Product Information

The Bosch garden vacuum is designed so that the separate blow and vacuum functions are not compromised. It’s the lightest garden vacuum cum blower we have reviewed. Moreover, it’s also provided with a shoulder strap and a smartly designed handle that gives you complete control. Fox leaf vacuum and blower have the option to select from two airspeeds in the blower mode. Gentle airspeed at 100Km/h and high force at 300km/h. The multipurpose machine is populated with individual steel blades that mulch leaves at a ratio of 15:1. GW2500 weighs 3.2 kg, which is not the lowest among garden vacuums, nor its high. Despite some extra weight, the vacuum is easy to use and is well-reputed among users who don’t want to invest additional time or effort on lawn mowing. Why?

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.A big plus point is the pointed nozzle tip which is smaller than some of the other vacuums I’m testing. The small nozzle made it easy to get between plants without damaging their foliage. My newly planted euonymus hedgelived to see another day. 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. The support wheels work well, but I was able to hold The Handy off the ground for a full half-hour without getting tired. It’s light enough to manage without the wheels, but I can see they’d be useful for folk with trouble lifting. Safety power off the system in this petrol-powered vacuum shuts down the machine to prevent chances of an injury while changing modes.

Power: Models with adjustable power settings were more versatile, making them better for everyday use, so these were rated higher than single-power models. Models with 3000+ watts are typically considered better for garden use. However, if it was less powerful, I tested whether the manufacturer made up for this with a clever design or greater efficiency.Air Flow - The blower has an adjustable air flow which can be set between 165km/h and 285km/h. The vacuum air flow rate is 160 litres per second. Higher speeds are better for use on lawns and lower speeds for use on hard surfaces. It won’t start without the collection bag in place and turns off when you release the trigger. It’s a safe machine with its long 12-metre power lead that cuts down on the need for an extension cable. The Von Haus garden vacuum has a thermal cut-out switch The thermal cut out will activate and shut down the appliance should it overheat. It then needs 60 minutes before use. With patience, you can cover a decent-sized patio, but the machine may overheat before you finish. It needs a good ten minutes to cool off and although the thermal trip switch wasn’t activated I felt like the machine was too hot to continue.
