5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent

Surprisingly good! At this price I was not expecting too much but it’s actually more than ok. Very light to handle (which is good) easy to assemble and use and above all powerful. Waste bag is also easy to fit, remove and empty. So far can’t fault this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight and efficient

This is the third different garden vacuum and blower that we’ve bought. This was the least expensive and best we’ve had. The last one we had was a big name, double the price but not as good as this one.The positives. It is lightweight. This is so important as it can be hard work to swing back a forwards a heavy vacuum for any length of time. This weight is especially good for older people or anyone with a bad back!It is easy to put together, plug in and start. No complicated instructions.It picks up leaves and garden rubbish well and the collection bag (whilst smaller than some other models) does hold enough for a good 20 minute clean.It blows as well as collects. This is very useful to blow rubbish from awkward places and then hoover up. For example we blow the wood chippings out from under our log burner before collecting them.It has a shoulder strap which not only helps take the weight but also to swing the vacuum as you hoover.The negatives. It is noisier than other models. To start with we were concerned there was something wrong but we’ve had this now for over a year and the noise hasn’t changed - it is just noisier than expected but not so much that you have to wear ear defenders.The other slight negative is that it does pick up a few stones. We have a gravel section in the garden and we have to be careful it doesn’t collect all the stones as well as the leaves.All in all a very good buy for the price and it’s negatives are far outweighed by how light it is to use. Would definitely recommend.

Really pleased with how well this worked - I have only used the vacuum function, but the blower works. The instructions for screw placement could be clearer when putting the main unit together, but we managed. Light weight and easy to use, so giving 5 stars despite this. Great value for money and easy to empty the bag, post vacuum.

5.0 out of 5 stars great I love using it!

I love my new toy - I have had several occasions to use it as we live near lots of trees. Its light enough for me to handle, it has a powerful blow and suction seems good too, bag was easy to empty. It certainly beats brushing the patio and good price.

Bought this as I previously had a cordless Ryobi and that was pretty dire.So the good and the not so good.GOOD:Lightweight, easy to assemble (although the fixing screws take a bit of strength to get them flush in), powerful enough for the job. Corded works for me as I don’t have to keep charging the battery, and the cord is a decent length at 10 metres.NOT SO GOOD:impossible to deconstruct once assembled. The pipes that connect to each other seem to have a spur that once connected refuse to unlock. This makes unclogging the unit very difficult.Clogs very easily. Now admittedly I had a big pile of leaves to clear but the machine did suck up a fair amount of loose soil which compacted and meant that the switch to turn it from blow to suck wouldn’t fully engage. I had to use a long screwdriver and break up the soil that had wedged in the waste delivery chute. As a result the machine stopped blowing properly after a very short time as the flap wasn’t fully closed because of waste build up.Bag needs emptying frequently. I suppose this isn’t really a deal breaker as the bag was 35l so I knew it wouldn’t hold much. But I was emptying it every 2 or 3 minutes.No cord storage. A 10m cord is a decent length but it really should have a moulding like an upright hoover where you can wind the cord around two notches to keep it tidy. I expect that next time I use it it will inevitably have some cord tangle.Overall I’m impressed with it for the price, and compared to the Ryobi cordless it is leaps and bounds better. I haven’t any experience with the expensive models of leaf blower/mulcher but this one does the job. Don’t expect too much of it though and don’t make it work too hard as it will clog and it’s a pain to unclog it, mainly because the long plastic funnel is impossible to deconstruct so you have to get a long stick down the end and poke about, hoping that you are actually clearing any debris that you can’t see. It did a good job of clearing most of the leaves before rain stopped play. And the leaves shred down well, along with any small twigs that you will inevitably end up sucking up as well. But I felt I spent too much time in maintenance/unclogging to make it gain any more stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job I wanted it for.

This particular machine works well enough for its functionality description - that is, it collects and shreds small tree branches and seeds for other trees. Haven't tried the blower out as not currently needed.It is quite easy to handle and move around, being reasonably lightweight.Putting together was fairly easy, although the drawing descriptions could have been better explained.All in all, quite happy with purchase - it does the job I wanted it for, which, I suppose, is the point.
