26cc 3-in-1 Petrol Leaf Blower, Vacuum, Mulcher & Shredder

Great bit if kit and works really well.

Never had one before so it took a bit of time to get the length of the strap correct and working in conjunction with the swinging motions for the blowing and sucking. They are different.Vac’ing is slow and controlled. Blowing is more freehand - I find it easier without the strap for this.I get told off for rev’ing too much but it’s such fun. It’s a powerful bit of kit and easily moves wet leaves out drains and gullies.With NO REV’ING it can suck the leaves out of our gravel without sucking up the gravel - it’s great, it saves hours of back-breaking work. The mulcher makes them into leaf confetti and great for the compost heap.We found that it’s not good at sucking up raked leaves in a pile, it blocks up. That said, it’s very simple to unblock. But it is good to run along the edge of the borders and remove leaves.When you wear the strap make sure it’s on your clothes not your skin - the swing action rubs away your skin very quickly!!

Pros: Powerful little vac/blower that works and starts pretty well. Mulching blades are metal instead of plastic which is ace! Pretty good value for moneyCons: when in vac mode, the plastic pipe that connects the unit to the bag is in direct line with the exhaust. This then result in an oily residue being deposited on the pipe that you then get on your hands when removing the pipe after use. Also, guard that required to be in place when in blow mode (otherwise the engine won't start) has got an extremely flimsy sprung hinge arrangement which isn't fit for purpose and comes apart everytime it's used.

Like to say thank you to the Dispatch it was a day early thank you 😊 it was a bite Fiddley put in tubes Together Blowing 10 /10 leafs Sucking up leafs 8 /10 you can't get Foreign objects sucked up. plastic bottles are tops it will stop the Mortar dead. And don't try sucking up.leafs on gravel it will f@&£ the moter up

I'm a professional gardener. I bought this blower as a backup. It was cheap and needed it. I wasn't expecting much, and so didn't really mind that it was quite loud and rough-sounding and a bit on the heavy side. It was cheap enough and only bought as a backup, so fair enough.Then the pull-string broke. No problem, I thought - I keep a reel of pull string as I have a lot of petrol gear and these things happen. I opened the blower up and discovered the pull-start mechanism was held in place by just one screw. One screw that is glued in place. One screw that is not just glued in place, but is also made of a super cheap, very soft alloy, so that when you try to remove it, the head of the screw just deforms and cannot be turned.The screws used on the rest of the machine are fine. The one holding the string in place is different - purposefully soft and purposefully glued in place so that you cannot replace the string, and must buy a whole new plastic cover with a pull-start built in. For £30.So, a quick fix for a few pence-worth of string actually costs £30 to remedy, and involves shipping a great lump of plastic and throwing the old big lump of plastic in the bin.This sort of behaviour is irresponsible, cynical, money-grubbing and calculated.I won't buy another thing from Parker; they aren't cheap, not in the long run. And, judging by this blower, not really very good.Spend a few extra pounds, or, better yet, buy second-hand.

As usual, an excellent quality product from Parker and unbelievably cheap. Blew those leaves into another dimension. Super powerful and starts like a breeze (unlike the output on this beauty which blows like a gale).

Excellent small machine always starts first time note without a Choke ,but with primer. Extremely easy to use, user friendly , Does more that what is intended for. I like to no issues what so ever. Underrated by negative rewives.

Well made a lot of machine for the price, very impressed with this brand as I have other machines made by this company and have had no problems at all excellent.
