Flymo SCIROCCO 3000 Electric Garden Vac & Blower 3000w 240vFor keeping the garden tidy all year round a Garden Vac is an essential piece of equipment. Not only can it be used to pick up leaves and other debris around the garden, it can also be used to blow grass clippings and leaves off paths and patios. The powerful suction means even wet leaves can be collected without clogging, making the winter clean-up in the garden much easier. Leaves are also shredded as they enter the collection bag which reduces the number of times you need to empty the bag, and when added to a compost bin the leaves will rot down faster.Includes:WheelsSpecifications:Engine - 3000wCollection Bag - 45 LitresAir speed - 200 km /hSuction Capacity - 180 l /sShredding Ratio - 10 to 1Cable length - 12 Metres

Very dissapointed with the blow/suck performance. Not as good as the flymo 2700. i believe the wheel at the end is more of a hinderance than a help.I found it impossible to pick up hedge cuttings! I wish i had bought another flymo 2700.

Seems to do the job very well but besides picking up leaves and debris it also blows them in to the material container which has perforations in it to allow the air to escape, which i found also allows a large quantity of dust to be blown over you, if the area you are clearing is dry!

I found this to be pretty useless as a vac. It creates as much mess as it clears up because it throws mulched dust and debris from all around where the bag fits to the main body. in the end you are covered from head to toe with dust leaving a trail behind you as you go. Also the telescopic end keeps retracting back when you run the wheels along the ground and you are constantly having to pull it out again because it does not seem to lock properly. only used it a few times but have now put it in the dustbin and will be going out to purchase another garden vac along as it is not a flymo as this one is a waste of money.

The weight is a problem for me as a female, but also for a strapping grown up son. i thought the wheel was there to alleviate this, but the wheel is quite pointless. fresh (not wet) privet hedge clippings took forever (at least 10 times longer than sweeping and shovelling and thus more tiring!) and it would only suck if the tube was held vertically, while the wheel waved in the air being useless. despite the advice about wearing ear protection, the noise level is simply unacceptable (e.G. The neighbours) especially since it needs to be on for such a long time. 'tis on its way back for a refund. If i need to do any blowing in the garden, i shall simply take my powerful domestic handheld canister vacuum and use it in reverse. For collecting? It's back to the brush and shovel.

Only just used the flymo vac and blower for the first time, it is a little bulky and would be to much for a woman to use even though it has a roller to help with movement,it does seems to do the job and being a vac it also picks up, my garden is narrow and long so i was pleased with the performance, but if you have a large garden i would say go for a better leaf blower only machine, i have spoken to a gardener and he tells me that the blowers only are more powerful and all you have to do is pick up the leaf, saying that it does the job for me..

A powerful machine, which makes short work of the wettest leaves and also has no trouble coping with twigs & beech-nuts.

I found this unit a little heavy and very noisy. I had to dismantle and clean out the fan housing and pipe 3 times in the first half hour as the fan over mulches and reduces the leaves to a paste! I complained to flymo (husqvarna) who were not interested. Eventually returned the unit for a refund and purchased a black & decker

This is an excellent bit of kit. It blows well and hoovers well (as well as chopping up leaves). it's worth saying that it won't move wet leaves in long grass - but nor will a storm. it has been brilliant picking up leaves from a gravel (fairly large stones, the 0.5-1cm variety, not the 2-3mm variety) drive, even when they're wet and stuck amongst stones. Using the nose to move the stones frees up the leaves - without picking up the stones. It picked up just about every leaf even when they'd been there a while and were wet. the one main thing that i assume those who give negative reviews haven't realised is that if the power drops, there's a build up of gunk around the fan. Undo the grey knob at the top, flip it open and clean it out, and you're back to hurricane force. I've found it get gunked more quickly with very wet leaves or when it sucks up mud (worm casts, etc.). No an issue at all with dry leaves which it minces through quickly, and reduces wonderfully. thrilled with it.

The unit is not light, but you need the weight for the motor etc. If they made it light weight, it would not do the job. The suction works really well, even picking up acorns. I filled about 10 bags of wet leaves and acorns at the weekend. No bother. i think this product "does what it says on the tin" and i am certainly pleased we bought it.

Can't understand why people go on about the weight - you can't have it both ways, this is a big unit and does a great job. Picked-up sycamore leaves, ash (including those damn stem bits!), cherry and beech with ease, including wet. Suggest a higher quality shoulder strap would make a world of difference - the one supplied does not stay in adjustment and is not in keeping with the rest of flymos quality, otherwise, a great buy.
