BRILLIANT 👍👍👍👍
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.
Fit for purpose
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.
A great piece of kit with only one very slight drawback. Its minor and once you understand what is happening it’s not an issue. When you fit the battery, it slides on easy and there is a click the battery locks into place and you can only remove it with the battery release button but the blower will not run!! The battery has to be pushed forward as far as it can go then all is fine.
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.
I love this leaf blower. We previously had a 2 in 1 vacuum and leaf blower (different brand) that was ridiculously heavy and a pain to use so I ended up doing it manually. This leaf blower is light and easy to use. I will be buying another battery (our garden is probably medium sized), sometimes it runs out and I have to finish the job using a broom or rake.
Good decisio
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
Works very well
A great piece of kit. Typical Bosch. Good battery life when fully charged. Very good blowing action. Well pleased
Great bit of ki
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.
Well made unit with powerful blow/suck functions
Liked power of unit but slightly heavier than imagined. Overall a high quality tool.
Exceeded my expectations
Why I didn’t know about this product before. Must to have.
Simply the bes
Good value
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.
Powerful blower with large 36V battery
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.
Hubby loves i
Bought for hubby cos he now has long term covid and struggles a bit. He loves this.
Bosch quality A+++++
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.
Brilliant piece of ki
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!
Good equipme
It would’ve been 5 star for me if it weighed a bit less
Great powerful garden vacuum and blowe
A really effective and powerful tool.
Easy to assemble and very effective piece of kit really good and easy to use.
What a sucke
Great machine/toy sucks and blows like a trouper, I’ve even started using it as my vacuum in the house
Good produc
So, vacuuming the leaves is not the most exciting job on the planet but this tool is excellent. Makes it almost enjoyable, like some sort of mission, even the neighbours have seen me and know I’m smashing it! The bonus being all the shredded leaves go back on the flower beds, I feel like David Attenborough will pop round and just say “legend”
Powerful piece of kit...does the job.
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.
Bosch in a Box …
This promises to be a nice bit of kit. Bought as a present for my brother but feeling confident it will be well received. Nicely boxed, all intact, no doubt I’ll be buying another one soon for myself. I want one !
Keeps my garden leaf free.
This is an amazing product. Once assembled it bursts into action, and an entire garden’s leaves are consumed and stored in the bag, having been chopped so finely, they make excellent compost. Certainly would recommend this product to others.
Great but noisy
Great product. Does exactly what it says. Although very noisy!
Lightweight and easy to use
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 good.
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.
does the job
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!
Bosch 3000
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
Best I’ve ever had
This is a fabulous piece of kit. When blowing, I sometimes have to turn to a lower setting to keep things under control! Suction is also great. Feels relatively light when wearing the harness in either mode. Quick and easy to change from one mode to the other. Also great at clearing sawdust from my shed.
Very impressed
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 use
Easy to put together and
Use , no silly wheels on end of suction tube , and great suction , excelle
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.

Better than I expected!
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.

"It maybe only a Leaf blower but it is excellent at what it does"!
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.
Nice and powerful
Pick up all leaves during autumn, the built in grinder means leave are nice and compact and easy to dispose of.

Works well. Battery life good.
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.

Lightweight and Powerful
Lighter and more powerful than I anticipated. Excellent addition to the garden kit. Does everything I need.
Gravel drive with leaves
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.
New Bosch Leafblowe
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!!!
Pretty Good
This was my first leaf blower/vacuum. I’ve only used the vacuum function and it picks up very well. Including wet leaves.
Bosh leaf blowe
Light weight leaf blower that is easy to carry, does the job, however battery only lasts for 15 to 20 mins.
You get what you pay for....
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
It works fine
Excellent leaf blower which is just starting it’s second Autumn. Apart from a largish drive and quite a few yards of brick paths which is easy work for this device to clear, we also have a lot of shingle in places, and using this blower on shingle areas works beautifully, much better than trying to use a wire rake or brush. It’s very powerful on full, only need 1 or 2 setting. It’s not quite so brilliant on grass particularly if damp or wet, it works but actually prefer a wire rake. It scrunches DRY leaves nicely.
Poor instructions for set up I really struggled had to watch video on You Tube!
Disliked difficulty in set up I found instructions difficult to follow and struggled physically to get parts together.
Excellent piece of ki
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.
Quick to setup and use, reasonably quiet.
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.
Great at sucking up the autumn leaves
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!
Great.
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.
Really pleased this is very good
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.
No regrets
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.
Suctio
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.
It does what it says on the box 👍
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.
Packed up after using 4 times on small garde
Good power but stopped working after very limited use,dissapointed
Brilliant bit of ki
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!
Very good device
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.
Powerful, lightweight and variable blower strength make this an ideal piece of ki
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.
Great suction but a bit heavy
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
Great little tool for the autum
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.
Very good product, easy to use, great for leaf collection.
Did what it said it would do very pleased
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
Handy garden tool
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!
Good product but difficult to adjust power switch
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.
Brilliant tool
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
Success!!!
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
It’s powerful enough to get the job done of clearing up dry leaves
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.
Perfec
Works great, highly recommended. Very convenient to use and great price.
Perfect for the garde
Had to replace my old one and didn’t consider reviewing another type. Excellent for the jobs in the garden especially at this time of the year. Very cost effective.
Purchased September 2021.
Jessie Buttery
A must with trees
Cutting back shrubs and leaves makes life much easier with this very lightweight garden leaf blowe
Lightweigh
Great for the price. I bought two to save changing from blower to vacuum.
Very good blowe
Nice electrical blower. Blows pretty strong. The battery is great and lasts for a good while. It’s an expensive battery, but once you have one you can buy other tools from the same range much cheaper without battery and use a single battery between them.
For an 1800 motor this is powerful
Very impressive, low setting will pick up most leaves, and very sturdy, a little heavy but strap helps.
Powerful but heavy
The main positive is that it is very powerful with adjustable suction power. It is heavy but the strap helps. A bit complicated to assemble. To go from suction to blower requires quite a bit of changing of parts.
A very large bag. It is surprisingly tricky getting all the leaves out of the bag. There are a few places where they get trapped.
For the ability to pick up almost everything, I would recommend it.
Powerful tool
This replaces my last one that suddenly stopped working and couldn’t be repaired.
It works fine but the collection bag has a tie on the zip that trails on the ground. Because I’m not very tall I keep stepping on it and it opens the bag and covers me in dust. I’m going to have to remove the tie. I didn’t have this problem with my old vacuum.
Decent bit of ki
Really does a great job, easy to use and set up
Works well for my large garden, keeps it tidy, easily.
Bought this as sick and tired of petrol 2 strokes lasting a couple of years before carb problems.
I had an early Flymo one which did the trick for years but sold it when I bought my first 2 stroke. Big mistake.
This Bosch seems to work well and the mulching metal blade is reassuring. Only moan is that the cable is a bit too short, rigid and not forgiving. That of course could be rectified by changing. Maybe when needed.
good tool
does the job very well and is quiet. Two negative points – it is heavy though otherwise comfortable to hold, and changing from blower to vac is a bit awkward – the srew retainers have long threads and it seem to take a long time to slacken and tighten them.. That said I would buy it again.
Ease of use and confidence in brand
Have always used Flymo garden vacs before.The first lasted 15 years or more with no problems but the later models are heavier and the collecting bags much more difficult to get back on. I have had the motors burn out on two in under 5 years the last in under 18 months. So having used many other Bosch products and never had problems that were not quickly resolved by their customer service team (Flymo appear to have outsourced customer service to a third party which I found impossible to get hold of!) I bought this item. So far so good. Lighter, quieter, easier to use and an extended guarantee if registered with Bosch that unlike with Flymo I have confidence will be honoured if needed.
Does the job
Good product but bigger than expected so if you are short like the wife you will find it uncomfortable to use
Very good
Lighter and smaller than the petrol one I use this for the smaller jobs around the garden. Much better than the 18v which is tiny
Good suctio
This replaces an older Bosch model and I am very impressed with its suction power which I hadn’t realised was variable so a plus there. Easy to assemble although I haven’t tried the blower as I already have a petrol leaf blower so won’t need to use the one on this model.
We bought this upgraded more power model just to make sure that it was easier to pick up wet leaves as some people have said that the lower model doesn’t do it very well. This is really powerful and has blown everything off of our patio that includes all of the bits of leaf and berries that have fallen off of the shrubs.
We are really pleased with it and wish we had bought it sooner – well actually later because it was in the prime day sale but still glad we got it.
Highly recommended.

For a small battery operated machine I didnt expect much in terms of sheer power. However this has met and surpassed all my expectations so lets put down what it can do and cannot do.
Its good at clearing paths and moving freshly cut grass after cutting the lawn or clearing up after hedger cutting and its good at herding fallen leaves wet or dry and small tree debris after storms etc.. Its not good at moving leaf litter which has fallen and consolodated into the ground. It will move it but its not powerfull enough to move large quantities of it. If you want to do stuff like that buy a petrol leaf blower as you will be disappointed by any electric version. More power makes the battery bigger and heavier or your dragging a cable.
Satisfied. Powerful and good battery life
Very satisfied. After reading many reviews and comparing many products, have to say very satisfied and this product exceeded expectations. Apart from weight and manoeuvrability, main concerns were power and battery life. Admittedly, our garden is on the small side, but this product does the job just fine and works up to 3 time’s before needing a recharge.

Whish had a battery operated one initially but then I trusted the ratings and I went for it. Great item could not wish more.
