This corded electric leaf blower converts to a leaf vacuum and mulcher. A selector lever on the housing switches between blowing and vacuuming. The blow and vacuum tubes stay fitted, so there is no tube swap between jobs.
In vacuum mode, a metal impeller shreds leaves on the way into the collection bag, at a mulch ratio of 15:1. The bag holds 1.2 bushels, clips under the tube and comes off for emptying. A thumbwheel dial on the handle sets the air speed.
Two wheels at the end of the tube, an angle-adjustable front handle and an adjustable shoulder strap make it easier to handle. It weighs under 8 lb. It has an on/off switch on top of the rear handle. It runs on mains power, so there is no fuel to mix and no battery to charge.
