C J Wood –
Good on dry leaves. More power needed for wet leaves on lawn. No variable power – its on or off so have to keep flicking the switch for light work. Switch safety interlock is totally unnecessary and downright annoying. Excessive” Elf and Safety ” as this is not a dangerous machine if switched on accidentally.
Tony –
Very effective, quiet leaf blower which was what we were looking for rather than disturbing neighbours with a petrol driven machine. Well made German engineering.
Kevin Marriner –

Gary Smith –

Excellent very powerful lightweight blower.
Joe –
Decent blower for the money
Nick –
Great combination of power, weight & convenience ( coredless ). Get about 20 mins from full charge
Jeremy G-C –
lightweight. Power OK but would always be happy with a bit more. Also, an adjustable power option would be handy when blowing over gravel to keep stones still and move only leaves.
