Bosch Electric Leaf Blower and Vacuum UniversalGardenTidy 3000

Just to be clear the review question for this asks for stars for drying power (I put 4 stars as not sure what they mean as this doesn't dry anything). However for blowing leaves and small debris and then hoovering them up it is 5* all the way. The blower is very useful in that you can lower and raise the power as required (which can be very useful when getting leaves from corners and gravel). Great for blowing leaves off gravel without blowing gravel everywhere. As a vacuum it works great, but suggest don't use when ground is wet as it will suck up mud that will clog the pipe and mechanism (but won't stop it ,it just makes a funny noise and then you dismantle it and clear the mud from the area around the shredder and from the suction pipe. Shredder works great (proper metal shredder) and really reduces the volume of the leaves hugely. Also, unlike some other similar machines I have read about, the bag appears very robust and I've had no problem with the zipper (good old Bosch). One final thing, some reviews have said it is a faff to remove the screw when switching between suction and blowing. This is true, but this makes the machine appear robust and is very good for safety as you can hear a click when the current cut-out engages and disengages when you screw it in all the way. If you are in the market for one of these for a small to medium size garden then this is pretty much perfect.

This leaf blower and vacuum is really handy, especially if you deal with a lot of leaves. The power is strong and it works well on both dry and damp leaves. Switching between blowing and vacuuming is useful, and the shredding helps reduce how often you need to empty the bag. Build quality feels solid and it does the job properly. That said, it is quite heavy. After a while, you definitely feel the weight, especially if you’re using the vacuum mode for longer sessions. Assembly is mostly fine, but the instructions could be clearer. Overall, a good and powerful garden tool, but the weight might be an issue if you want something light or easy to carry for long periods.

The shedding feature is very important to a leaf vacuuming. It makes some larger things break in pieces and goes into the bag smoothly. It is also good for compose or save space into the wheelie bin. I had it already for 3 years , still working perfectly. The bag is high quality. One bad side is changing the vacuum into blower need to take some time to do. But I am not usually need it.

Great bit of kit. The blower is super powerful and the vacuum has really good suction. Only niggle is the cord is far too short so an extension needed.

I bought this to replace 2 previous shredder vacuum which were cheaper but a waste of money. This Bosch is well made and its much easier to clean the blade if required. The zip on the bag works well, much better than the cheaper versions which jammed or split. Its quite heavy but manageable if you use the shoulder strap and empty the bag regularly. It chops finely so I am looking forward to some good leaf mold next year. I made some lovely stuff last year by shredding with the lawn mower but this combined vacuum shredder is more efficient.

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.

Bought this to replace a petrol garden vac. Previously had an older Bosch model. Was thinking I had made a mistake not getting a cordless machine but honestly this is a great bit of kit. Easy to set up. Feels well made. The metal blade instead of plastic feels like it should be robust. The variable speed is a game changer for use on gravel areas, no more sucking up stones! The cable length is pretty decent and when paired with a long extension cable it’s not been a hassle at all. For the price point it feels like great value.

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

ممتاز وعملى .. انصح به

شركه ممتازه ، آله قويه تنظف بضمير .. حبيتها

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.

الجهاز يستاهل كل ريال دفع فيه من ناحية النفخ ومن ناحية الشفط وتحويل الاوراق لمخلفات صغيرة للتسميد رائع جدا واعجبني

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.
