Now, the scenario is changed, and there are many garden vacuums available from different price ranges and features.

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. In the case of a leaf blower, it tells us the speed of air when it comes out from the tube. If the airspeed remains the same, how far it can travel in one hour? Example, if we say that a leaf blower has an airspeed of 210 km/h (WORX WG505E Trivac), we mean that the air would travel 210 kilometres in one hour if the speed remains unchanged. Vibration-free vacuuming or blowing experience is equally vital if you want a comfortable gardening experience. The Trivac vacuum has a mulching ratio of 16:1. So, you can use the vacuum and mulch function for long without emptying its grass collection bag. You can easily change the working stages between blower and vacuum by flipping a switch. None of the garden vacuums is better than QGBV2500. You will never feel unhappy with its price, features or performance.

Petrol leaf blowers produce impressive power and airflow, which is better when compared to corded or cordless variants. Ability to clear large a Two other numbers are quoted for power output: volume flow rate (measured in cubic metres/hour) and airflow speed (measured in kilometres/hour or kph). Volume flow rate measures the volume of air that exits the tube. The higher the figure, the more air moves through the machine, which means more leaves moved. But the volume of air is meaningless if it isn’t moving fast enough, which is why airflow speed is also important. There’s always the 10-metre cable to trip over, but this is true of all the garden vacuums I’m testing. Terratek has included two cable tidy hooks on the handle and the body to help prevent a tumble. Bosch does it again with the UniversalGardenTidy; a flexible gardening machine that works as a vacuum, blower and shredder.

The price point is half that of the Bosch and to be honest, I like not having to change the blow and vacuum heads over. Safety power off the system in this petrol-powered vacuum shuts down the machine to prevent chances of an injury while changing modes. Talking about the numbers, the maximum vibration you can feel on the handle is 2.194m/s². Vacuum airspeed is 47.5 m/s, and the airflow rate is 14.5 m³/min.Remember that a battery may need frequent recharging if you use the machine a lot, or you could buy a second battery to swap with while recharging. The Ah (ampere/hour) rating shows how much energy it stores – the larger the number, the longer it runs. Clean or replace you air filter. Air must be able to move in and out of the engine for the blower to start – this is normally done through an air filter. If the air filter becomes clogged with dust and dirt it will stop the air flowing, therefore preventing the blower from turning on.

This garden hoover has a slim blowing tube that can be dissected into two parts for secure storage. Same is the vacuum tube, which is comparatively large and full. The vacuum works at an exceptionally minimal noise level of 96 dB. Its ProSilemce technology reduces the sound level up to seventy per cent. Modern leaf blowers use a battery to generate the airpower. Cordless leaf blowers are also lightweight, quiet, powerful and easy to start. Batteries can be recharged anywhere between 45 minutes to 4 hours, depending upon the brand and model. Single battery runtime goes up to 2 hours. However, if you choose a cordless option with a removable battery, you can enjoy virtually unlimited runtime by purchasing a spare cell. Example: VonHaus Cordless Leaf Blower. Bosch garden maintenance tool has a mulching ratio of 12:1. It comes with an inbuilt fan that ensures efficient performance without any interruption. The multipurpose device comes with a collection bag worth 45 litres. This collection bag is long-lasting because of its moisture repellent and dirt deflecting built.The suction tube is enormous. It’s a good double the size of other models I’m testing, but it is lightweight and of good quality. This was the only garden vacuum I didn’t have to slam on the floor to fit the tubes inside one another. It wasn’t until after I’d used it that I found out it’s marketed with a ‘Pro Silence’ feature. I can say this does work and it’s nothing like roaring council-issued leaf blowers.
