  I recommend not bothering .. nothing personal but they are an environmental disaster and a noise nuisance in my opinion.

  My parents bought a garden vac. They found that sweeping the leaves up with a broom was actually less hard work, and quicker.

  Apologies if my post was unclear.  I was looking for any recommendations ( based on experience ) re a good garden vac

  Hi Philippa, though I no longer subscribe to the Which Magazine, when I need such advice, I pop into my local Library, where I can read the magazine and access the Which website for free.  If your local Library offers this service, perhaps it would be worth considering?

  As I don't own a garden vac, I cannot offer my personal choice. Sorry!

  Many thanks @Sam 37  I'll have a look at that.  Which are usually pretty trustworthy

  So do I.  Let's hope we don't lose any more of our Libraries.
