With the tumbling leaves a good leaf blower with plenty of power is an essential to keep lawns and paths leaf free and safe and here are three machines from leading manufacturers with plenty of power to do the job.
The first comes from Einhell and it is a powerful hand-held machine, the Einhell BG-PL 26/1 Petrol Garden Vacuum / Leaf Blower currently on special offer.
German engineered, this vac/blower is one of the few machines which let you switch from blowing to collecting at the flick of a lever – with many machines it is necessary to swop tubes and fit a collection bag.
This one has a shredder fan to cut the leaves to one tenth their original size before packing them in to the 55 litre collecting bag.
The shredded material can then be dumped on the compost heap or can be used straight from the bag to mulch around plants in the shrubberies to protect against winter frosts and give them a good start next spring.
This comes with a carrying strap and this combined with a front handle makes it easy to use for longer periods.
It also has a wheel kit which lets you use the machine much as you would a household vacuum cleaner. And this useful kit, which normally costs £12.95 is completely free as is the oil and mixing bottle.
It costs £139.95, £80 less than the maker’s recommended retail price. There is a two year guarantee from the makers and free next working day delivery.

This blast will not only shift leaves but pine cones acorns and small twigs as well.

For such a powerful machine this offers great value for money.
It has all the accessories like the vac tube included in the price of £199.95. The recommended retail price is £299.95.
Delivery is free the next working day and there is a two year warranty.
