The time for the big autumn clear-up is nearly here and it’s not only the leaves which needed to be shifted but all the other debris which may have accumulated over the summer on patios and paths and around pools and tennis courts.
And that’s where the Billy Goat LB351 ‘Little Billy’ Lawn Vacuum, currently on special offer, comes into its own.
With a 20 in sweeping width and Briggs & Stratton engine it has been designed to hoover up leaves from lawns into the 105 litre collection bag with ease.
But it is equally at home working on hard surfaces and saves hours of time and hard work with a stiff broom.
It can also work picking up debris from flower beds and borders and, amazingly, it can give gravel drives a good clean without picking up the gravel. It weighs 61 lb and has oversized wheels for greater manoeuvrability.
There is a 12 month domestic warranty, six months for commercial use, and the collection bag has a six month guarantee, three months for commercial use.
And optional hose kit costs £129, over £30 less than the maker’s recommended price.
Replacement bags cost £79.95 and turf bags, for non dusty conditions, are also £79.95.
Delivery is free the next working day and it the Little Billy costs £529 compared with the manufacturer’s recommended price of £660.
