryer to the round nozzle head and flattened it :)
I think the flat head nozzle will push out a slightly higher speed of air but the round nozzle will push out a bigger but slightly slower volume of air. Personally I prefer the round nozzle but horses for courses and all that.
I prefer the flat one more area covered and much faster out put.
ok folks ... thanks for feedback ... seems its just personal preference then
I use flat on my BG86. It seems to give more blow :)
We always had the flat on our BG86 but when we switched to the Stihl battery blower it only came with a round nozzle. Can't say I've really noticed the difference if I'm honest.
What I will say is our battery blower is in for warranty repair and we have a loan BG86 and I really, really haven't missed all that pull, pull, pull malarky to get the thing going!
Would you say the battery one performs as well as the BG86 then? I was thinking of getting one to use in an OAP home I do so I don't scare the old girls as much.
I’d say the ego battery one we have is pretty much the same as our old BG86 in fact I was so confident I sold it and only use the ego now. I just had to change my mindset a bit as the battery only lasts for 20 minutes so use those minutes well!
I would say the battery one performs as well for everyday blowing. The batteries only last 30 mins max but that is continuos blowing. In an average day of 8 general maintenace jobs we would probably get through 2, possibly 3 batteries but we carry our charger with us and most people are fine about you popping a battery on charge while you are on site. I always ask the first time obviously.
