Nice and lightweight. Mum is partially disable and struggles with heavy items. She is able to use this. The blower power though could be bit better and more powerful.
After much research decided on this leaf blower as it uses the battery as my Bosch Hedge Trimmer (gives me the option of another battery if job is taking longer than anticipated), it’s lightweight, easy to use and, although nowhere as powerful as my petrol blower, it tidies up following grass cutting, blows dry leaves into a pile and blows all the loose dust and grass off the lawnmower -just what I wanted it to do!
Leaf and debris removal. This is so easy to use and very lightweight compared to our petrol blower.
One thing to be aware of if you have other Bosch 18V garden tools is that it comes with a charger despite it only saying it came with a battery and not mentioning the charger itself. What’s even more annoying is that the combined cost of the naked version without battery or charger and an extra separate battery is more than what this costs. Crazy.
A very good product. Wouldn’t like to be without it now. Easy to use and packaged well! Thank you!
I will be honest, I thought it was lacking some power. It could do with more power. That said it does look good, pretty light and easy to use and charge. Good quality.
Does exactly what I wanted; small, light weight. Great for small jobs, mainly clearing my driveway. I get more than enough time out of a charge for this job.
As others have said the blower is not as powerful as a mains driven device so I use that second one for my back garden and damp leaves.
The length of the blower pipe is also too short, being 6ft 1, it can be strain to use it for garden use
Works, does the job, nice and light.
If you need one .. get this one.
Once the trigger button has been released, you need to wait for a second or two before pressing again otherwise nothing happens – this is expected behavior. The battery is easy to get on and off and the unit feels comfortable to hold as it is weighted for balance.
Like most things, it takes a bit of practice getting accustomed to how best to use it.
Sometimes it feels like herding cats.
Good lightweight blower, a bit more power would have been better, but lasts as long as I need.
It’s not really powerful blower , but it is good for what i needed it for as to have one that had more power, i wanted one that would not blow small stones onto lawn but would the leaves so all good
Great little leaf blower , light and easy to handle. This is my 2nd one. The first one lasted 5 years
Despite being so light this has a really powerful motor. Very efficient for a small garden or driveway. Very happy with this purchase.
easy to use and charge. Clears pine needles easily. No experience with leaves as yet but suspect they will need to be dry.
Bought this to be able to quickly blow leaves from the garden and pathway, without messy cables. Brilliant for the job. Lightweight, easy to use and not too powerful that leaves blow in every direction. The battery has lasted long enough for my use, in a decent size garden. Would recommend.
This is lightweight and handy. 17 mins runtime is fine for me to be able to blow the leaves into piles then rake and scoop into a barrow. It may not be to most powerful but I do have a lot of trees shedding loads of leaves and it has been superb this autumn. Really pleased not to be using my old petrol blower. Be aware that there is no vac option. The battery charges in an hour.
Arrived the next day after ordering, in excellent condition. Not only did it blow away the leaves it blew the snow too. Great product.
Bought this to save money on the gardener as I have so many leaves. I am in my eighties but it is very manageable and not too heavy. Great to us.
Great addition to my Bosch cordless rang of tools. The leaf blower works very efficiently and one battery is enough to clear my 200m2 garden. The blower is light and easy to use.
I have always found Bosch goods well designed and well made. This is no exception. It does its job extremely well, and is lightweight enough for me – an eighty year old – to trundle round the garden happily.
I already had a mains powered Blower but found it very inconvenient to keep dragging a great long cable around our communal drive which is about 70yds by 15yds. The drive gets completely covered in Chestnut leaves at this time of year and needs to be cleared almost daily. This little machine has transformed this onerous task into FUN. The output blast is more than enough to shift the leaves, pine needles and all other debris. The battery was still going strong after clearing the whole drive with lots in reserve. Other reviews have mentioned a starting problem but as the handbook states, not to restart it when switched off but with the fan still running down – it can be restarted after the fan has stopped. A bonus comes from having the battery being interchangeable with my Bosch Hedge Trimmer to give me loads of capacity to do either jobs. I can usually find something to criticise with purchases but in this case there is nothing. Amazing. Money well spent.
good garden tool, does what it says on the box , but disappointed by the deliverer, left on the door step in a street, then says in was, handed to resident? if taken, i would have still have to payed out on it…not pleased, but luckily i came back in time..
I had bought several 18v bosch battery devices so had the batteries and chargers – found this to be a useful little blower for those times when you just need a quick job doing so it’s not worth getting the mains powered blower out. Unbelievably light. Not the most powerful, but adequate for light jobs.
Works well generally.
As other people mention it’s not as effective on damp wet leaves.
I have a few batteries from Bosch drills and hedge trimmers so battery life isn’t really an issue for me.
Picked up on a pretty good deal and have lots of other Bosch cordless tools. It works well, especially if the leaves are dry.

Very easy to use. Not heavy. Can use batteries from other Bosch equipment.
Easy to use, better battery life than expected. Good power and you can use general Bosch battery from compatible tools
Love this. Amazing. Easy to use. Made me start collection of items using same battery.

I love the lightness of this leaf blower. However, it’s a bit hit and miss to get started. When it kicks in, it’s great!
Bought it to clear leaves from around pots and in the drive etc. Its a really useful lightweight blower which saves a lot of effort because it sweeps up leaves into a pile where I can easily scoop them up.
I use it on the patio and saves me using a broom.
Brillant leaf blower, bosh is the best brand out there.
Being the owner of a mini Amazon canopy this has been a revelation. It does what it says and has made my life much easier.
Not the most powerful blower I’ve used, but for a cordless unit it’s enough for a small garden. Blows everything except very wet leaves stuck on the ground.
Biggest pros for this is it is light and cordless, so won’t hesitate to take it out for a very quick tidy up around the garden instead of using a broom.

This blower is more powerful than our last one. Quich to recharge and not to heavy
This was a replacement for an elderly Bosch blower which was showing its age. Very powerful and I liked the new slimline battery – compatible with the old blower but not the old charger.
Ended up buying the 36v one and a petrol one too!
Just love this cordless garden blower! it truly has made my life easier for me I suffer with Rheumatoid and constant sweeping is just to much for my condition so this is a must.
A little pricey but you have to way up the reason you buy this garden blower for me worth the money.
We bought this blower for our Mum for her birthday and she’s delighted with it. Overall, it’s really very light and as she suffers from joint problems, she’s able to use it for the time she wants. I was a bit skeptical when we got it out the box, but once the battery (which had been charged prior to it being sent) was fitted, we gave it a little test run in the garden and it worked very well on blowing the leaves into the corner of the garden where they could be easily collected. Not sure how long the battery will last, but it lasted long enough for the front and back garden.
This was much lighter and quieter than my previous petrol driven blower. I also have a very useful battery operated hedge trimmer which uses the same rechargeable battery.
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 .
Excellent product for blowing away all those leaves that clutter up your driveway and hard-standing. Easy to use and does exactly what you hope for.
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.
My previous blower was very heavy and cumbersome. This one is less strong, but much less hassle. Better with dry stuff.
My husband says it’s awesome also the battery lasts a fair amount of time in our medium to large sized garden.
Simple, light, easy to use with current 18v battery. Poor delivery…left in neighbour’s garden in rain….no card through door….postman found it and brought it to us
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.
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.
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.
For a lightweight blower the power is excellent and battery life in use more than adequate.

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
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.
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.

I have had one of these for years but the battery needed replacing. So I decided to purchase a new one. It appears to be not as powerful as the old one, but it’s ok. The battery lasts a lot longer than the other one , even when it was new.
Very pleased with this so far. Very powerful and light. Not sure of battery use as not used it long enough. Would recommend.
Really simple blower to use. It is very lightweight and clears those leaves away with ease.
I was a little concerned about quality and power after looking at the reviews however, I have been pretty impressed so far.
Really happy with the purchase.
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!
Easy to use, and not too heavy.
Cleaning Patio and Garage in fraction of time.
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.
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.
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!
I bought this as our previous leaf blower and vacuum was heavy and hard to use having to plug in the electricity. This small blower does the trick and the battery life last Lon enough to complete the job. We are very pleased with the leaf blowe
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.
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.
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.
Overall a good product, does what it’s meant to do. Only minor issue is the trigger is temperamental.
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!
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 …

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.
