Mac Allister MBV18-Li-E Cordless 18V Garden blower

On my second blower and love its lightweight design and effectiveness. BUT - replaced first one due to jammed switch, now exactly the same problem.with replacement after 3 months use! Cannot push switch with thumb - needs gentle tap with a hammer. So frustrating- would have given 5 stars and glowing report otherwise!!!

Just bought one of these today from B&Q
We have a deck, lots of pots with willow and ash trees hanging over so Autumn means hours with a brush
No lawn so cannot comment on how it works on wet grass for example
1 hour on charge and although it was raining had to give it a try
Wet leaves no problem, it easily blew the leaves from around and behind all of the pots and from the top of the pots
Our deck is approx 12 m x 4 m and there was a good covering of leaves all over it
The battery lasted 12 minutes by that time I was just finishing the last sq meter
I have other Mac Alistair tools, which have lasted well, I do look after them, cleaned and oiled and in the shed when used so hopefully this will be as good

I brought this item after wanting a lighter blower to get in and around the bushes, which my large vac / blower can not do.
The blower is very good and does the job well. The only down side is the short battery life of about 20 mins of constant use. I am looking into getting a second battery to extend the use of the blower.

Bought this blower having previously had a useless in every way Blower/Vac. I liked the idea of cordless as my Macallister cordless hedge trimmer has been excellent with long use from one charge. This blower is very effective but only has a short battery life. Fortunately I have the compatible one from the hedge trimmer so I get 20 minutes running time in total. I think you would have to buy another battery if you did not already have one. At the price though it represents good value.

Don’t how the reviewer got it to vac. It doesn’t!

Brought this today, after contemplating due to mixed reviews! It was easy to put together. I used it as a vacuum on my Astro turf and it was great. All sorted in no time. It even spat the stones out that I accidentally sucked up!
