BUENA POTENCIA Y FACIL DE USAR, TENGO APROXIMADAMENTE UN MES DE UTILIZARLO, SU PRECIO ES BASTANTE RAZONABLE PARA LAS CARACTERISTICAS DEL PRODUCTO

So yeah, I purchased a house that gets millions of leaves per season, yet I have no trees. How fun is that? Raking and bagging isn’t all that enjoyable so I thought about picking up a leaf sucker primarily for the areas that the leaves start to build up. The yard itself I typically mower over them to mulch them up, but I needed something for areas that again, the leaves pile up and block walkways or entries.
A buddy allowed me to try another brand leaf sucker (that Amazon sells, but I won’t mention which) and while that one has an awesome switch to go from sucking to blowing, the collecting bag was a nightmare. Having the bag over your shoulder while you’re trying to maneuver a sucker and once the bag starts to fill and add weight, it becomes a nightmare to control. You’re fighting the bag strap to stay on your shoulder while you’re swinging the sucker back and forth to collect leaves. I immediately thought, there has to be a better design to the bag, something that can simply stay on your back like a backpack. This is where this particular product comes in that I researched.
So it arrived fast and I immediately put it together to use it. I have to say, assembly was quick and simple and the bag has a love it/hate it design. I love obviously that it just straps onto your back like a backpack. Simply put, there is probably no easier design than that as far as walking and collecting. It takes all the effort of fighting a strap off the table and lets you focus on sucking those leaves up. And let me tell you, it has great sucking power. I’ve had no issues with pulling leaves up (dry that is) and don’t need to sway back and forth as much as my buddies. The handle design feels great in hand. Think of yourself as Arnie in Terminator 2 Judgement Day. Except instead of scaring off the cops with a minigun, you’re going to war with those pesky leaves that don’t seem to disappear all season. That’s the feeling this will give you once you grip up.
The impeller is plastic which I was initially worried about, but can tell you, it’s super hard plastic. The kind of plastic that you could hurt yourself on, lol. Very durable and unless you’re sucking down on rocks all day, I wouldn’t worry about it wearing down anytime soon.
Now for the cons. I’ve had it clog a couple times. Not by the impeller, but within the tube that the leaves come up through. A simple push gets them through and you don’t really need to worry about your hand going into the impeller because it is well before where the impeller is even located. If you’re afraid, use a stick and push them.
The bag… I love that it’s a backpack, but the opening is a love and hate design. It has no zipper but rather a clip. The edges of the bag are a plastic blade that bends so you essentially bend the blade which folds the opening into a small slit. You can then clip it to hold it in place. So here is where the pro and con is regarding the bag opening design. The pro is that you can EASILY open this up and let all the mulch fall right into a bag to recycle. The bad, sometimes mulch will get through the slit because it’s not truly closed 100%. It’s basically a plastic bended fold that needs to remain folded to maintain being closed. Super hard to explain, but you’d understand the second you saw it. So while I’m walking, I’ll notice mulch flying out the back occasionally. I also recommend you never turn it on in a garage unless you want to sweep your floors 😉
The last con is changing it from sucking to blowing requires you to basically disassemble and reassemble it from one to the other. While I only bought this for sucking, I knew before hand this so I didn’t care. If you expect to use both options, I’m not sure this would be the best one for you. My buddies version is actually better in that aspect because it simply has a switch that changes it from one to the other.
So that’s my review. I’m reviewing this as a sucker because I’ve never used it for blowing and don’t intend to. My review on sucking has mostly been positive with the little cons that I posted that I don’t truly think should prevent your decision from buying it. I’m giving it a 4 star because of those cons, but would probably buy it again if something ever happened to it. It is effective for what it does and that’s ultimately what I was looking for.

Darn, I took a video for this with you but I lost it because I forgot to post the review in the autumn when I was working on my yard. This makes cleaning up the leaves so much easier! I did use it both as a vacuum and blower for leaves, both seemed to work pretty well, suction particularly was generally good unless leaves were wet and stuck on something. I love that there is a turbo function for the really hard to get places because I always had this problem where leaves would get caught in this thorny bush that I have, and I would get tons of prickles in my hands trying to get them out. No more of that! I think I used it more for suction for blowing because I also wanted to get the mulch to put in a part of my backyard. No issues there So long as you keep the suction part clear and not blocked… After a while, stuff can get stuck in there and you have to clear it by hand, obviously when you turn it off. It chopped the leaves into nice little bits. The backpack style was nice, did get heavy if you didnt empty it regularly, but that’s the case for any leaf bag and I was happier to wear it then carry it around. Unlike other leaf vacuums, I see that it’s less likely to get a hole in any week point because they have that rolling closure, similar to a dry bag… That’s a great idea. I don’t really use the different attachments, but I find that the main attachments work fine for me. I’m a small woman and had no problems maneuvering this… made me feel confident that I could clear my front and backyard of leaves without help from others!

RequerÃa una trituradora de hojas y una sopladora para poder limpiar varios metros cuadrados con 5 árboles de más de 7 metros de altura ( una pesadilla de hojas) .
Pros:
En cuanto a trituradora para hojas normales funciona excelente, tiene buen poder de succión.
La idea de la mochila, ergonómicamente es genial, te permite cargar sin problemas las hojas sin importar el peso
Aunque las aspas son plásticas no và daño después de succionar y hacer picadillo hojas y ramas secas para llenar una bolsa de 50 kilos.
La opción de sopladora funciona excelente para juntar rápidamente las hojas en un solo sitio, fué una bendición el usarla.
Contras:
Si requieres triturar ramas grandes no es la mejor opción; a pesar de que si puede triturar ramas de menos de 1 cm de grosor sin problemas , no es fácil aspirar ramas, otro punto malo es que le cuesta succionar las hojas de más de 17 cm ,aunque ya que las absorbe las tritura cómo mantequilla.
Fuera de esas limitantes el equipo funciona muy bien .
***Es necesaria usar cubrebocas y tapones de oÃdos al usarlo ya que es un equipo que produce muchÃsimo ruido y algo de polvo.
Nota: Tiene sensores de seguridad en los conectores, si algo esta mal conectado no va a funcionar el equipo.
Yo no podÃa encenderlo la primera ocasión que lo armé, hasta pensé enviarlo a garantÃa recién lo saqué de la caja. Después volvà a desconectar todo y conectarlo y funcionó perfectamente, quedé 🤡 con mi esposa por lo quisquilloso.
En general puedo decir que funciona y funciona muy bien , excelente producto y calidad

I purchased this because raking up leaves is annoying as heck and we are surrounded by oaks. I specifically wanted the vacuum function, as I already have a leaf blower. I have not used the blowing function yet but I would think it works great, at the very least so much easier for my weak arms to carry than our gasoline one. As for the vacuum, I went through about 5 bags of leaves on three separate occasions and it worked flawlessly. It handles little twigs and all the leaves fine, it will get a little clogged if you have a big pile of pine needles but that is to be expected. I did go through some wet leaves and it handled it great even without turbo mode, but again I’d suggest not doing all wet leaves as it can be a mess to empty the bag- I tried to do half and half mix if I had some wet ones to deal with and emptying was easy. I did have the motor cut out on my very last bag, and after inspection it seems I knocked the attachment out of alignment just a smidge, so make sure you have the bag and vacuum tubing attached securely or it won’t work. P.S. I also received a bad one first, this review is regarding the replacement. The first one would not turn on at all, and after testing outlets and extensions it appears the motor was just faulty, and sure enough the replacement worked easy peasy with the same set up. Returning was easy, however I waited for the replacement to come so I could swap the motors out as you cannot really de-semble all the parts once put together, making it impossible to fit back in the box- so keep that in mind if it happens to you.
Overall seems to be the best product for the pricepoint on the market, and is lightweight and easy to maneuver. The extension cord can become a little cumbersome, just make sure to hold it or secure it while using the blower/vacuum or it is easy to detach mid-use.

Cumple con la relación precio…aunque le falta potencia al Aspiradora.

Lo que me impresionó es la fuerza con la que aspira las hojas y basuras, buena calidad en los materiales. Lo malo es que el sistema par cambiar de modo soplador a aspiradora está un poco complicado al principio, ocupas introducir un desarmador para presionar el botón para destrabar el adaptador, creo que se puede mejorar ese diseño, igual la vibración del motor hace que la primera vez te duelan los brazos como si hubieras hecho ejercicio

A mi no me sirvió tanto ya que no absorbió bien las hojas del pino que se quedan embarradas en el pasto y hay que comprar una larga extensión para usarla además las instrucciones para soplar y aspirar no son claras pero creo en jardines más pequeños puede funcionar y hojas más grandes si las aspira bien en lo personal no me sirvió mucho pero es buena
