As expected Bosch have done it again,easy to use light enough for any female to use and very efficient.
So good are these leaf blowers I’ve actually now just bought my second one of them. The first one I bought four years ago is still going strong. At the time I bought my first one four years ago I also purchased a second battery with it. Now that I’ve bought this second one means I’ve now got a third, brand new battery. Mind you, the first two batteries are still going great. I love these blowers because they’re so light and handy for getting me into tight spaces, like behind our garden shed and behind hedges too. Ok I get about 20 minutes out of each battery before needing to replace it. But I can get a lot of leaves cleared away in those 20 minutes. I’ve also bought myself a Bosch corded/electric blower too for the bigger jobs which is really powerful. By the middle of December all those leaves are gone for another year. Everywhere is clean and tidy, as if not even a single leaf had ever fallen. I also bought the Bosch cordless grass strimmer which uses the very same 36v batteries so happy days. Bosch products have really helped make my life a thousand times easier when it comes to keeping our garden tidy. Even our hedge cutters are now Bosch Cordless too. All purchased from Amazon Prime. I rate this leaf blower very highly as I do my other Bosch products. Excellent service and products from the seller. Very, very pleased with my purchase.
I bought this item with 2 batteries because it is wireless and rechargeable with variable speed knowing that the blowing power (not suction power) is not as strong as the wired product that I have by the same brand. I would recommend this item based on how I use it.
This is NOT covered in the instructions and Bosch Technical did not realise what was happening when I spoke to them but it is a minor thing and should not put you off buying what is a good tool.
My wife is very comfortable using the 2.0 Ah leaf blower. It is less weight, less cumbersome than its corded predecessor which was tiresome, and and handles the leaf litter of a medium/large garden very well.
Well designed and engineered produc
A great piece of kit. Typical Bosch. Good battery life when fully charged. Very good blowing action. Well pleased
This is great; quiet, easy to put together and has good suction power. I’d previously used a Robert Dyas leaf blower/mulcher but this is head and shoulders above in quality. I bought on a Prime Day Deal which had a good saving, but even if it were to break in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to rebuy.
Liked power of unit but slightly heavier than imagined. Overall a high quality tool.
Why I didn’t know about this product before. Must to have.
Simply the bes
Works a treat on our artificial lawn both as a blower and as a vacuum cleaner. Good length of cable and all round good Bosch build. So far so good.
Having researched blowers decided to go for the Bosch cordless leaf blower as I have other products from this manufacturer. The battery alone is selling at 99. It is easy to assemble and charges quickly giving a long time of use. Not only used as a leaf blower but keeps my patio clean. Also handy for starting the charcoal on the BBQ and to keep it going. I also used it to clean my front driveway, very handy product.
Bought for hubby cos he now has long term covid and struggles a bit. He loves this.
Very pleased, plastic pipe was a little difficult to out together, but it has to be a very suggest fit to work. All in all VERY happy with its performance and power.
I mainly use it to blow all the leaves of my artificial grass and it works a treat. Its very powerful and I have to turn it down even for wet leaves!
It would’ve been 5 star for me if it weighed a bit less
A really effective and powerful tool.
Easy to assemble and very effective piece of kit really good and easy to use.
Great machine/toy sucks and blows like a trouper, I’ve even started using it as my vacuum in the house
Living next to a wooded area, falling leaves always meant a lot of time consuming hard work clearing them up. With this blower/vacuum it’s now a quick effortless few minutes. Switching functions can be a bit cumbersome but overall this is a great piece of kit. Should have bought one years ago.
Great product. Does exactly what it says. Although very noisy!
Came overnight, which was handy as we didn’t expect our last one to die!
It is lighter and easier to use, the downside is that it does need to be re-charged and we have a large garden.
So we have to pace ourselves and at our age that is just fine.
Would not suit a commercial gardener, but it is up to moving a large quantity of leaves.
Useful not to have a trailing cable, so we can get onto the front pavement.

All okay. Slight shame that you have to assemble separate parts for blowing and sucking which means I now need to keep spare parts somewhere.
I have found this slightly heavier than i expected and even on the shortest setting, the strap is a bit long for me- i’m 5ft 5inch and 9 stone. The strap actually broke after using 3 times but a friend re-stitched it for me. It is also quickly gets clogged up when leaves are damp. However the machine has coped well with the plethora of small stones and pieces of glass found in my garden, and has made short work of the piles of leaves drifting over the fence from the woods behind my house. I’m hoping for some lovely leaf mould from this next year!
This is the second version that I have owned. The motor on the first one burnt out after 6 years so it didn’t do too bad. Excellent machine which does a great job at hoovering up leaves. It does get a bit heavy when full
Very impressed with the Bosch. I suspect any wet leaves would struggle. Three bags later garden was clean and that was on lowest speed which was about the same level of volume as a Bosch mower. Haven’t used to blow yet but overall design and quality was good. It did the job.
Easy to put together and
Use , no silly wheels on end of suction tube , and great suction , excelle
This blower can clear up leaves, bits of soil, small twiggs and grass off garden machinery. As already stated it does about 25 minutes on full power longer on less power, this is another good Bosch tool.

I was very surprised and delighted when I unboxed this blower with how small and light it was compared to my old petrol blower I bought it to replace. Full power is great and easily moved wet leaves. 1/2 speed ample to blow dry leaves. Have not run it till empty so cannot guarantee it lasts that long but easily ran for 15 minutes. Would highly recommend. Our garden is of moderate size and the blower coped well.

Well made / sturdy, easy to operate, extremely powerful & is surprisingly good at removing the wettest of leaves & the battery life is excellent even on full power.
Couldn’t be more delighted with this purchase.
Pick up all leaves during autumn, the built in grinder means leave are nice and compact and easy to dispose of.

I have a leaf blower already, but it is mains powered, heavy and extremely loud. You would think this means it’s great but it’s not it’s hopeless.
I decided to buy this as I’m renewing all my garden machines.
The batteries are interchangeable so this seemed logical.
My first use I cleared my 14m x 5m wet grass of leaves and 40m squared path/patio. I swapped the 2ah battery for my spare 2ah but the second one still had power left once finished.
Today I managed the same plus 40m squared driveway. The battery was used in a strimmer first then the blower.
Today the grass was dry and just cut which meant less leaves and effort but still an impressive amount done. (Filled 40l bucket)
Yes there may be better ones? But this is quieter than expected, very efficient, fairly light and compact.
Which is every thing my other one wasn’t.
I’m pleased with this. I’m pleased with the strimmer I bought at the same time. I will be buying the lawn mower early next year.
This will also give me another battery too.

Lighter and more powerful than I anticipated. Excellent addition to the garden kit. Does everything I need.
Much Improved over the previous Bosch Leaf Blower I purchased which struggled to last 2 autum seasons work. We will have to see if this one lasts longer!!!
Our driveway has 20mm gravel stones down and this Bosch device is very good at clearing leaves. Doesn’t lift the gravel at all. Our drive is located to 2 tress so a lot of leaves fall this time of year. Powerful vacuum and lifts dry and wet leaves with ease. Can’t comment on the blower option as yet.
This was my first leaf blower/vacuum. I’ve only used the vacuum function and it picks up very well. Including wet leaves.
Light weight leaf blower that is easy to carry, does the job, however battery only lasts for 15 to 20 mins.
We have had a range of ‘cheap’ garden vac’s – and each lasts a few weeks and then either continuously block or, twice, the plastic impeller blades break….
This full metal construction and variable suction work brilliantly. Even used the blower function once (wouldn’t take more than 3-4 of them to list you off the ground……!)
Very happy
Disliked difficulty in set up I found instructions difficult to follow and struggled physically to get parts together.
Excellent so far for blowing grass cuttings and picking up leave off the lawn and driveway.
There is power cut-off sensor if the collection bag nozzle is not fitted fully or becomes loose – did not realise this at first, so when the motor stopped suddenly I feared the worst, but all OK now.
Have used the device extensively since purchase with no other issues- glad I went for the model with the metal blower fan.
Used it several times for mostly dry leaves, power range and suction great. Once initial assembly is done it’s very easy to setup and use. The bag does occasionally slip off but the unit powers off automatically if this happens which is great. Not yet used the blower.
Had an older version of this product which finally gave up the ghost earlier this year. The new one is better. I use it mainly to suck up leaves as I have nowhere to blow them too! The new nozzle shape focuses the suction, it doesn’t need to be on full power at all. The bag redesign allows easier emptying as well.
All in all a great tool for this time of year!
This is the second Bosch leaf vacuum Ive had over 10 years. The previous one had a hole in the bag from a mouse and I couldnt replace the bag. So I got this one and its even better. A lot quieter.
Great for clearing leaves. Not light to carry but very powerful and has a nice big bag so I can do front and back in one go. Highly recommended.
It’s easy to assemble, the power it has is fantastic and could not actually use the full power or it would have blown everything away. I’ve only used the suction part once but was extremely pleased with the result.
WOW. First time I’ve bought a leaf blower and now I’m wishing I’d got one sooner. I’m no expert but I was seriously surprised how powerful this is, felt like it was going to lift the paving stones up. Maybe I should have read assembly instructions more carefully, but I had to go on youtube to find out how it goes together. My own fault.
After reading other reviews I wasn’t sure and Bosch have been disappointing with other tools recently. But after 5 minutes I was set up and hoovering up weeks worth of damp leaves with ease. Easy to use control switch and reasonably light, very strong blow function as well. The lawn looked like it had been hoovered! Only had for a week but based on performance so far I have no regrets.
Good power but stopped working after very limited use,dissapointed
I really like it, my old one was mains powered, weighed a tone and was really unwieldly. This seems to have the same power in a much smaller size!
Picks up leaves very well. Good blowing power and love the variable speeds. Only downside is that it is quite heavy as I am quite small
After coming into age picking up leaves was not an option anymore. I decided on a Bosch device as I never had problems with Bosch utilities be at fir tools, white ware or garden devices.
The assembly, disassembly Takes to get used too but after three four times it is a doddle.
The suction and blowing power is good and satisfactory for most gardens and driveways.
I wish I had bought one of these years ago. It is very light and easy to use and the variable force blower gives a good level of control, when blowing leaves. Ideal for keeping gravel free of leaves, which degarde and spoil the appearance of gravelled areas. I wish the battery life (c. 20 mins) were longer, but otherwise I would highly recommend this item.
Bought to replace my old flymo which broke after 10 years use. Not disappointed as it picks up leaves that are rained into the lawn and flat on the path. Good suction but cannot comment on the blower as I have not used it yet.
Very good product, easy to use, great for leaf collection.
It was very easy to put together and use I had to fiddle with gge strap for the best comfy position once that was sorted it did a great job of picking up the wet a dry leaves
Easy to use and store, power can be adjusted when blowing which is great, will come very handy in next few months for all members of the family!
This is a very good product and I like the variable suction power. However the switch to turn the power on/off and adjust this power is very difficult to manipulate.
What a fantastic item to have for your garden light weight very simple to use Google’s length of time on battery life really delighted with this produc
I had a machine which purported to to suck and blow – I had two replacement but this does everything h it says but is a bit fiddly to change each time
A bit sceptical at first, but after using it a few times I can confirm it’s powerful enough to clear up dry leaves. The on / off / speed switch could be a little better, but that’s the only very minor complaint.
Works great, highly recommended. Very convenient to use and great price.
