Bosch 06008B1072 Electric Leaf Blower and Vacuum UniversalGardenTidy 2300 (2300 W, collection bag 45 l, variable speed, for blowing, vacuuming and shredding leaves, in carton packaging)

Product Information

If you are interested in a petrol blower, then you should know how much fuel it can carry. Depending upon the same, you can guess the area that you will be able to cover without refuelling. The capacity varies anywhere between 300 ml to 900 ml. Example, the AOSOME BV3405 has a 500 ml fuel tank. So, choose a mower depending upon the size of the park you have to cover. Control switch of the vacuum is the most convenient feature. You only have to slide the switch to select wither vacuum or blower mode. The Handy is pretty easy to assemble. Out of the box it looks like a pain, but it’s just a case of fitting the two tubes together with a screw and then the tubes onto the main body. The trigger automatically turns off when you let go which is good because it keeps things safe if you trip over the long 10-metre power lead. They’ve anticipated this by adding 3 x cable tidies to keep your working area clear – a very nice touch. On opening the box I was initially horrified – there are a lot of parts to fit together! Fortunately, the instructions are good and the parts are such high quality that assembly wasn’t actually a problem at all.

Swapping from suction to blow function is simple. There’s a capped screw to unwind, remove the tube, add the new piece and tighten the screw. No tools are required. Switching between blow and vacuum is simple. Push a lever to swap and adjust its power with a wheel. It’s user-friendly and obvious what does what so there’s no stress involved. How to avoid: Clean the filter after around 10 hours of use and then replace it when it becomes too dirty to clean. 4. Broken power cord

However, it took some time, overheated a little, and I found the motor to be louder than other models. It’s not so loud that you’d need ear defenders like council-issue blowers, but the neighbours won’t be impressed at 7am.

The vacuum has two tubes wherein you have to use different ones for vacuuming and blowing the leaves. It has a long power cable; means you can roam around freely in your garden. The engine of the BV3405 has a soft start. Moreover, the vacuum has an Anti-Vibration System that reduces the harm on your hands. Terratek vacuum cum shredder weights mere 3 kg, which makes its usage convenient and less tiring. On top of that, the product includes a shoulder strap that adds to the support as well as comfort. To make the garden maintenance process even easier, it also has a wheel that provides complete support while rolling.I had to bend over and position the vacuum vertically above each leaf for it to work which was a frustrating waste of time. Bosch does it again with the UniversalGardenTidy; a flexible gardening machine that works as a vacuum, blower and shredder. The instructions have poor directions, so I floundered for a while. Once I’d figured it out the tubes fitted with only a small amount of bashing and the three screws were good quality.
