GRANDMA SHARK 3000W 3 in 1 Leaf Blower, Garden Leaves Vacuum Cleaner, Support for Breaking Leaves and Having a Large Collection Bag (Green)

Why did you choose this product over others?:Great value for money. Appears more powerful than it is. Not too load and it’s great that it mulches what it sucks up

Grandma shark vacuum/blower/shredder.Excellent bit of kit. Lightweight but oh so powerful.Reasonably quiet.So much better than our old flymo one and great value for money.

Excellent product. I have two large oak trees in my garden and the debris is huge with catkins, leaves and acorns falling.This hoover sucks up the catkins really well and has a great blower on it too. I’m only 5ft 2 8 stone and it’s very light, the wheels really help. Very easy to put together.

well made, I had a very similar blower vac (Garden Gear) that lasted 4 yesrs untill I damaged it. This takes the same bag and the tube is the same so I have now got spares. It picks up and blows very well, if you have small gravel stones it will pick those up but I just stop it and they just fall out. Cable is long enough as I use an extension cable anyway. For the money its great and would recommend.

What a fantastic gadget, the force is really strong, multiple uses for this item, no more bending down or using a grabber to retrieve leaves. Quite big and a bit heavy but there is a strap to attach to yourself, so takes the slight strain. Would recommend to garden lovers with trees.

The media could not be loaded. The product arrived quickly with Prime. Opened box, easy to assemble but when plugged in and turned on, it did work BUT was very loud, smelt of burning and sparks flying all inside the motor! Have sent back and received a refund.

When I first looked at this product, the site showed two "versions" one was green, the other grey. They are totally different and so it is not always easy to relate any given review to the relevant itemI purchased the grey version which, on the face of it is a very good machine for the price, being, in effect, two separate machines for the price of one. Configuring it as a blower is dead simple and just requires you to clip the blower tube on to the air outlet and off you go. It functions well, unlike the combined blower/vacuums which have two tubes permanently mounted with a lever to direct air to the relevant pipe. This lever function invariably degrades with time as the air passage gets a build up of crud which prevents the diverter plate moving over its full range, thereby reducing both suction and blowing power. No such problem with this machine.Configuration as a vacuum requires a certain amount of component assembly, which is relatively easy and fitting the suction pipework in place of the blower. This takes a bit of practice. The collection bag clips onto the square outlet pipe on the machine. A hinged cover over the inlet fan is released and moved out of the way and the vacuum pipe assembly fitted in its place. This provides the main advantage of the system. In the event of a blockage the vacuum pipe can be released from the main body of the machine, giving access to both the open end of the pipe (allowing material to be pushed easily back out of thepipe) and also giving access to the impeller/shredder wheel. An electrical interlock switch disconnects the supply to the motor when the impeller is not covered.There is a simple on/off rocker switch and a rotary thumbwheel to control the motor speed.However, I am now on my second machine. The first one died within 30 seconds of me using the speed controller in blower mode, having been run successfully as a vac for about an hour. Its replacement did pretty much the same, although it did last slightly longer in blower mode.I am now about to test the technical support facilities of the supplier. My suspicion is that the speed control, which is most probably electronic rather than mechanical, is faulty. I really would like to have a fully-functioning example of this product as it has some really good features!

Great piece of equipment and very powerful
