SPARES2GO Debris Collection Bag for MacAllister MBV3000

The weakest setting, which offers the half hour, should be more than enough unless you’re severely overrun with leaves. More powerful than most consumer leaf blowers (ideal for large clumps of wet leaves), comfortable, easy to use, it’s definitely a top blower. I did use it to remove leaves from the gravel drive, but set the power to low whilst doing this and this avoided the vac picking up any gravel. The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. The larger the fan and intake, the more air volume the blower can move through the tube providing more power and uplift to move larger amounts of leaves including wet leaves.And it’s easily adjustable to suit your height – important, because if the blower is too far from the ground, you can lose the force coming from the machine, as well as it being uncomfortable on the back (from bending down to reach the floor). Old-fashioned leaf blowers were brutally noisy gadgets, but most newer models are far quieter, something irate neighbours across the country will be thankful for. What you don’t want from a vacuum is for it to suck up everything in its wake (large bits of gravel could easily break it). It’s also markedly easy to open up for removing waste and debris, while the patio head for vacuuming flat surfaces is handy, too. The cost is significant, which is why it’s not at the top of this list, but if you can suck it up (sorry again) then you’ll struggle to find a better cordless leaf blower out there.

Aside from being an absolute hoot to use, the best leaf blowers can be a handy bit of kit for anyone with a garden or patio prone to drifts of dead leaves. If your machine is not in the list, it could be that this part is suitable, but that we have no records of suitability. Weighing less than two kilos, it’s streamlined and comfortable to hold and lasts around 22 minutes on a full charge. Petrol leaf blowers like the Husqvarna are more expensive still and have higher maintenance and running costs. While it doesn’t have the puff to remove wet leaves from a lawn, it’s ideal for hard surfaces – decks, patios, driveways.
