Default Can anyone recommend an electrical garden leaf blower, mulcher vac ? PSLEWIS ?

This is one for scoobynets resident in house, retail advisor and bargain hunter Sir PSLEWIS.

Does anyone have a garden leaf blower, mulcher vac they can recommend ?

I`m after one for upto £60 ish, one that has both a blower, vac and mulcher. Winter is on its way and we have loads of trees at the end of our garden that throw leaves onto the lawn and it gets a right mess.

We have a Black & Decker something like this. Has been totally reliable for 6 years.

It does draw a lot of power and we can't use it on our outside socket because that is only fused for 2kW.

Also think about the bag volume. A large bag sounds good because you have to empty it less often, but when it is full of wet leaves it is really heavy. Unless you are built like Arnie it is a really good work out.

Sometimes it is easier to rake the leaves and then just use the blower to mulch them. If Mark Mac knows of a rake that also mulches then that might be a good bet Leaf vac is good for sucking leaves off the flower beds.

I have a Ryobi RBV-2400VP which works well costs about £65.

Switches between suck & blow with a switch.

don't bother - we have one and it's not much use - a rake is best (a wire tined one)
