Electric Leaf Blower and Vacuum UniversalGardenTidy 3000

Would give it 10 stars if I could it’s made the job 10x easier. So I have big trees at the front of the house 20ft or so, leaves are a nightmare in the autumn. I usually blow them to the front of the house from the back garden which it’s easy to do when you learn how to direct debris. Small twigs and leafs all go up it easily. Even wet leaves. Metal blade which makes the durability much better, cables plenty long enough but for me I need much longer so I use extension. Suctions incredible and blow function, rarely use it full power. Noise, is dependant on how fast it’s running obvs. For me it’s a winner.

I previously had the 1800w version for many years and found it reliable and fit for purpose. This model being 3000w excels the older one on power, which is welcome. It clears leaves and debris on lawns and driveways with ease. At 4.7kg it's the same as the older model and by the standards of corded blowers is lightweight. I can't comment on the vac function as it's not something my large garden area suits. I will concede that the previous model had a switch that proved difficult to turn on at times and hope this one is better. The variable power option was a must for me and this Bosch is excellent in that regard. Being corded, it is more powerful than battery models I've tried and doesn't suffer from the reduced usage time that plagues battery powered blowers. I'll update after more use regarding durability and the performance of the on/off switch.

I am replacing a cheaper blower, vac of another well known brand that frustrates me when I use it. The one I have used before has to be wheeled across the floor and its blowing action is very poor. The Bosch one is worlds apart by comparison. It feels a much better quality product and functions so much better too. There is just so much more power. It is very well thought out and arrives in quite a compact box with some assembly required. Nothing too taxing but the parts that require joining together to form the cylinder for the vacuum attachment are a very tight fit and requires a light tap to fit the three sections all together. This aside, the vacuum and blower attachments are interchangeable and very easy to swap from one to the other. The main body of the tool has a detachable shoulder strap and is not excessively heavy to use. There is a leaf gathering bag feels particularly well made and clips on to the vacuum pipe. The end connection has a push release action and again oozes quality. The blower tool is just the right length for hand held use. It’s rate can be adjusted from just a light breeze to an absolute hurricane. The unit takes its power from a rotating, variable power switch and it is important to note that there is a screw thread release on the access door to the fan blade that must be correctly fastened or the tool will not function. This door helps with any clogging issues. It can be easily cleaned and the leaves either discarded or used for Mulching. For the UK there is a long flex with a three pin plug attached. I am really pleased with the purchase price as I have seen this priced at a much higher price elsewhere so it really is a bargain. It also comes with a three year guarantee.

Only used once but it went surprisingly well. Leaf vacuums don't have a great rep but I can't fault this. It's a bulky beast but has been well thought out and seems great value. It has a power adjusting knob so you can tune in your max power so it sucks up everything you need it to and leaves what you want to stay, like gravel etc. Emptying is easy, although the fabric within the bag is like Velcro to the mulched up leaves so it is difficult to get the bag totally cleaned out. Apart from that, no issues so far but will update if that changes. I would have preferred cordless and would have chosen cordless if I only wanted a leaf blower but the vacuum was what I really wanted so power was important. So, I sacraficed the freedom of cordless and went with a corded device. Very happy with this.

Feels good quality and performance wise sucked and blew extremely well considering what it is supposed to do it was heavy to use but the shoulder strap was helpful to balance the weight collection was collected in the bag sufficiently noise was reasonable while the power cord was a good length overall an excellent choice

The product itself is brilliant. The instruction guide could have been clearer and would have given 5 stars if so. Used first time on our large garden and it’s sucked up all the leaves including pine needles which is a huge bonus for us. Not tried the leaf blower yet but I will assume that is equally as good. The power button is simple and easy to switch between how much pressure you need with the a simple turn of the switch. It is a robust tool but I’m a female and didn’t find it too heavy to carry. The shoulder strap is useful, the handle position is adjustable to what suits you. The bag capacity is fairly large for collecting your leaves. The leaves are shredded automatically when using. Long suction tube which actually reaches the ground! It’s in 3 connecting parts when you assemble it. The disconnection of the suction head with bag is really easy when needing to empty your collected rubbish into your garden bin. All in all this is the best one I’ve ever bought. Really pleased. Will make life so much simpler. We chose the corded version as we have a large garden. Have found in the past that cordless ones don’t power up / hold enough charge for extended use. It takes more than 20 minutes to do all of our garden and have found that our Ryobi chargeable only lasts for 20 minutes before it needs recharging. Hope that helps.

Well packaged. Opening up there is a quick set up instruction and a multi language book. Fitting item together was easy excepting the suction nozzle in three parts. The fit is tight so a bit of lubrcation is required to slide the joints together. The machine starts by the turning of a knob and it is a lot quieter than a previous model (Bosch ALS2500) and its suction is great. The variable speed of suction is useful when lifting leaves (only) on gravel. The shredder on the impeller chops leaves and stalks of sycamore trees to dust to 25 mm ideal for composting. The bag has a skirt to direct the air and may be some dust downwards and away from the legs, the zip opens well to empty the leaves I have not used the blower facility so cannot comment. Overall I was impressed and pleased to get this, to replace the previous unit which failed when the motor bearing broke up and parts are not available.

The leaf blower itself is great but the strap it was supplied with was poor quality and the clip broke on first use. Bosch after sales were useless as per my previous experience of them and never replied to emails. The leaf blower is quite heavy and you really do need the shoulder strap . Rather than send the whole thing back to Amazon I contacted them by chat. They gave me a small refund and I have sourced a strap from a hold-all which works well. So I’d recommend the product but you know if something goes wrong, no mater how minor, Bosch customer service are useless

Si compras este soplador para España el enchufe que tiene es para UK y no esta adaptado, en la caja no hay adaptador, para usarlo hace falta tambien ir y buscar para comprar si quieres utilizarlo en España. Durante la compra ni una palabra sobre esto y como vez en la foto tampoco se ven. No se como esta este soplador porque de momento no puedo usarlo sin adaptador para enchufarlo.

After years of manually raking up leaves in my backyard, I decided to invest and purchase this Bosch 3-in-1 blower/vac. Although I've had disappointing results with a previous blower/vac (from another well-known brand), I was convinced to try this Bosch unit based on other reviews I read. I was not disappointed. The blower/vac unit is well made and feels rugged for its intended purpose . The diagrams in the instructions were clear and made it very easy to assemble - without needing any tools. Note that the attachments for the blower and vacuum are easily swapped out but once the vacuum tubes are assembled together, they are not intended to be disassembled. Performance-wise, this unit was fantastic. It had plenty of blowing and suction power. The noise level was moderate but this is somewhat subjective as it depends on your expectations. I actually found it quite quiet, considering the power levels (which is adjustable using a rotary dial below the handle). It is easy to maneuver in blower mode, but a little more cumbersome with the vacuum bag attached. It weighs approx 3.5kg in blower mode but up to 4.8 lkg in vacuuming mode. Trying to move the vacuum tube around the yard does require some dexterity and I nned to use both hands, but a carry strap is supplied to take off some of the weight from your arms. Overall, I was very happy and surprised by the power of this unit during vacuuming. I used it to vacuum up leaves, grass clippings, and small sticks around my yard, and was able to do this at the lower end of the power levels. The metal blades for shredding did an excellent job of shredding up the leaves and sticks, filling up very little of the 50L storage bag. Performance-wise, I have to rate this five stars, but some owners may find it a bit heavy and cumbersome to use in vacuum mode. For anyone sick and tired of manually raking in their garden, this is a definite must-have. Highly recommended.
