Bought leaf blower/vacuum/ shredder 18 months ago direct from Eckman (Order OR1115506), but not reviewed till now as I wanted to thoroughly test it out over a time, and last autumn was unusually dry here so not a good test. Was £49.99 then, £89.99 now - certainly wouldn't buy it for that as it really doesn't do the job. Site/ordering was fine and delivery good; no problems with machine as such - all parts received and seems pretty robust. They say it's powerful - certainly is; too powerful - picks up stones and soil (I see current version has a gravel filter so maybe that would stop much of this, though not the soil and smaller stuff - see below) It is hopeless with wet leaves (and how often do you get sufficient dry days in autumn/winter for them to dry out? It does say don't vacuum damp/wet materials in the instructions (how useless is that?), but didn't say that in the advert) - they too easily clog, even if you cut out the unnecessary vanes which narrow the opening to the collection bag. And you can't easily get at the places they clog except by taking the blower tube off, which they say you should do from time to time but one of screws is, as booklet says, one-way!! Even then you can't properly reach all the places that clog. The 'mulching turbine' (i.e. shredder) does work really well in reducing volume, but it throws small shredded bits of leaf/soil/whatever to the housing around it a couple of cm away. I had to dig out a large amount of compacted material from this when it was clear the motor was having to work too hard, and the only way to do it is to take the main body apart. The design of this doesn't seem to have changed, so it's hardly user friendly.
