Here at Just Lawnmowers we have noticed an increase in sales of garden leaf blowers and vacuums. This has come a few weeks early as we don’t tend to notice a surge in sales until the middle of September when people realise that autumn is just around the corner. Due to this increase in leaf blower activity I have decided to write a quick post giving details on 3 blowers & vacs that wont cost you a fortune but will make keeping your garden neat and tidy much easier. I am also limiting my budget to around £100.00.
For keeping the garden tidy all year round a garden blower or vacuum is an essential piece of equipment. Not only can it be used to pick up leaves and other debris around the garden, it can also be used to blow grass clippings and leaves off paths and patios.
The first leaf blower to look at is the Flymo Garden Vac 2700. Since inventing the hover mower more than 40 years ago Flymo have become market leaders in the design and innovation of unique gardening products that make gardening easy. The core values at the heart of everything they do at Flymo are ‘quick and easy’. Quick at completing garden tasks. Easy in being intuitive to use. Now back to this machine! As the name implies the motor on this machine will provide 2700 watts of jet vac power, creating 212km/h of airflow speed! It is an extremely versatile machine as it blows, vacs, shreds, and jet vacs. In tests, the jet vacuum collection of wet leaves did not clog the machine. The cable length is 12 metres meaning that you can use it a reasonable distance from a plug socket. This machine is very versatile and can pick up almost all kinds of garden debris – not just leaves. It makes tidying the garden easy and fun and enables you to tackle the toughest leaf clearance jobs around the garden. It is our lowest priced garden blower vac at only £65.99.
If you prefer a go-anywhere leaf blower then the new Bosch ALB 18 LI cordless leaf blower is the way to go. This cordless tool guarantees maximum freedom of movement so can even be used in remote areas of a property. It is powered by an 18 volt lithium-ion battery which is always ready to use since lithium-ion batteries have no self-discharge. this powerful battery will produce an airflow of up to 210km/h which is enough to clear leaves and debris quickly and efficiently. The batteries also have a no memory effect, so can be recharged at any time without the user having to accept a deterioration in battery performance. The Bosch ALB 18 LI leaf blower is a member of the “Power4All” cordless family. This means flexibility for the user: the 18 volt lithium-ion battery can be used in nine different garden and DIY tools from Bosch within this voltage class. If you want cordless freedom then we recommend having a look at the ALB 18 LI. You can pick one of these up at Just Lawnmowers for only £84.99 delivered free to your door (mainland UK postcodes).
Finally I would like to talk about a petrol option. The Partner MC Tornado GBV 325 leaf blower vacuum (shredder) is an efficient handy one-hand blower, ideal for work such as clearing grass cuttings, leaves and litter. It is an efficient handy machine and is ideal for work such as clearing grass cuttings, leaves and litter. With its powerful 25cc two-stroke engine developing an airflow of 89.4 metres per second, large amounts of leaves, hedge-clippings, pine cones and even litter can piled-up in no time. The airflow can be adjusted to suit both the type of debris you’re trying to shift and the surface you’re working on. Other features include cruise control, enabling you to set your own pace, a flare-nozzle for faster blowing and Soft Start – Easy starting with soft-start & automatic choke system. Alongside these great features this blower also has the capability to mulch the leaves it hoovers up and then store them in its 45 litre collection bag. All this for only £119.00.
