What To Look For in a Garden Vacuum
The best garden vacuum will offer 3-in-1 functionality, allowing you to vacuum, blow, and mulch. However, if that’s a bit more complicated than what you’re after, machines with a vacuum-only function are still great for garden tidying.
One tip to bear in mind, if you choose a multifunctional machine, is that it will be less time consuming if you don’t have to switch nozzles to change between vacuum and blow functions. However, separate blow/vacuum nozzles can improve the accuracy of each function.
If you have a small to medium garden (approx. 250 – 750 m²) then a 1800 W mid-power model will provide enough power to clear up the leaves. In a large garden (upwards of 750 m²) 3000 W will be more suitable.
Weight is another factor to think about. A heavy vacuum of around 5 kg can get heavy after a prolonged period. Make sure the blower has wheels, or some form of harness, to help manage the weight.
Out of the products I tested, my top pick is the Bosch Universal Garden Tidy. It’s a 3-in-1 vacuum, leaf blower and mulcher, with separate heads for blowing and vacuuming to improve efficacy. It can vacuum several leaves at a time (which is more than can be said for some machines!) and doesn’t stumble over small twigs either.
