Title: Gem for the price
Review: This is a hit with my husband. He loves the mobility of the vacuum tool and is impressed by the mulching fly wheel. It may not save him time, but it picks up the never ending supply of leaves around the pool which means fewer leaves in the pool to clog up the filter. A blower just pushes the leaves into the pool but the vacuum attachment converts it into a walk around vacuum with pretty good suction.It wasn't difficult to put together, but it is a bit heavy to carry for long periods of time. The power cord can be problematic because it can get tangled, caught on something or just gets in the way.The price was a good deal, less than a shop vac or outdoor vacuum.It is a bit noisy, so ear plugs are recommended. But overall he is pleased with the performance and usefulness of this blower/vacuum/mulcher. His new favorite yard tool.

Title: for the $49 price, thius is a steal
Review: works very well. I used it as a leaf vacuum. made quick work of the job I had.Only thing I found I disliked was, the bag filledup fairly quick. So it needed emptied more oftern. But when it was empty, it worked very well and very little dust comes out of the bag also.I honestly wasn't expecting it to work as well as it does for the price of less than $50. Also, I have a battery operated leaf vac and I think I like the corded one better, Its faster at picking up the leaves.

Title: I really like this, a few things to note tho
Review: I purchased this for a few reasons, one, I wanted to be able to mulch leaves in my yard as we have many trees, I also have 3 big dogs and finding their ummm "presents" in the yard during fall becomes difficult lol. I don't like bagging leaves so I wanted something that would just mulch the leaves. I also planned to buy a gutter cleaner attachment, as I hate heights lol.I have never had a leaf blower before so I can't compare it to others, but now that I got one, I wish I had had this years ago. I haven't tried this on wet or old leaves but it has been dry here, so leaves have been super dry. It does an AWESOME job blowing the leaves. In minutes I had all the leaves in a pile. I was actually pretty impressed with the suction of it when put into vac mode, in some of the videos it looked like maybe it wasn't all that powerful but yeah...it sucked up leaves no problems, sometimes even very small twigs, and pine needles from a ponderosa pine.However, I have read other reviews say this and other brands don't usually "mulch" very well and I found that to be the case. It DOES shred and break down the leaves really well, and if your goal is to have less to bag, this will do the trick. But if you were wanting to really mulch it down to more of a powder you can sprinkle back onto your lawn this doesn't do that. BUT, it breaks down enough that all I had to do was dump the contents of the bag into a trash can, and then use my string trimmer to break the leaves down more.Yes you will get dusty with this as others have said, even when using the bag but...yard work is dusty dirty business so, I don't personally consider that a big deal.My one gripe is switching it over to vac mode. It is very easy to use and operate however in order to put the tube on for vac function, you have to depress a lever on the bottom of this unit to flap open the cover, and then push in the tubing, lining up the lock tabs. The release tab is kinda stiff so its a bit of a pain, then once you release the cover, its spring loaded so the blower keeps trying to pull away from you while your trying to hold the cover open, and insert the vac tube into the tabs which makes it a bit of a pain trying to hold the unit still, while lining up the tabs. I had to put the blower against a wall, then put my foot up against to brace it, to keep it from pivoting away from me while I put the tube on. Its not a huge deal tho, and definitely not a deal breaker for me.I am 5' tall, 100lb female and I found this to be fairly light weight. I have a medium size yard. Given I'm a bit of a lightweight lol, I was a bit afraid at first to use it on the high setting, but after I got a feel for it, I was able to manage it without a problem.All in all am very happy with purchase. Its so so much easier then raking or sweeping. I have a muscle condition that makes it hard for me to sweep sometimes and we have several trees that drop small berries all over the sidewalk which becomes a slip hazard after awhile, that would normally be a 10-15 min. job for me to clean all the time, this took care of it in about 1-2 min.

Title: SMH....
Review: I was excited when I ordered this. Hmm, what a let down. I bought this leaf blower/ vacuum for my backyard. So, the leaf blower is good but the leaf vacuum was not. I feel like there wasn't enough suction. This just didn't work out for me. Like I said though, the leaf blower part does work well.. but ..that's about it.

Title: It definitely blows and sucks
Review: I bought this primarily as a leaf vacuum but it doesn't vacuum. It can barely pick up flower pedals let alone larger leaves. Whatever it does pick up, it seems like it crushes and spits it back out of the suction tube, making more of a mess than I had to begin with.

Title: Lightweight, powerful and very easy to use
Review: Wow, was amazed at the power this machine had. Vacuumed dead dried leaves efficiently and quickly. Was able to use it for an hour but did not tire my arms, very lightweight. Easy to use, can hold handle in several positions. Great purchase!

Review: Para el uso doméstico, es el mejor en potencia que he usado de las sopladoras básicas. Me ha servido para ahorrarme muchísimo tiempo en recoger hojas y juntar la tierra que en Coahuila, México, abunda. No es pesado, por lo que es apto para uso de cualquier persona.

Review: I purchased this exclusively for the vacuum mode so I can pick up leaves in my yard. Changing modes require swapping out the tube attachment and changing the orientation of the machine. It's not too complicated but it's not something you can do on the go, so keep that in mind if you were hoping to switch modes with a simple button press - you can't.The blowing mode works fine. The power is strong enough to blow anything you don't want on your lawn away, up to and including your neighbour's kids.The vacuum mode is what I normally use though and it works well enough that I pretty much always leave it at half-power instead of the incredibly loud full-power mode (noise level probably on par with a gas leaf blower, or your spouse's nagging).The half power mode is a bit more tolerable noise wise and will pick up leaves, even damp ones, assuming they're simply sitting on the ground and not tangled in things.You do have to hold the tube fairly close to the ground and hover above it to pick up stuff and that does get a bit tiring on the arms after a while since you can't really just drag the hard pipe across the ground without scraping things up. I wish there was a brush or broom attachment so I can pick things up by sweeping them. I suppose if you use full-power you won't have to hold the tube as close to the ground but I find at full-power it's strong enough to pick up pebbles which I imagine is not good for the mulcher inside.The bag can hold a lot of leaves, partly because they get chopped up inside. I could do my whole backyard (about 1000sqft) without needing it empty it, although when the leaves come down more heavily I might need to empty it once or twice. The mulched leaves are great for composting.Overall it does what it claims, and seems sturdy enough to last a long time. If you don't have a huge yard and you need to pick up leaves because your neighbour has a million trees that likes to shed their collective load of leaves in your yard in the fall, it's a good buy.

Review: 1.Too much noise2. Suction pipe gets blocked easily and frequently with a few dry leavesOtherwise the machine is quite simple with no other functions. As such the price is high.

Review: Nice unit for the money. The blower is very good. The vacuum is weak but would be better if the bag allowed for more airflow. If you open the zipper a little bit, it makes a mess but picks up everything.

Review: Muy potente y fácil de maniobrar. El único inconveniente tal vez es la conexión. Ya que necesitas una extensión con una conexión única. No sirven las que tienen 3 enchufes.
