Flymo GardenVac 1500 Plus

For all those people lucky enough to have a garden, but maybe unlucky enough for it to surrounded by deciduous trees, then you more than likely know just how depressingly horrible the thought of autumn can be, what with all that raking up of those soggy leaves which constantly flutter down onto your freshly cut lawn... I for one am amazed by how many leaves are actually on a tree as they seem to be falling but the trees take forever to look bare. Anyway, keeping the discoloured fallen leaves off you grass seems like a constant battle between you, with your rake, and mother nature with her wicked sense of humour, and you know that the lady always wins in the end as ...  Read the complete review

When you live in Surrey, leaves become a part of your life. Surrey is, I understand, the most forested county in England. Now, you may find that hard to believe but, if you want evidence, visit my garden any time of year but especially in Autumn.

Want to get rid of those pesky leaves from your garden. Are you worn out from using a lawn rake, pulling them into piles, carting them to the compost bin or pushing the wheelie bin around to fill it up? Then buy a Garden Vac! The Flymo GardenVac Plus that I have just bought does the job but I have found it easier to blow the leaves along to concentrate them before trying to vacuum them up. The Vac makes a nice job of shredding the leaves and debris, ready for putting on the compost but it does tend to make your back ache although not as bad as a prolonged session with the rake! It's probably a rash purchase as it will only be used in the ...  Read the complete review
