Excellent produc
I love this blower although not as efficient as the petrol run blowers, it
is lightweight and easy to use for small areas. Battery life not as good as
I hoped .
Great value for money!
Very happy with this product for the price I paid
Bosch cordless leaf blowe
Easy to use on dry or damp leaves. Sodden leaves take a bit more effo
Uses the 18 v 'Power4All' battery as other Bosch cordless appliances
Excellent for removing leaves from corners and awkward spaces where a brush can’t easily reach. But takes practice to corral them into a neat pile! Not so good for wet leaves that have been trampled down – you’ll probably need to loosen them with a wire rake first. The spec is silly saying it has an air speed of 210 km/h – the amount of air matters just as much. A useful product if you already have the battery with your cordless drill for example, but rather harder to justify if you have to get a battery and charger specially for the blower. I think it would struggle to cope with anything heavier than leaves – such as hedge trimmings.
Good produc
It is as described, easy to use with a reasonable battery life
Good light weight leaf blowe
Light weight useful blower that my wife can use as well as me. You just have to remember to let it completely stop before switching on again .
excellent back-up for the small jobs
does all it claimed very well and the ability to interchange the battery with other tools a great selling move by Bosch
Can’t comment on longivity as i haven’t had it long enough
Quiet, good control of blow
Used this product to clean the garage and the stairs on a 3-story apartment in Japan. It is not terrifically powerful but the air is very well focussed so that it works very well for pushing dust, small gravel, light leaves and paper in a controlled way. It is very light and easy to use and effective for this purpose. I like it, it is perfect for what I needed it for.
For large decks, pine needles and heavy fall leaves you would want a heavier blower with a bigger aperture but this is ideal for cleanup around a small area or of concrete steps and landings.
This blower uses the smaller 1.5 Amp Bosch battery that I use in my cordless drill. I also have the larger 6 Amp Bosch battery for a Bosch cordless angle grinder, which is much more powerful but does not fit in this blower. If you buy this without the battery, make sure the Bosch battery and charger you have is for the 1.5 Amp battery.
Easy to use in one hand
Really good overall, but take care fitting the battery. It slides in on 2 grooves but you can miss one groove, then the battery is not secure.
If I can use it anyone ca
It was bought for my sister who is 82 she said it was really good. And would recommend it to anyone.
Switch a little iffy but worth every penny!
Update after a years use: Perfect in every way, but, there seems to be an inherent problem with the on-off trigger. Often fails to switch on, after a few seconds and a ‘tap’ on the handle, the switch reactivates. Somewhat frustrating and surely Bosch should be aware? Other than that could not do without this blower. Battery life adequate but recommend you buy two batteries.

Excellent lightweight blower.
Easy to use in tight corners, Lightweight and very manoeuvrable
Lightweight blower.
This was to replace my corded garden vac. The power is much less but did the job of blowing the leaves off the lawn. It was fine for my garden but it wouldn’t be powerful enough for a large one.
The battery charged really quickly and lasted well.
Good lightweight uni
Does the job. Just need to let it spin down properly before trying to start again.
Good lightweight easy-to-use garden blowe
For a lightweight blower the power is excellent and battery life in use more than adequate.
Varoisus complaints about delays when starting blowing are because users are not awaiting the fan stopping from a previous blowing session… Easily learnt to wait a few seconds (prsumably to protect the motor) and then pressing the button to re-power the blower. It works just fine when technique is learnt and used.
Lightweight and twice as effective as a brush
I had a much more powerful corded vac/blower that was a real pain to use. The Bosch is everything I hoped and the battery is compatible with my drill and my strimme
M mother has an ongoing war with leaves. Personally I think it is a bit made going out on a daily basis to rake them up when there will just be more tomorrow until the trees finsih shedding them. Alas, my logic doesn’t help. In the face of her advancing years and insistence on going out daily to rake the leaves despite it hruting her back I bought her this little leaf blower. It is light weight and can be easily stored in an outdoor garden box. My mother is now able to gather all the leaves quickly into a pile with a brisk walk around the yard. The 17mins run time is plenty for her middle sized yard and because she has a bosch hedge trimmer too already she can charge and swap the cross compatible batteries for more run time if necessary.

Bosch ALB 18 LI Cordless Leaf Blowe
Weighs next to nothing and does the job. An excellent tool.
Brilliant Bosch
I bought this for 2 reasons: it’s Bosch so quality is guaranteed, and the battery is interchangeable with other products in the range, so I’ve effectively got myself a spare battery. It said ‘lightweight’ which was essential, and it is… so easy to handle. I’ve shifted more acorns than leaves so far, and I’m very pleased with its performance and battery life.
Good produc
Great product for dry Leaves, not so much for wet ones.
Garden leaf blowe
Comes with battery and charger, powerful, light weight, can use for 25 minutes uniterrupted, very good value for money.
Handlicher kleiner Bläse
Ich kann die schlechten Rezensionen nicht nachvollziehen. Einen Stern? Was soll das?
Man informiert sich doch vorher was man braucht und was man dafr ausgeben mchte.
Ich suchte einen handlichen Laubblser mit dem ich unsere Terrasse und das Pflaster vorm Haus vom fast ganzjhrigen Birkenblttern/samen befreien kann. Mit dem Besen jedes mal eine Qual.
Mit diesem Gert funktioniert das hervorragend und hat zudem auch eine angenehme Lautstrke.
Und seien wir mal ehrlich: Selbst teure Leistungsstarke Motorlaubblser haben ihre Mhe nasses Laub ber eine nasse Wiese zu pusten. Das schafft der kleine Bosch nmlich nicht, und das will er auch gar nicht.
Meine trockenen Birkenbltter blst er hingegen schon ber Gras.
Desweiteren ist er nicht sehr schwer und liegt gut in der Hand.
Im Groen und Ganzen bin ich zufrieden. Und knapp 50,00 (wenn man bereits einen Akku besitzt) gehen vllig in Ordnung.
Good for dry conditions
Not terribly powerful but on dry leaves and soil,it does a good job
Klein aber fein.
Man sollte bei diesem Gert keinen Laubblser erwarten, der schweres und nassen Laub zu einem riesen Haufen blst. Dafr ist er auch nicht gemacht. Er eignet sich eher dafr, Wege und auch fr Besen nicht zugngliche Ecken zu subern und auch Laub vom Heckenschnitt bzw. Reste von der Grasmahd aus Kieswegen zu befrdern, ohne dass man die Steine dann im Gras hat. Die Geschwindigkeit kann man nicht regeln. Dafr ist das Gert leicht und schnell Einsetzbar. Einfach den 18 V Akku rein und schon kann es losgehen. Ich bin zufrieden.
Light weight and easy to use, just don't drop i
It is light weight, easy to use. The battery can last me blowing all the area I wanted. Since there is no wire connected, I can use it at any corner or spot needed. The battery is still strong after one year of use, and shared with other Bosch tools I have.
There was once I dropped it from 60cm height without the battery attached, now it becomes a lot louder than before.
Nice addition to the garden tools
Used this for the first time yesterday. Great little tool lightweight and easy to use. Yes petrol ones are more powerful but the slight reduction in power is massively compensated for by the ease of use. Also part of the home and garden range so I can interchange my batteries between products.
blows everthing away
very easy to operate and effective. Could do with extra power to move wet leaves
Best leaf blowe
Love. This leaf blower
Light and easy to charge
Well done Bosch
Whilst nowhere near as powerful as my corded blower, the Bosch ALB18 Cordless Leaf Blower is certainly fit for my needs.
It is very lightweight, my wife is more than happy to use it and the battery lasts for a good 15 minutes or so. I do have a number of Bosch Cordless 18V tools and 3 batteries, so I can swap around and get nearly an hours worth of use.
Ideal for the lighter jobs such as tidying up after mowing, or the smaller lighter bits of hedge trimming.
It will blow dry leaves around on hard surfaces OK but wet leaves on the lawn need a little more ooomph.
Reasonably well made and for my light usage, I would expect it to last for years.

Price competitive!!
It works well ….could do with being a vac too but overall it’s good for the money!
Very Easy to Use
Very light and easy to use and good battery life. Strong enough for most leaves without sending stones flying if used carefully
Nice and ligh
Nice and light piece of kit. Effective and good battery life.
Brilliant tool
Great tool for day to day tidying around paths and patio. Just what I was looking for.
Very handy tool
Does exactly what I need it to do which is blow fallen leaves off the flower beds onto the lawn before I mow – saves raking them up!
Good tool and ligh
Good, light and easy to use device. It is not very powerful but does ok for light gardening use
Great purchase.
Battery life is brilliant. Lovely and light easy to use and excellent blow power.
Absolut zufrieden. Preis / Leistung = TOP
Ich brauchte einen Blser um den herumgewehten Rasenschnitt nach dem Rasenmhen von den Wegen wieder zurck auf den Rasen zu pusten. Das macht dieses Teil leise und schnell und zur vollsten Zufriedenheit. Auch die Terasse ist damit nach dem Grillen schnell mal wieder Aschefrei.
Wer glaubt, mit diesem Teil wie mit dem lrmenden Benzinblser jedes nasse am Boden klebende Blttchen wegpusten zu knnen, hat auf jeden Fall das falsche Gert gewhlt.
Besonders erwhnenswert finde ich die “Idiotenschaltung”: Jeder kennt diesen einen tumben Nachbarn, die den Motor des Laublsers fr jedes Blttchen aufjaulen lassen und durch das auf und abschwellende Gerusch die ganze Nachbarschaft in den Wahnsinn treiben. Durch eine geschickte elektronische Startverzgerung verhindert der Blser dieses Fehlverhalten des Anwenders. Einen grossen Dank dafr an die Entwickler!
Einziger Wunsch an die Firma Bosch: Ein lngeres Rohr wre gut. Es gibt Menschen, die ber 150 cm Gross sind!
Before I purchased this product I reviewed the comments ( as I normally do) and I would agree with some of the comments that if you’re looking for a leaf blower where you have wet leaves and say a big garden then you would probably need a much stronger product and this may not be the one for you. Having previously used an electric one which broke I wanted a cordless version and came across this blower where I already have a Bosch kit that use the same 1.8 batteries, so purchased the one with batteries not included. I have to say this blower is absolutely perfect for me it comfortable blows the dry leaves and debris where I want it and use it for my patio and front drive also the garden furniture. I would recommend this if your looking for a lightweight to handle and efficient product — Good Value.

This is very compact. The power is good enough - not overly strong, but definitely strong enough for leaves and debris. I was actually looking for a cordless blower vac, but they are relatively expensive and I already had a corded one. The issue with the blower vac is the size and heaviness. They are great in mulching, but dragging them around the garden is a pain - literally. With this compact cordless Bosch blower, you can blow the leaves and debris into one area very quickly and easily, then use a blower vac to mulch it up and dispose. Very happy with the purchase!

Easy useage.
Does exactly what it`s made for, light and easy to use, ideal for small-medium gardens but would recommend getting 2nd battery to make sure it does the job in one go. I would recommend this blower to anyone thinking of getting it.
Good for small clearing jobs
Great for clearing paths of leaves and debris. Not so good for clearing lawns particularly damp leaves. Unfortunately I am sending it back as it started making a weird noise and then stopped working altogether. Luckily its got the years warranty!
Excelle
Really pleased with usefulness of quiet way to blow leaves
Great little leafblowe
It’s only a small leaf blower but powerful enough to move dry or wet leaves. I’ve only got a small garden and front drive but can clear all of it and the leaves from the gravel area on one battery charge. Recharge time is quick too so there is no need for a second battery.
Brilliant purchase at a realistic price
It does exactly what it’s designed to do and it does it very well indeed
Saves the raking!
Very efficient, light and easy to use. A useful tool.
It blows
Good lightweight blower, not hugely powerful but good enough for a reasonable size garden. About 15 minutes run time for 2.0 aH battery
Good Buy
Easy to use. I’ve used it on pathways and driveway and it clears leaves effectively. Battery life seems to be good.
Can use batteries of other Bosch devises
Not used it yet because of weather but sure it will be ok
Excellent Trimme
Has saved me a lot of hassle compared to using a hand hedge trimmer, plus saves money vs. hiring the gardener to do it when only light touch ups are needed.
Well blow me down!
I bought this to replace my bulky electric blower. Whilst not producing anywhere near as much power, it is perfectly adequate for blowing away the leaves and grass clippings for which it’s required. I have two Bosch batteries and a charger from a cordless drill which I use to power the blower. Great bit of kit and would recommend to anyone.
Battery performance
Product is quite powerful and easy to handle. Battery life still to be seen. Hope it will be good.
Handy and lightweigh
Dead handy to use. Battery lasts well. A longer nozzle would avoid bending for someone tall, but that’s being picky.
Excelle
Just what I needed, light but with adequate power and battery length
Fantastic..easy to use
For small gardens excellent. Larger gardens require a larger battery.its very potable, lightweight ,easy to handle.
Great Value
Cleared up the leaves with no problem. Great size and not too heavy. Perfect for the job.
Not the best blow job around
I got this as the battery is interchangeable with the rest of the Bosch kit I have but not impressed with its blowing ability, still it was cheap so now I end up blowing the garden twice as long as I have spare batteries!
Sitt arriv, sitt au boulot et a marche. Cela m’a pris 30 secondes de cliquer l’embout sur l’appareil et y mettre la batterie (attention: non fournie).
En revanche je ne m’attendais pas une telle puissance! Les feuilles sont souffles avec une facilit dingue mais me concernant ce n’tait pas juste des feuilles .. en effet mes chvres aiment bien squatter la terrasse et du coup le matin je dcouvre quelques petits “souvenirs” qu’elles m’ont laisss. Cet appareil souffle le tout de faon trs efficace. Peu cher par rapport ses concurrents, pour moi il les dpasse en qualit, lgeret et rapport qualit/prix. J’adhre .. suis souffle 🙂
Neat & Compac
Very useful. Use it every other day in the summer and battery life a good 20 mins plus on constant use. Listen wont move heavy wet winter leaves but its not made for that. Buy something bigger.
Grea
This is absolutely brilliant for my medium sized garden, saves all the brushing which causes me back problems. Thanksyou
Unfortunately it only briefly spun the motor after a full charge. Amazon as good as they always are got it changed for me. The new one is better but still does it. I looked on the reviews here and found I was not the only one. Are all these really broken or is there something missing? The mistake I might have made was snatching the battery off the charger as soon as I saw the continuous light indicating it was full. I think there is a possibility that the battery should be left a little longer to possibly cool down before use. But there is nothing in the Bosch manual about this so I don’t know for sure yet.
As for it’s operation, its not as powerful as a petrol blower, but is still good. It much lighter than a petrol blower and there is no petrol to mess about with either. Its still powerful enough I think. I see plenty of criticism about these not working well in the wet. I think it really is common sense to go out on a dry day and you will get a much better job.
I am pleased with mine apart from the niggling starting fault which could be an undocumented operator error. If it is, then Bosch really need to include in in their rather basic manual.

Lightweight but capable
Ideal tool for light debris clearance. It’s even my wife’s go to tool to clear leaves and grass.. only criticism is battery only lasts 10 mins , but it re charges fairly quick..
Es un soplador de hojas de 18v con la suficiente potencia para la inmensa mayoria de usos propios de estos aparatos. Hay que tener cuidado de no soltar y apretar el gatillo continuamente, pues despues de soltarlo no vuelve a arrancar hasta que se para del todo el rotor,dando la sensacin que se ha averiado durante un par de segundos.
Lo he comprado para mi madre para que no vaya con la escoba como la vieja bruja. Va de lujo y es ligero eso si la batera dura poco. Comprndolo sin batera y con dos bateras y cargador aparte sale ms rentable y adems con dos bateras ya puedes ir tirando
Will be useful in the Autumn this year - But!
I bought mine after most leaves had fallen and had been gathered up so when mine arrived there wasn’t really much use for it. However I found the odd task for it and it was during these tasks that I occasionally found that mine wouldn’t start when operating the blower switch.
It’s now February, and I used it yesterday for blowing away some light Winter debris from around the house etc and again there was at least one occasion when the blower would not start. I rocked the switch up and down several times, removed and replaced the battery and managed to get it working again and thereafter no further trouble.
I don’t know what to do with my blower though realise it comes with at least a 2 years warranty.
In all other respects it’s adequate although some technique will need to be mastered to eventually gather the leaves in my Garden come this Autumn.

OK, but no variable speed
Product ok, but was not variable speed model as listed. Returned as need variable speed to handle small gravel without blowing it away.
Summary
Very light and easy to use.
Battery lasts for about 40 minutes.
Powerful enough for dry leaves but only about 95% effectiveness in damp conditions and not very effective for fallen moss.
Good for small to medium sized gardens
Very convenient.
Just a blower and not a mulcher.
Small compared to corded and petrol blowers.
Batteries may not be most eco friendly solution
May need to purchase a spare battery
Can use batteries in the hedge trimmer.
Recommended

i have a Boche hedge trimmer to have two batterys which you will need if like me you have a big garde
Ok
Not as powerful as I’d like but I guess it’s good for the money
Highly portable
This is a really good buy as I had just previously bought the Bosch 18 Li drill with 2 batteries and a charger.
I am surprised at how much time I get per battery. My garden is overshadowed by a park’s “conker” trees and
the blower is now in daily use. Great!
J’adore mon souffleur de feuilles. J’ai 2 terrasses paves que je nettoyais au balai et une cour en gravier que je faisais au ramasse feuilles. J’avais achet un souffleur avec un fil, trop lourd et galre avec le fil. Maintenant c’est un plaisir, trs lger, pas embt avec le fil, c’est super, je donne mme un coup dans la vranda. J’avais dj la batterie et le chargeur pour un autre appareil bosh.
Grab it and go ....
Does a good job around the patio – although sometimes you have to go pretty near bigger leaves and acorns to shift them, but for the usual detritis, it shifts it well. I found it had a bit of a reluctant trigger switch, which can be annoying, but it still works all the time. It’s not as noisy as the larger models obviously and thank goodness for that. I’m pleased I can keep my patio neat without too much hassle. I store it in the porch in an umbrella stand – so I can just grab it and go …
Ich habe das Gert ohne Akkus bestellt, da ich schon zwei von einem Bosch Akkuschrauber besitze. Ich hatte nie vor, damit groe Flchen von Laub zu befreien, denn dafr ist er sicherlich zu schwach. Fr mich ist der kleine Laubblser eine groe Hilfe beim Saubermachen im Garten insbesondere in Ecken und Nischen, wo man kaum mit Besen und Handfeger hinkommt. Und da erfllt er voll und ganz und auch ausdauernd seinen Zweck.
Ho circa 700mq di giardino con vialetti vari.Dopo il taglio dell’erba a macchina ero obbligato a pulire i vialetti con la ramazza o con una scopa a setole dure in plastica.Il soffiatore con motore a scoppio, pi volte considerato,era una spesa esagerata per lo scopo.Quello elettrico con cavo di rete lo consideravo improponibile per la sua macchinosit.Avendo gi un trapano avvitatore ed un aspiratore Bosch 18vdc che utilizzano le medesime batterie,ho deciso di acquistarne anche il soffiatore.Va molto bene.Lo uso con batteria da 2.5Ah.
does the job, quality product, only down side ...
does the job,quality product,only down side is length of operation short run!!!
Good
Surprisingly effective but does eat battery. As I have two it didn’t affect me.
I did use it for some other things which I found very useful eg blowing dust from behind radiators or blowing particles ...
Ideal to have for smaller garden jobs obviously not as powerful as more expensive blowers. I did use it for some other things which I found very useful eg blowing dust from behind radiators or blowing particles from hard to get to places so can be used for all sorts of things
Blown away
Very light; not a huge blast of air but effective and handy.
The most useful item in a small garde
The most useful item in a small garden.
Not noisy enough to annoy the neighbours, but powerful enough to do the job.
Nice and small and powerful
Nice and small and powerful. Get the spare battery pack. Not recommended for Huge gardens you will be there all day but it is nice and light.
Five Stars
Excellent product and service – couldn’t ask for anything more!
Just bought this already had the strimmer I was nearly put off by some of the other reviews glad I wasn’t, anyway one of the comments regarding starting up, at first I thought it was faulty but it starts fine but if you try to start it again before it stops then I think there is a safety feature built in probably to stop you from burning the motor out. If you keep the start button depressed it stays on if you then stop it you have to wait until the motor stops only takes seconds it then starts every time no problem

A minor problem.
Good service from MZon after initially losing item. A little hesitant on starting but works well once running. Might consider returning due to this problem.
Wir haben einen ca. 400 qm groen Garten und sind umgeben von Bumen. Jeder kann sich vorstellen was da an Laub anfllt. Zustzlich sind viele Birken dabei, diese kleinen Blten knnen auf einer Fliesen Terrasse richtig nerven.
Natrlich kann man den Bosch Laubblser nicht mit einem Stihl BR 600 Benziner vergleichen, dass muss jedem klar sein.
Fr unseren Garten + Terrasse ist er aber perfekt, angenehm leicht und leise und die Leistung reicht vollkommen aus. Da ich schon mehrer Gerte aus der 18 Volt Klasse besitze, habe ich auch 3 Akkus. Dies wrde ich auch jedem empfehlen, da die Akkulaufzeit doch sehr gering ist mit 10 min.
Insgesamt bin ich aber voll zufrieden und somit 5 Sterne + Klare Kaufempfehlung
Very compact garden blower. I just bought the bare tool as I have a Bosch Drill that uses the same battery and charger as the blower so saved some money there. Works a treat for my needs.The nozzle can be taken off for storage and the battery slides on and off easy enough (my own battery as this is a bare tool). I have not timed how long it lasts on a single charge but I have always managed to complete my garden on one charge so is great for my needs but it states 10 minutes run time in the amazon description. It has a Syneon Chip which appears to be the latest technology. This is a blower and there is no vacuum setting in case anyone thinks there is. I’m very happy with my Bosch blower and all other Bosch tools I have purchased recently. Great gadget for the garden.
It's brilliant for its size & weigh
It’s brilliant for its size & weight. Charges quickly too. Not as powerful as a petrol blower but easy to use in & around tricky areas of the garden or on hard surfaces.

Supplied without battery and charger. Excellent as it uses the same Li-On pack as the hedge trimmer which I already own. Lightweight and easy for the wife to use as long as you don’t expect it to move piles of wet leaves.
Bosch battery powered stuff is excellent. I have had a Li-On powered lawnmower, used regularly on a 200sq.M lawn for nearly eight years and the mower will wear out before the batteries do.
Does what it says on the tin, ie it blows air. Bought the version without a battery because I already had 2. X 1.5ah batteries that came with a Bosch drill. On a full charge you get about 15mins of a moderately fast air stream that shifts dry leaves off hard surfaces with ease. Not so good on grass but I normally ‘hoover’ these up with the lawn mower. Only gripe is the price – 55 seems a lot of money for what is in effect just an electric motor and fan in a plastic shell (no doubt the technical experts would argue that there are all sorts of fancy circuits inside but compared to other electronic appliances this seems a tad expensive)
Five Stars
I am absolutely delighted with the performance of this appliance. It is light and powerful enough for the job.
It is very light. Perfect for small jobs but probably couldn’t clear an entire yard of heavy leaves in the fall. Good for blowing out small leaves and stuff from corners, under the hedge, between rocks, and doing sidewalks.
I have experience with both the 18 volt and 24 volt Li-Ion batteries as I already own a cordless Bosch lawnmower, strimmer, drill and hedgecutter. They are all really good tools and this Bosch leaf blower is a great addition to my gardening equipment.
I was surprised at how small it was (think hand-held vacuum cleaner) and that the 18 volt battery is used to power the blower – this is the same size battery for use in the Bosch strimmer and drill. Would it be powerful enough? Yes. Good grief, yes, safety glasses are definitely required as this blower creates a mini tornado! I could hardly believe how powerful it was and it put a smile on my face as I blasted a huge a pile of leaves from my lawn into a neat pile. It’s a bit like herding sheep but, with a little practice, the slightly angled trunk blows the leaves straight forward. It’s so much fun and easy to use so I went looking for other jobs.
The next session involved cleaning leaves from the pavement and among a fiddly picket fence. This usually takes a good twenty minutes of sweeping with a brush and picking leaves out by hand from the fence. The Bosch ALB did the job in minutes, and more thoroughly. Even the awkward wet leaves on the pavement got whisked up into a pile ready to be bagged.
Sorry to wax so lyrical but I’ve really bonded with this little machine and keep looking for any excuse to use it. Blowing cobwebs and dust from between the panels in a radiator, check. Cleaning the car by opening all the doors and blowing everything out, check. Drying the car after it’s been washed, check. The list could grow!
UPDATE DEC 2015 – Still one of my favourite tools and the battery is going strong.
