Petrol Garden Blower Vacuums

A lightweight, versatile and extremely powerful leaf blower vacuum, the Hyundai HYBV2600X is ideal for tidying up your property and gardens throughout the seasons.

Producing a maximum air speed of 244km/h (152mph), the HYBV2600X is powered by a 26cc two-stroke air-cooled petrol engine with recoil start and Euro 5 engine technology which lowers fuel consumption and emissions whilst maintaining a powerful performance.

The conveniently located engine speed switch allows you to easily control the air speed. You can quickly and simply change functions from leaf blower to vacuum/shredder mode by removing the blower nozzle, fitting the debris pick-up tube, material delivery pipe and collection bag and you are away!  Foliage and debris is reduced by one tenth of its original size by the three metal mulching teeth and the shredded material deposited in the durable canvas 40 litre collection bag.

Weighing only 6.7kg, the Hyundai HYBV2600X features a well balanced design and ergonomically designed handles fitted with anti-vibration technology. Combined with the single over-shoulder harness supplied, operator comfort is ensured over prolonged periods of use.

Backed by a manufacturer's three year warranty, the machine can be used all year round, not just for tidying up leaves, but also for clearing grass trimmings, gutters, snow and for drying vehicles.

Armed with the feature-packed Cobra petrol blower vacuum, tidying your garden all year round has never been so easy. The Cobra BV26C has been designed for the domestic user to make clearing of leaves and small debris a simple and effortless task.

In vacuum mode, the machine reduces collected material at a ratio of 10:1 and collects it into a generous debris bag.

Here's what The Independent had to say....

"In blowing mode, this petrol tool produced plenty of puff and the nozzle was nicely designed, focussing the airflow on clumps of wet leaves and tangled twig piles to break them up and get them moving. The blower started reliably and is well designed for a prolonged assault on the garden, changing from blow to collect and back again was a very straightforward task and we weren’t playing tug o’ war with the tubes with everything converting without any issues.

In vacuum mode, the Cobra’s generous nozzle combined with the motor to not only pick up everything we wanted but ensure it was well mulched by the time it hit the bag. There was no sticking or blocking internally, even on wet days so you can work efficiently after it has been raining. The collection bag was also well positioned and didn’t sit too close to the body which can be a problem with some other models.

It’s a comfortable machine to operate although we could have done with a little less vibration coming through the handle, which might be a little restrictive if you’re out there for upwards of an hour. Another bonus is that its identifiable red paint job means you won’t spend ages trying to remember where you left it when you return from your tea break."

This entry-level 2-in-1 leaf blower and vacuum represents superb value for money for dealing with the autumn clear up. The blower vac is a welcome new addition to the 'SP' range of garden machinery, which celebrates Mitox's 10 year anniversary.

The Mitox 28BV-SP blower vacuum is powered by a 25.4cc two-stroke petrol engine which, in combination with the effective fan design, generates a high blowing speed of up to 250km/h. Starting the machine is easy thanks to the primer bulb and choke, whilst operation is a breeze using the cruise control feature.

Switching between blowing and vacuuming modes is simple. The impeller mulches the leaves to one tenth of their original volume, depositing them into 50 litre collection bag. The debris bag is easily emptied so you can add the mulched material to your compost heap.

Comfortable and efficient operation of the blower is ensured by the ergonomic design of the handle, together with the well-balanced, lightweight design of the machine.

Dealing with autumn leaf fall as well as hedge clippings and grass cuttings any time of year is a breeze with the Webb BV26 petrol blower vac.

This versatile machine has both blower and vacuum capabilities. You choose whether to direct the leaves and debris into manageable piles for disposal on the compost heap or in your green recycling bin. Or you can suck up the material which is then shredded, reducing its volume by a ratio of 12:1, before depositing the mulch created into a 40 litre collection bag. The blowing speed is an impressive 114mph.

Lightweight at just 4.8kg, the Webb BV26 is powered by a 26cc two-stroke engine and comes with a two year manufacturer's warranty.

Here's what The Independent had to say....

"This petrol model was a little tricky to get going, but we found that it was definitely worth the effort as its performance was better than some of its manufacturer’s specs suggested.

It seems to harness every mph of its advertised 114mph air speed with a concentrated blast of air through a well-designed, tapered nozzle. The narrow profile made the most of the airspeed and made the machine well-suited to moving on matted debris, while the curved shape enabled it to effectively sweep up everything ahead of it when it was used over larger areas. Specifically, the Webb was very good at precision blowing and so made very light work of driveway clearances and clogged gutters that seemed to have caught pretty much every leaf in the garden.

In vacuum mode, the Webb was incredibly efficient and handled well. The 40l collection bag secured in place without the hassle and we didn’t suffer from any blockages, which can be one of the problems working with a vacuum blower. Not too heavy to work with for a petrol model, the mulching blades clearly did their job because when we emptied the bag there was plenty of fine material to redeposit on flower beds in need of nutrients."

Not just for the autumn clear-up, the McCulloch GBV 322VX petrol blower vac will prove a useful tool for keeping your garden tidy all year round.

Not just a blower, the versatile solo by AL-KO Comfort 442 is also a high performance vacuum-shredder, making it a great machine for tackling any garden clear up. A petrol leaf blower has the distinct advantage of being powerful like a corded electric leaf blower and at the same time providing the freedom of a cordless blower.

The solo by AL-KO Comfort 442 is driven by an easy-starting 27.2cc two-stroke engine which powers a fan producing an air velocity of 260km/hour to direct fallen leaves and debris. The 0.8 kW petrol engine ensures enormous suction power and a high air flow rate when blowing. Swapping between the two functions can be done simply and quickly.

The machine has a shredding blade system which processes vacuumed material to produce a quick-rotting, nutrient-rich mulch, reducing the leaves' volume by a ratio of 10:1. The collection bag holds a substantial 55 litres of mulched debris so you can enjoy longer run-times between each trip to the compost heap. Air speed control is infinitely variable, so can be adjusted to match the working conditions.

Featuring an 'offset' blower tube to reduce wrist twisting action, the ergonomically-designed handles with soft-grip and anti-vibration system ensure operator comfort over prolonged use.
