Before, the traditional way to get rid of fallen leaves was to retrieve your rake from the shed, but fortunately technology has created a more convenient tool ---- in the form of a leaf vacuum.  Due to its consistent advancements, people are now enjoying a much functional form of the power leaf vacuum which is already combined with a leaf blower. Leaf blower vacuums have the combination of both the blowing and vacuuming feature. Clearing, gathering and accumulating fallen leaves can be a tedious task especially when you have to tend to a large area. The introduction of this revolutionized two-in-one equipment will significantly help to ease up your clearing and cleaning load. The great thing about leaf blower vacuums is that all the collected leaves will directly be accumulated in the attached bag, making your clearing task faster and easier. In addition, you can easily convert them from blowing to vacuuming mode.

Leaf Blower Types

Today, leaf vacuum blowers are widely available in large retail stores. You can practically choose from three main types, which are the hand-held, push, and riding vacuum. The type and model that you need would greatly depend on the size of the area you have to work on. If you have to deal with tight and narrow spaces, then a hand-held leaf blower vacuum would be more beneficial. While the walk behind push-type leaf vacuum is the best option for those who need to clear a much larger area. For areas with huge amount of leaves (i.e. state parks, spacious school lawns) to clear, the ride-on commercial leaf vacuum is highly recommended. Here is a look at the different types:

  • Hand-held models – These are the ideal choices for smaller areas. They don’t have a large motor and do not also provide powerful suction. They are best used when leaves have just freshly fallen since they tend to loss their efficiency when vacuuming wet and pack down leaves. They are also perfect for cleaning the patio, driveways and pool decks.
  • Walk-behind push type models – These are the common forms of leaf vacuums that work very much similar with a mower. As it goes over a pile of fallen leaves, they automatically mulches and shreds them as well. All the shredded and mulched leaves will then be directed to its on board bag which can be easily dumped after finishing the task.
  • Ride-on models – They are efficient for large woodsy yards wherein a great amount of leaves need to be cleared and gathered. Ride-on gas leaf vacuum models resemble like a ride-on mower but the only difference is that they have a vacuum instead of a blade. They are the best choice for spacious lawns since they cover larger areas and have strong motors.


Newer models of leaf blower vacuums include additional features like the leaf vacuum shredder. They are also easier to maneuver, which puts an end to the dreary task of collecting garden debris. If you want additional convenience, it would be more beneficial for you to look for the latest models of leaf blower vacuums.


Tips For Purchasing Leaf Blower Vacuums

First, you have to know how leaf vacuums are measured. Having this information is important before selecting a particular leaf blower vacuum model. Some ways to indicate a machine’s power is through cubic feet per minute (cfm) or miles per hour (mph). Power of a commercial leaf vacuum typically is measured in terms of how quickly air emits from the vacuum.

Take note of the leaf blower’s mulching ratio. This figure indicates the extent to which leaves get compressed while being mulched. The first number in the ratio is the number of bushels of leaves that the machine mulches, and the second number indicates the number of bushels it chops them into. In addition, you have to determine the amount of work you would be doing. The different types of leaf vacuum blowers are designed according to the size of the area they will be used for.


You also have to check its vacuum capacity. Ask how much leaves the attached bag will be able to accommodate. Moreover, try to check if it has enough vacuum power to capture the debris in your garden. Lastly, always try to test a leaf blower prior to buying one. This will ensure that they are in good form and functioning properly.  


When selecting a leaf blower vacuum, you have to consider several issues. These tips will help to prevent you from being blown away when considering your seemingly endless choices!
