Not content with de-greening our gardens and streets over the autumn, the trees make a huge mess with all those dropped leaves. Whether you're a conscientious neighbour sweeping your local gutters, or perhaps next-door's tree habitually sheds all its leaves over your fence, tackling the job with a broom and a bin liner can be long, back-breaking work.
That's where the comes in. This £44.99 garden tool, available on Amazon, makes incredibly light work of hoovering up outdoor detritus with its 3000W motor, 35L-capacity bag, and 10m-long cable extending easily around the average-sized garden. It's got a useful strap as well, making it easy to carry and control while you wipe those leaves off the face of your lawn.
, with a blower option complemented by a vacuum and mulching function. The mulching element is particularly useful for green-fingered folk, enabling you to empty the bag straight into your compost bin. At the intake-end, the vacuum also has a useful pair of wheels to make it easy to push it along the ground.
The VonHaus Leaf Blower and Vacuum comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty. It should be noted that, for wet leaves, it's recommended to only use the blower function, with dry leaves giving the best results for the vacuum and mulching functions.
Already a bestseller, this leaf blower has an average with many users praising its lightweight build and comprehensive functions. One five star review said: "Easy to put together and using the shoulder strap makes for easy manoeuvre. The wheels are a good size and work well on astro turf and grass. Impressed from start to finish."
This top-marks review was particularly impressed with the mulching function and bag capacity: "Wow - what a machine!! Far exceeded expectations. Lightweight and easy to use but packs a powerful punch. Super strong suction. Mulches almost to a fine dust so bag takes ages to fill up. I did a large garden with a LOT of leaves and the bag was only half full."
Another added: "I'm very pleased with the results. Have a large area full of leaves and this machine dealt with it well. The suction and blowing features are quite strong."
Some have mixed feelings about it, however. "It's noisier than expected and doesn't seem to have the same suction as our previous Flymo machine," said one, then adding: "However, it's a heck of a lot lighter!". Another highlighted its noisiness whilst commending its suction power: "The noisiest person on the street when I power this up, the back garden sounds like an airport. But it does suck up the leaves and grind them up well!"
For leaf-blowing jobs requiring some serious welly, this at the time of writing. Elsewhere, this offers fantastic manoeuvrability for £119.
