i've got one, waste of time for my garden
i have hedges on 3 sides so need to pick up the leaves
bag just does on hold enough leaves
so i still rake and big up using those plastic hand things so u get lots of leaves in each go

if you get a Sthil backpack blowers,, their the best, i use them in work , but you will pay high for a new one, see if you can get a second hand one from a hire all shop, the sell them off at the end of the year, and they work,,,

Daily Mail did a review of them at the weekend. Think Black and Decker one scored well and wasnt the most expensive.

yep Stihl stuff is great, but a blower is just that it just shifts the problem elsewhere.

Buy a Stihl BG 86 (handheld blower) it s what i have. then add the Vacum shredder conversion kit with collection bag.

This turns your blower into a leaf sucker / mulcher with a clollection bag.

Beware of using this without changing over to a metal mulching blade on the motor fan.

If you use the existing plastic one and you suck any twigs up it wil brake the plastic fins off.

Just a tip!

Petrol 2 stroke is best. more power, completely portable and no trailing electric leads.

if you look around you will find lots of online deals using the Stihl BG56 , which tbh is not man enough as it has the less powerful motor.

Sold at a cheap price for the domestic market, where is the BG86 is aimed at Proffesionals like me who want the most power for their hard earned money.

hope this helps.

Just for reference the one from B&Q is ideal for holding still a Polish cat still that has snuck in your garage for a piss.

Don't bother buying one as it will become heavy and cumbersome. This is what you need.
