Bosch has paid attention to its ergonomics. The handle is perfectly positioned for easy manoeuvring and the power dial is reachable without stopping the job in hand.

The Terratek has a thermal cut-out safety feature, good ergonomics, and a trigger release handle that makes it safe to use. Other helpful functions include easy to maneuver roller wheels, a spacious 10.6-gallon vacuum bag, and the fact that it’s supported by an ergonomic design. The Terratek is well designed and one of the best garden vacuums for those who need a lightweight model. It’s only 3 kg in weight even though the machine is 1.2 metres in length.

The cable length may not be sufficient for very large gardens without the use of an extension cord. Lightweight at just 3.3kg, this corded electric leaf blower’s well-balanced design is easy to move around the garden thanks to its single over-shoulder support harness, which adds additional support and comfort. Comfortable To Use

Remove, collect and shred unwanted leaf and garden debris with this powerful 3500W 3-in-1 blower, vacuum and shredder from Garden Gear. Take the effort out of removing fallen leaves and cut grass from gardens and pathways using this tool, with three functions including blowing, vacuuming and mulching. However, it took some time, overheated a little, and I found the motor to be louder than other models. It’s not so loud that you’d need ear defenders like council-issue blowers, but the neighbours won’t be impressed at 7am. The Terratek is a lightweight 3-in-1 blower, vacuum, and mulcher that clears up your fallen leaves with a minimum of fuss. There’s no power adjustment but it’s easy to use as it feels very manageable. On the downside, the plastic tubing broke when I dropped it.The blower function is more powerful, but without the ability to swing it around the leaves just blow away in a straight line – you can’t round them up sheepdog style. I think the best way to use this would be to blow the leaves against a corner wall. However, the power is switched on using the power adjustment knob. I did not have this completely turned off, so when I plugged it in the machine started up. I’d prefer a separate on/off switch. Held in your hand – like the best technology and engineering, these leaf blowers will make you a walking talking typhoon - and that’s not a wild boast! With the surprisingly nippy 26cc engine working at full-force you will have over 170 mph at your finger tips- easily controlled from the throttle switch of course. I was impressed by the full power of this machine especially because it’s the quietest of the blow vacs. It’s no louder than a modern hairdryer even when the power is high. This is a real plus point if you have neighbours or a wildlife-friendly garden On the downside, it was hard to fit the tubes together because one slips inside the other and it’s hard to push them because the plastic is sharp.

The Handy blow vacuum looks professional and when it’s pieced together looks like a study piece of machinery. Better than that though is the knowledge that this machine also has a highly effective VACUUM and MULCHER functions to give you the flexibility that you need. You do need to besure that the leaves that you are vacuuming do not contain objects such as stones, acorns and the like. The machine is not designed to deal with anything other than leaves. It's tough, but doesn't eat stones! The “3 in 1 Leaf Blower, 3000W Garden Vacuum and Shredder” is designed with durability and long-lasting performance in mind. Crafted with high-quality materials, it can withstand the rigors of regular use and challenging outdoor conditions. The brand behind this product prioritizes customer satisfaction and offers a reliable warranty and support system. Rest assured that investing in this leaf blower guarantees a top-notch product that will exceed your expectations. What It’s Used For Efficient Leaf Blowing The shoulder strap is adjustable and padded and it was comfortable, especially after 20 or so minutes of work. The Bosch is well built and feels safe in use.It took a good 50 turns to get the blower head off, then another 50 to screw on the vacuum head. Don’t give up! It takes time to release. As a lightweight machine, this vacuum felt easy to manage.It’s easy to switch between the vacuum and blower with its bright orange flip switch, and a squeeze trigger starts the engine. Let go of the trigger and it automatically stops, so it’s very simple to use.

It has excellent blowing power and when I swapped the heads over its vacuum power was also excellent. The other garden vacuums I tested did not have the finesse provided by doing each function separately. Nozzle size – in general, the narrower the better, as the air flow is more concentrated, giving more control when it comes to corralling the leaves into a pile.

Alternatives Options

The easy-to-reach controls and variable speed switch allow you to switch between vacuuming and blowing effortlessly whilst maintaining a controlled airspeed. Can Be Used Year-Round 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. At only 3.5 kg this garden vacuum is easy to manoeuvre. I didn’t feel tired because the flexible shoulder strap took its weight and left my arms free to direct the tip.
