Product Information

Collection Bag - The Bosch UniversalGardenTidy 3000 has a collection bag with a large 50 litre capacity. Thanks to the high 12:1 shredding ratio, more shredded material fits into the bag, thereby reducing the number of times it needs emptying. The collection bag has handy moisture-repellent dirt deflectors which divert water/debris to the ground. Might seems unfamiliar but is easy to understand. It’s the volume of air expelled from blower’s tube in one minute. Example, if a leaf blower says that it can work at 110 CFM, means the machine will throw 110 cubic feet of air every minute. I ripped up a sheet of newspaper to see what would happen, The Handy took it in its stride and hoovered up all the 10cm x 10cm bits shredding them down to 2-3 cms in size.

And due to moderate weight, you can easily use this vacuum with one hand. Whether its dry leaves or the damp ones, the garden vacuum blower has enough power to draw both of them. The design is different but it still has 3000 watts. I wasn’t keen on the upright design, but it suits gardeners that can’t swing a blower from their shoulder. The suction tube is enormous. It’s a good double the size of other models I’m testing, but it is lightweight and of good quality. This was the only garden vacuum I didn’t have to slam on the floor to fit the tubes inside one another. It took a good 50 turns to get the blower head off, then another 50 to screw on the vacuum head. Don’t give up! It takes time to release. Control switch of the vacuum is the most convenient feature. You only have to slide the switch to select wither vacuum or blower mode.

Summary

Cordless variants offer much more freedom, though the amount of time they can be used for is dependent on the charge in their batteries. Higher amp-hour (ah) batteries will offer the most runtime, while higher voltage machines will provide more power. Talking about the numbers, the maximum vibration you can feel on the handle is 2.194m/s². Vacuum airspeed is 47.5 m/s, and the airflow rate is 14.5 m³/min. On the downside, it was hard to fit the tubes together because one slips inside the other and it’s hard to push them because the plastic is sharp.

Once you receive the GBV345, it needs a little setup that is very easy and takes a few minutes if you will follow the included instructions. After the garden vacuum is ready, you will notice its high quality built.You will find four types of leaves in your garden depending upon the moisture level; dry, damp, wet and soaked. As we know, there is a vast difference between the weight of these leaves. If the leaves are damp, they will not create much of a problem.
