I read many reviews for the 3-in-1 3000w leaf blower vacuum & shredder, and it appeared to have good reviews, so I purchased mine. It arrived in packaging which looked like it had travelled around the world and been opened more than once before - corners bashed and multiple layers of packaging tape holding it all together. On opening the packaging all appeared to be in order initially, and as I unpacked the various parts which were neatly packed, I noticed that the clip that secures the 'Leaf Catcher' bag to the unit was broken rendering and the machine useless - disappointing to say the least - NOT good... I continued to unpack the remaining items, and these were AOK. I plugged in the Leaf Blower to check it was working and switched the power socket 'ON' and proceeded to switch 'ON' the Leaf Blower.... an immediate "BANG!!!" and a flash of flame was the response - NOT good.... On examining the products various accompanying parts in detail I observed the flimsy and very poor quality of these, surmising that 'This item was not fit to last very long, one or 2 uses at best - if it had worked. The parts were a poor fitting, bits that should not rattle 'Rattled' - and it did not even 'look the part' Alas, this was returned, and I paid some extra money to buy a robustly made Black & Decker product, similar to the one which had recently failed after 20 years of hard use and abuse. Fortunately, a full refund was made soon after returning the faulty goods, without any quibble.
