Eckman 3000W Leaf Blower,vacuum & Shredder

Has anyone used one of these please? Woke up to thousands of leaves this morning, need all the help I can get, but at only about £36 on Amazon I am worried it might not be up to the job?

i have had one in the shed for 30yrs and rarely used it. Its easier to use a lawn rake.

I did think that might be the case johnny, also it might be too heavy for me to use, the trouble is they are mostly all over the drive coming over from massive trees across the road:0( . Last year I saw the council wagon sucking them up so raced home and swept loads onto the road just before he got to us, but only see him about once a year. Thank you for replying :0)

As johnny said, I've got one (second one I've bought - gave the first one away !) in my garage, used it once in 12 months. Too much hassle getting it out, cleaning it and then putting it away for another year.

Thank you both for replying but I have swept the bulk of the leaves up now, filled wheelie bin twice and also 5 charity bags (won't they get a surprise when they collect them ! Lol) so will think again next year, if we don't move first! ;0)
