What to consider when selecting a garden blower/vacuum? When I was first self-employed, I used to work with my late Dad, and I remember working with him one day and seeing another gardening company who were using blow/vac machines. I remember saying to my dad at this point "We ought to use those machines, they look amazing", but my dad replied "No , son, you’re better off just sticking with brooms and rakes, they’re simple and cheap to use!" I took a lot of advice from my dad, but I think he would have forgiven me for ignoring this bit of advice because purchasing blow/vac machines changed my business forever! No more arduous hours of raking leaves and trying to tease them out from under shrubs, awkward corners and gullies, no more sore elbows, and aching shoulders, no more sweeping and sweeping and sweeping! Today there’s a brilliant choice of machines from cordless, to corded to petrol-powered all with fabulous functions for different tasks and sizes of garden and all of them provide quick, thorough, and easy results from enjoyable and simple machine use.

long periods, 114mph blow speed will quickly clear leaves and all sorts of garden debris and with a mulching ratio of 12/1 then 12 black bags of leaves become one saving space in the garden bin or boot of the car. BEST Cordless Blower/ Vacuum With the incredible advances
in battery technology, the cordless machines are the most recent on the market and the Greenworks GWGD24X2BVK4X Cordless 48V (2 x 24V) Blower & Vacuum is staggeringly impressive with a blowing speed of up to 200mph, even the wettest
