I want a leaf blower / garden vac.

Options
It's that time of year again and already the leaves are 10 inches deep to the back gate. (One evening of wind and rain and all the leaves in our street seem to head for my house!) :wall:

I'm fed up with sweeping, collecting, disposing etc. So I want a garden vac - preferably with built in shredder, but of course - at the best Value For Money.

Any suggestions please? :confused:
Any special offers out there I could use? :think:

Thanks,
Nick.

    Not sure if I want a petrol one or not to be honest - not likely to be going near Kent though, so it's fairly academic!
    Thanks for the offer though.

    I bought the champion one from Focus For £39.99, and took it back the next day. if i bent down on my hands and knees and blew on the leaves it would have been just as effective.

    It has now been reduced to £32 but I would still not consider it.

    Thanks MDUK,

    I've now bought a Flymo 2200 - should have lots more power than some of the other ones I've been looking at with 1600 or 1800 watts. Hopefully it will be effective.
