Spear & Jackson S30BLV Corded Leaf Blower & Vac - 3000W

Product Information

The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Leaf blowers and garden vacuums category, of which we found 10 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. Like the corded, you get the wheels and the shoulder strap for added support to reduce body strain along with the vac mode and 7 different speed settings so you can apply more pressure for specific type jobs. You will find that the vacuum function and the shredding function work well together as the debris is shredded into small pieces which allows the bag to carry a lot more and turns it into mulch where needed. Not only do you have the integrated rake and the shredding unit in the vac mode, you also get the variable speed blow options so you can increase the level of power when required with those more difficult jobs around your garden

You cannot use it for large areas of grass cuttings – it is designed for leaves only but still can be used for fine dry grass clippings if needed. It is better overall when the leaves are scattered around instead of all in one large pile After using them over a few days, we have to say without a shadow of a doubt that they are both great tools and we have no issue in recommending them to the wider public – just be careful on which one you select based on the size of your own garden. The vacuum is not as heavy duty or as powerful as the more expensive stronger brands but at least they come with the appropriate price tags to make it more affordable for the average home owner. Verdict A. Yes, the dual charger will charge both batteries together which normally takes 2 hours on averageA. It works better on dry leaves as wet leaves can be more difficult. You can dislodge and scatter with the blower first and then vacuum when most of the water has been removed from the leaves. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it. For those of you who hate dragging cords around with you, this cordless option would be ideal as you have more freedom with the areas you can walk to and work through Our own personal preference for a medium size garden, would definitely have to be for the corded version as it offers a lot more power than the cordless, it has a lower price, an integrated rake and the shredding function to mention just a few. The cordless version for a medium size garden with tons of leaves has much less power and the battery runtime doesn’t last long enough to complete the full job in one sitting. So in summary – the Corded version is the one that we would choose between the two for medium sized gardens. The wheels are integrated into the unit and cannot be removed and the cable of 10m will most likely mean an extension cord will be required which will be an added expense.

Both batteries can be charged at the same time as you get the dual charger which takes on average 2 hours to complete for both combined.

Making Gardening more enjoyable

Unlike the corded version that has an integrated rake, there is no integrated rake feature with the cordless which we missed when it comes to dislodging tougher clogged up areas.
