Remarkably powerful blower with funnelled air current which is able to blast between crevices as well as clear leaves.
Well balanced motor which is held at arm’s length with ease.
Unlike the more typical Flymos, the device cannot be converted from blow to suck with the use of a lever. The suction tube and collecting
bag can only be fitted when the blowing unit has been disconnected. I wasn’t aware of this but I have got used to it. It means that the operations
have to be carried out in two stages.
Great product and a reasonable price. It is very efficient in every respect. Changing from blowing to sucking is easy but takes a little time. I didn’t need an expensive blower because we only have a small garden. I do not like using corded tools but I could not justify the price of a decent cordless. This item is a replacement for one which I received and which failed after 10 minutes. Fortunately Amazon’s replacement process was very quick and the replacement item was delivered in a couple of days. All in all I am very pleased.
This was a replacement for a garden vac/ blower that I’d had for 20+ years that had finally failed. This is a good product well made and easy to operate. Changing from blower to vac is a bit fiddly but can’t really fault the product.
I found this very good suctions good blowing is very good would recommend strength in the bag with a needle and cotton value for money very good didn’t expect it to be
I have a huge sycamore tree so this is needed! I find it slightly heavy but very manageable!
Powerful leaf blower, haven’t tried the vacuum setting. The leaf blower doesn’t really have a variable speed so it’s tough to manage. The item weighs a lot so the shoulder strap is useful.
ied cheaper leaf blowers/vacuums all failed after a certain time ,this flymo blower is of much superior quality and is very easy to use ,would recommend highly
Easy to use, light and shreds leaves to almost nothing
Collection bag is rubbish already had to stitch up three holes only had it for one year replacement bag nearly the price of a new vacuum apart from that very good
This is my first leaf collector / mulcher and tried it out yesterday collecting the leaves from 3 trees to put on the compost heap. It was lightweight and easy to use. It’s pretty powerful it chopped up the odd twig on the leaf piles and has good safety cut outs. It only clogged when picking up wet leaves on the dry ones it worked a treat and was fun to use!
It does not cope with the stalks of Chestnut and Oak trees, or anything too long and fibrous the blade “cog” jams. It is not a 2 minute job to switch from blow to suck, you have to go back to the shed for the other parts and take it to bits. My last model was just a leaver to change…much easier. The bag is a fluffy fabric that makes the dried leaves stick. The zip is more like you would get on the back of a dress than a piece of garden machinery. It has to be hung up to empty. I would not buy again.
If your looking for a vac and also blower all in one this is the deal. Great performance and easy to use. A top tip is to buy the roller wheel to go with it which takes a lot of the weight of your back and shoulders when using it. Does it work ? heck yes. Definitely value for money and it mulches as it goes so a lot of leaves and items take up a tiny amount of space in the bag provided
This is so easy to assemble and a breeze to use
It’s very noisy and creates dust from dry ground but is good at picking up leaves etc
It’s actually pretty good BUT..
Changing it from suck to blow is time consuming you have to unscrew the black pipe chamber to fit the other one on.
Would I buy it again ?
Yes however if they did one at 20 that was more simple to change between setting would I pay it ?
Heck yes !!
It doesn’t like sucking up freshly cut grass.
Decent lightweight unit woth good suction but suction pipe too long and end should be slanted/bevelled so it can be held at a practical, comfortable, angled height about the waist. I have to lift to chest height so end of pipe achieves good suction over/above debris.
Really good blower. Strong, easy to use, small, light and easy to click together and apart.
Great blower and hoover. Hoovers up all the cut grass. Just what we needed…
Easy to put back as a blower and vice versa
Easy to assemble easy to empty leaves works brilliantly so pleased with i
Very satisfied, does what it says.
Handy after strimming grass. Picks up well.
vac side of this is a bit disappointing.. doesn’t pick up all leaves , shreds them great
blower is very powerful
The product is very good on the blower excellent, connecting the bag is a bit of a pain but overal very good
Excellent piece of kit better than thought it would have been.
My last one worked hard for many years, not sure this one will. My only criticism is I fear the zip on the bag will not last long, as it jams up with debris and is bit faffy.
i ordered this product andreceived it on 5th of febuer21 and it has just broken down and will not go. this was bought from amazon.
Nice bit of kit light to use very powerful well pleased highly recommend it worth ever penny
I sued this in the autumn when the leaves were falling. It picks up well and did not get jammed at all. I don’t think I would risk using it when the leaves are wet as I am sure it would jam up.
The blower has a good strength to it.
Easy to use but can start to feel a little heavy after a bit- this would be no problem for you stronger guys!
Pleased with the power. Packaged securely and dispatched quickly. Hubby very pleased.
Good value for the money and does an ok job
I got this to pick up leaf debris from my artificial grass.
It is extremely easy to assemble and get it working. A few clicks here and there and everything is in place. The instruction manual is clear and simple, and there really isn’t much to figure out. I had it out of the box and turned on in around 5 minutes. The cable is far longer than most people could need.
The suction is great, it picks up everything from leaves to small twigs, but doesn’t try to suck up the artificial grass.
Its great that it shreds everything that it sucks up, turning all debris in to confetti pieces. This makes it really easy to empty in to the garden waste bin.
I have only two gripes.
Firstly, a minor concern with the quality of the bag that everything is collected in to. It seemed to be poorly stitched together, with large amount of fraying around the edges. But nothing is ripped or coming undone, so for now it just seems like a cosmetic issue.
The larger issue is with the weight. Why does this not come with wheels? I know you can buy separately, but I can’t imagine anyone not needing them included from the start. I only have a tiny 25 square metre lawn, and I am a well built young guy, but after one session with this I felt like I had done a full workout. Definitely not suitable without wheels for most people.

he leaves at the front of our property are rely thick in the Autumn and the vac was the answer to cleaning it up
I purchased two less expensive power vacs previously, they have now been binned, I’m over the moon with my flymo
Very powerful machine, heavy to use, was a bit fiddly to assemble, but does a good job. Shoulder harness included but not tried to use it yet.
Excellent blower let the ride on pick up the leave great for tiding up the place. Buy again.
Easy to use and assemble, would be easier to use if suction nozzle had been finish with a bit of an angle.
Overall it’s not a bad product but it is extremely noisy and it is very difficult to disassemble when converting from suction to blowing; the main grey tube is almost welded tight to the motor unit and it requires two people to unscrew it. No a happy situation.
Good piece of kit. I have had other known brands but this one beats them.
Easy to use, would recommend.
Not particularly easy to put together! the manual isn’t clear !! In operation the blower is fairly good but swapping to suction, the unit becomes more cumbersome , but with a little practise you get used to it as the mulching of the leaves is worth the hassle in the end . The clips that attach the bag are too small and fiddly , however it gets the job done when you get used to i
Suction power is just enough not to suck up any pebbles only leaves and small twigs. The blower is very powerful and ideal for blowing the leaves in one area to be collected or mulched with the suction tool. Changing from blower to suction or visa-versa is a little fiddly until you get used to it. The mulcher reduces the leaves to mulch considerably.
Love the blowing, suction and shredding
Fan clogs up regularly involving dismantling and cleaning which is fiddling – major drawback
Don’t like having to change parts to do blowing or sucking
Use it for leaf collecting
I haven’t used the blower on this item as yet but found that the suction for picking up leaves was not that great even when turned up to full power. It does its job but I found that because it’s so noisy especially on high power you are rushing and want to turn it off. I don’t know if it’s that heavy or not. I don’t find it too bad, but possibly wheels might have been the answer. Would I recommend buying this Flymo. For the price Yes, but I think there are better ones out there. Of course that means paying a little extra.
This is so powerful that it could do with a half power switch. Blasts even wet leaves.
Quite fiddly changing the pipe to the suction pipe which takes about five minutes but it sucked up dry leave instantly.
Too heavy and end not too user friendly. Not good at picking up.
I would have liked a better suction as I have decking also maybe as I am a wrinkly a smaller one but other wise it is ok
I bought this product to use as a blower when renovating a patio and extracting little bits of rubble and stones from the gaps between the slabs after I’d used an angle grinder. It was absolutely brilliant. Incredibly powerful and possibly lethal in the wrong hands! So, having finished my project I thought I’d see how it performs as a garden vacuum. It was so pathetically ‘unpowerful’ I really thought I’d assembled it wrong. How can something so powerful as a blower be so poor in reverse? After reading various reviews I have come to the conclusion it is indeed not much good as a vacuum. So, if its a blower you’re after, get it! It is amazing. But if a vacuum is your primary need forget it. Easier to rake up leaves etc by hand..
Great product for the price and made my life a LOT easier! Would recommend
Not as heavy as others which is a bonus wearing the strap can be used one handed. Picks up well didn’t clog up. Powerful machine.
I have used the Powervac to tidy up dead leaves etc around the garden and flower beds. Performance was very satisfactory.
I found it a little heavy as I am a pensioner so have to use it a little at a time. I use it to collect up plant rubbish.
Easy to use and change from hoover to blow in a matter of minutes. Good power.
Wow. I underestimated the power of this leaf blower. It’s incredible. I bought it for the blower function to blow away all the grass and grass stuck on and beneath my lawn mower after use. It was able to help blower out all the grass in all the hard to reach crevices beneath ride -on mower so this will definitely reduce risk of rust etc and help maintain the equipment. Not able to comment on the mulcher function as I don’t plan to ever use this.
I had the older model which enabled you to quickly flick a switch to go from blow to suction mode…this however takes time to switch parts etc.
I have used the product once since buying.Purchased as a replacement for previous Flymo garden vac.I am generally pleased with the overall performance.
Excellent, blower/sucker and lightweight so easy to use. No problems with purchase so very happy.
suction is reasonable
blowing power is impressive
simple to use and assemble parts
excellent value for money
novelty can wear off… but a useful tool to keep garden tidy
Really happy with this garden blower/vac. Very powerful, makes light work of clearing up garden and decking. Very easy to change from blower to vacuum. Would definitely recommend.
Top Quality & Service. However it is a bit bigger than what it looks on picture.
Great value for money, very powerful and sucks all garden leaves in minutes. It’s quiet noisy but given its suction power.
It’s really good. Cuts up the leaves as well as blow them all together.
Good strong me nine plenty of suction with a wide tube to pick up the biggest leafs
Bag attachment seems flimsy but no probs to date
A more robust zip on the bag would improve ease of emptying
Good value for money
Arrived promptly. Good product for the price range. Good bRAND.
Sucks up ok but not in small areas as pipes are too wide, so could do with a narrow one too
I bought this in the Black Friday sale so cost-wise it was a bargain. As others have already said this does not have a variable control as advertised. That aside I found it easy to assemble and swap between blowing and suction. Both suction and blowing is very powerful. Taking advice from other reviewers about the cost of a replacement bag I thoroughly clean the bag after use and hang it up in my garage out of the way of any mice!
What a great bit of kit….used it as soon as it came….really pleased I’ve got it….it will come in handy….
An excellent machine very efficient at sucking up leaves. Perhaps rather more noise than I had anticipated.
A really good product which does the job very well. It has more ‘blow’ than ‘suck’ but I guess that’s just a feature designed into it to stop it picking up pebbles, garden ornaments, small dogs etc and digesting them! It comes with a shoulder strap to help support its weight – be warned it’s not for the elderly or frail as it’s quite a chunky bit of kit. So far I’m pretty impressed but I would stress that it’s very early days as yet so can’t comment on its long-term durability.

It works very well but does NOT have a variable speed option. The model with a V after the 3000 has a switchable speed option, which is not really variable and appears not to be available. I have a pea beach drive and sucking up the stones would ruin the impeller quickly. This is made of nylon rather than metal. To get round this I will have to blow the leaves etc onto grass before sucking it into the bag, which should be larger than it is. My old Flymo was fixed speed too but had a slower speed to avoid gravel pick up. It could also be switched between blow and suck with a simple switch. That is progess for you!

This is a great bit of kit – it blows and sucks hard and is easy to convert from one to the other. Great value for money. Thank you Flymo
Difficult to switch between suction and blow off
Suction is not the best. Blowing leaves works really well
Pretty good garden vacuum reasonably light – the changeover from suction to blower is probably a little bit tedious but I do not tend to use the blower anyway so it is not too much of an issue.
A VERY GOOD PRODUCT I LIKE THE WAY IT MULCHES THE LEAVES AND THEREFORE ALLOWS THE USER LONGER BEFORE EMPTYING
Perfect for blowing and sucking up the rubbish that blows around my newly laid synthetic grass.
Easy to use. What you see is what you ge
Delivered in less than 24hrs of ordering. Excellent product, unfortunately the ones we ordered do not have the Vicloon logo on them ?
I only use it as a blower, with so many leaves over so big an area there would be no benefit in trying to vac them up. The machine is every bit as good as the gardening magazines say it is, I wish I had bought it sooner. powerful and not over heavy to hand hold for a thirty minute session between breaks. It is loud but worth the inconvenience when you see the results it gives.
An excellent machine, howver, the debris bag is made of poor material
Very powerful blower that takes a little getting used to. But does the job brilliantly. The lead is a decent length and the blower is light enough together with a shoulder strap. The vacuum/shredder is excellent although the fan cover is a bit fiddly to interchange. Bought at a sale price so excellent value.
Did exactly what I was hoping it would do – make clearing leaves from my garden so much easier and a lot faster!
I use it as a Vac, not a blower. It collects up large Magnolia leaves without problem and I find that wet leaves can also be collected provided they are not compressed onto the ground or amongst plants.
Took a bit of practice but worth it. Great tool for garden tidy up
I have only been able to use this garden powervac once as at this time of year there is a lot of damp weather, so I am still having to pick up the leaves with an old fashioned garden rake on the garden and brush them up on the paths. It is also very heavy and cumbersome to use when there is ideal weather conditions for it.
Pros. Powerful. Chews up leaves so the bag fills up only slowly. Not too heavy.
Cons. Converting to use as a blower is a drag. Works best when vacuum is immediately above the leaves, as opposed to at an angle, so could be a problem for the smaller person. Quite noisy so earplugs a must.
Excellent, does everything it says on the boxfirst class garden hoove
This can both blow and suck up leaves. The blower is really powerful and I tend to use this more than anything. It’s great, especially for getting leaves off the decking, even wet leaves. It even blasts the debris away from between the decking boards.
The leaf sucker is ok, but just not as good as an older version of the flymo leaf sucker I used to have (which didn’t blow leaves, it just sucked). This one does, however, mulch the leaves, which the old one didn’t.
I hear it’s a good idea to make sure mice don’t get to the (very expensive to replace) cloth collection bag. I keep mine in a mouse-proof container. Let’s hope they don’t chew the cord. There is plenty of cord and mine also came with an extension cable, so no problems getting to all parts of the garden.

does the job , bit fiddly changing from sucker to blower , but OK overall .
Works well, does what I want it to do therefore perfectly satisfied.
Much higher airflow than other places electric blowers I’ve used. Recommended blower if a two stroke blower is not what you want.
Replaces similar model which I had worn out after many years. Good to see the improvements made making it easier to access the fan. Still an excellent choice of leaf clearer and shredder. Have never bothered with the blower function. Too powerful and sends the devris everywhere. Perhaps a “sucker” machine only at a reduced price?
I have just had new false grass fitted and this is brilliant for hoovering falling leaves etc. Very powerful too.
This is a great purchase ,very easy to use and a great help in the garden.
This is my first leaf blower and after doing a fair amount of research I decided on this model. I felt it hit the right balance between price and performance and I’m not disappointed.
After cutting back our wayward hedges, I’m always shocked at just how much clearing up there is. After picking up the larger pieces by hand I was able to blow the remaining cuttings VERY quickly into a manageable pile. It made such light work of it I’m actually looking forward to using it again.
The vacuum worked well enough and I was able to successfully deal with a large proportion of the leaves that were left. It grinds them into a fine powder and makes quite a mess – so think twice before using it in your best clothes and shoes. No tuxedos!
I’m happy to recommend this as it both sucks and blows superbly.
Excellent. Arrived on time and does exactly what we expected.
Powerful machine, just a bit “fidly” when changing from vac to blower. Price for replacement bag needs to be a lot cheaper.
Just got one (50) and spent about 45 mins in two sessions with it in both blow and suck modes and it seems good, so far, to nicely shred leaves. Can take about five mins to switch and part-dismantle to go between the blowing and sucking. Best to get all your blowing done completely before going over to vacuuming. Time consuming and a bit awkward to change over. Also about 40 secs to detach full bag from its hooks/clips and then another 40-60 secs to put emptied bag back on. Beware sucking up small stones etc to stop plastic shredding blades being damaged/shredded! Blower is powerful. Likely to wake neighbours and frighten horses.
Assembling it all from box and packing when first bought took about 20-30 mins and needs close attention to understand assembly guide booklet. Could be easy to go wrong if you’re too hasty/of a simple mind. Easy to register one year warranty online.
I thought I was buying a two-in-one vacuum and blower but you have to change the tubes from one action to the other. However, very efficient.
