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

Love it use it to lit coal for bbq. Lit fire in seconds and comes with battery and charger

I brought this about 4 months ago and it’s ok but could be better. The switch sticks so pressure needs to be applied and the battery life isn’t great. Could do with a spare battery and better switch

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.
