In response to concerns over the noise of petrol-powered blower vacs, corded electric models are now more powerful than ever, some of them even surpassing their petrol-powered brethren, and with less weight. The biggest drawback to these garden machines is that you're limited to 100 feet from the plug socket, or the motor can be damaged. A few cordless battery-powered blower-only models are also available, but they tend to be heavy and have limited run times.Hand-held blower vacs can be extremely useful for a variety of gardening tasks. Gathering and shredding garden leaves is, of course the most obvious. Gardeners love the vacuum function for making mulch and compost out of grass and leaves. Used this way, these machines can reduce 16 bags of loosely packed leaves to one mulched blower bag. This will make any gardeners life a little easier. Blower vacs are particularly useful for clearing out leaves and debris when space is restricted, such as behind garden sheds, around trees, or other diffcult to reach areas of the garden. With a special extension attachment, they are also handy for "sweeping" out gutters, garages, and carports, not to mention cleaning driveways or decks before sealing them. They're also used to sweep pool decks and even dry off cars and their engines after a wash!
