12 Amp Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum WG509 Metal Impeller for Fine Mulching

Having never used a tool like this I had different expectations than what it has evolved into. I have a pair of southern white oaks that like to drop leaves and acorns all winter. By springtime the drop has a tendency to choke out a bermudagrass lawn that is already starved for light and air. So every year at least 3-4 times during the season, I need to pull the bulk of this material out of the yard so the soil can accept amendments, pre-emergent, fert, etc. before greenup in the spring. Southern white oak leaves are small and they like to crawl under grass blades. Even when my lawn is cut to about 1" these leaves are still hard to extract directly into the mulcher/vac. So after slaving over covering about 1200 sq ft going inch by inch with a heavy mulcher, I figured out the easiest and most efficient way... Go over the lawn with my smaller and lighter blower and pile the loosest material in a small zone. Then vac this pile up. If any more significant material is left, try to rake it loose then repeat. This vac does not pick up the acorns but for the few that make it in, the mulcher makes quick work of it. I use the same strategy as above to pile up the acorns left over from vacuuming into a small area with the blower after vacuuming all the leaves. Then I'll pick up the bulk of it with an acorn roller and finish the rest off by hand. Random notes. -For leaf work, you really do need to set this to full power (setting 6). -The available blower feature is not that useful except when needed on occasion. I use my separate blower that is lighter instead. -It is as many reviewers have said, kind of heavy. It's not that heavy really but more so when adding the weight of the collector bag with the machine over extended amount of time, it gets pretty tiring pretty quickly. Make a habit of slinging the bag cross body as opposed to over the shoulder. -It's loud and dusty. Like it or not, the vac will pick up any loose dust on the ground and then diffuse it through the bag and into the air. My neighbor's car has a healthy layer of dust and pollen on her car now after my 2 hour sojourn in the yard. -It can handle pretty much any material it can suck up. I should say though when I first got it as a like new used item (a lie btw as it was clearly well used), it would not do anything but buzz. After a bit of trouble shooting and reseating the parts multiple times, I discovered a hard twig inside the impeller that was sticking the entire tool. After safely removing it, it has worked like a champ ever since. It has in fact picked up twigs bigger than that one and minced them readily. -It seems to be most comfortable when held vertically and sweeping about an inch above the ground. -The bag does need to be emptied often. Fair enough though because you also have to carry it. CONCLUSION: I think for the fact that I have small leaves that can't be raked, this is a lawn saving tool that is inexpensive, effective, and over two seasons now, pretty durable. I have no regrets other than AW selling me a malfunctioning barely acceptable item as Like New but they have always treated me well otherwise. I fixed it, it works, moving on. I also changed tac and began collecting the mulch to be composted as there is a significant amount and I can combine it with my grass clippings. The vac picks up a lot of dust and dirt when used on dry ground and that makes for good structure for the compost. I'm very happy with this one, its on the wall in my shed, a place of honor and space savings.

The item has American not UK electrical specifications, so is not fit for purpose in the UK. This should have been a warning or declaration in the publicity and information by Amazon.

La limpieza que antes me tomaba más de una hora, queda terminada en menos de 10 minutos. Aunque todavía no puedo opinar de durabilidad, ya que solo lo he estado usando 15 días.

Produto chegou mas a tomada não encaixa em lugar nenhum, nem em adaptador nacional
