What are the benefits of a leaf vacuum mulcher or leaf blower?
Picking up dead leaves is usually the least popular gardening activity. In autumn, many garden owners wear themselves out with the rake, only to start afresh a few days later. Make this thankless task easier by buying a leaf vacuum mulcher or a leaf blower and save time and energy in the garden. Many models are equipped with an integrated shredder to immediately shred dead leaves.

What is the difference between a leaf vacuum and a leaf blower?
Both a leaf vacuum mulcher and a leaf blower get rid of leaves in no time, so garden maintenance becomes child's play, especially in large areas. The difference lies in the way of clearing the leaves:
With a leaf vacuum mulcher, the leaves are sucked into the device and stored in a collection box.
With a leaf blower, you can move the leaves to a chosen location and then pick them up yourself by hand. Modern "leaf blower vacuum" devices combine both functions advantageously. The leaves are then gathered in heaps, then vacuumed, and crushed.
A leaf vacuum mulcher or leaf blower? Or both?
Would you like some help clearing away dead leaves but are not sure if a vacuum mulcher or leaf blower is best for your needs? No problem: with our high-quality blower vacuums, you can combine both. The Fuxtec FX-LBS126 4-in-1 leaf vacuum mulcher, for example, combines the three functions of vacuum, blower, and shredder.
What are the possible uses of a leaf vacuum mulcher and a leaf blower?
A leaf vacuum mulcher and a thermal blower are used to rid not only lawns and flowerbeds of dead leaves but also terraces and paths while saving your back and your energy.
If your land or garden directly overlooks freely accessible public streets or land, the owners are under a legal obligation to clear dead leaves.
Even your garden will thank you for freeing the lawn of leaves with a vacuum or blower. Under the carpet of rotting leaves, the lawn lacks oxygen and begins to rot. A vacuum mulcher or leaf blower is also capable of getting rid of small branches and thorns. The rest of the year, you can use the device to collect grass clippings and weeds.
4 Decision Aids for Buying a Leaf Blower/Vacuum
Before buying a new garden tool for the fall, we advise you to do your research. By asking yourself the right questions beforehand, you avoid purchasing errors, and you avoid disappointment and false hopes. Is a battery blower an option for you? Do you need an integrated grinder? Here are four questions to ask yourself to help you choose your vacuum or leaf blower.
When is it worth using a backpack leaf blower?
A leaf blower or backpack leaf vacuum is particularly worthwhile if you want to treat large areas. Indeed, for courtyards, parking lots, or large green spaces, you will have to wear the device for long periods of time. After a while, you may feel uncomfortable due to the weight and vibration of the device in operation. In these situations, a vacuum/blower with a carrying backpack is more than desirable. Our FX-LB133T backpack blower can help you get the jobs you want to be done in your garden or driveways.
What is the use of the grinder function?
An integrated shredder is useful for composting: shredded, the collected leaves compost more easily and are therefore more beneficial for the compost heap. Our FX-LBS126P model offers this grinder function. The test of this 3in1 thermal vacuum blower (blower, vacuum mulcher, grinder) by the reference site leafmulcherhq showed its practicality and high efficiency.
Thermal, electric, or battery-powered leaf vacuum?
Battery-powered leaf vacuums are particularly quiet and environmentally friendly, but their battery life is shorter. Also, battery blowers are more suitable for small areas. Corded electric vacuum mulchers are more powerful than battery-powered vacuum mulchers and have unlimited battery life. However, the electric cable reduces flexibility, especially on large surfaces. Petrol vacuum mulchers provide more freedom of movement and superior suction performance, but they come with an unpleasant smell of gasoline.
What size is ideal for the drip tray?
In addition to the blowing speed, the suction performance, and the motor power, the size of the collection box is also decisive. The general rule: the larger the collection box, the more leaf litter the vacuum mulcher can handle at once. 40-liter capacity is standard for quality appliances
