Date: 4 Nov 2005 9:09 pm
Review:
Used this one for three falls now, and its working well. Converts quickly from a blower to a vacuum.
Has good suction power for pulling up matted leaves.
Mulches leaves significantly reducing their volume for yard waste bags.
Okay for urban yard where a 100 foot or less (need to use a heavy duty cord due to its high amp usage) cord isn't going to limit getting to the leaves.
Pros:
Quick change from blower to vac.
Adustable air velocity for building up a pile or moving leaves along.
Cons:
Plastic impellor might wear in time. Has sucked up a tin can and one inch diameter short sticks with some wear on the blades, but still working well.
Date Bought: 2003
Price Paid: don't recall
Recommended: yes, for smaller yards.
