Autumn seems to have come late this year, but as the nights draw in and the leaves turn from red to gold the garden still needs some care. As part of the Autumn clear up we have a range of Blower/Vacuums both hand-held and wheeled to meet your gardening needs.

Which is the right machine for you and your garden?

Suitable for smaller gardens, electric machines are quieter and easier to handle than the petrol models.Although noisier, the petrol machines provide more freedom of movement and a greater range as no cables are involved.

For the 2010 season the ever popular AL-KO Hurricane 2200E Blower/Vacuum

AL-KO Hurricane 2200E Blower/Vacuum

This lightweight and comfortable to use blower/vac is ideal for the smaller garden with a 0.3m mains electric cable.

The shoulder strap means it can be carried easily and with 2 front guide wheels rolled along the ground. This will take the weight of the machine and reduce any operator strain.

The operating trigger is designed to fit comfortably into the hand as part of the integral handle.

The large 40 litre capacity bag is easily removed for emptying or replacement. An inventive pre-separator can collect pine cones and stones etc in a separate box. Leaves are efficiently shredded upon collection meaning less stops to empty the bag and more time vacuuming.
