Flymo PowerVac 3000 3-in-1 Electric Garden Blower Vac, 3000 W

Product Information

As a seasoned expert in the field of garden power tools, I have dedicated over a decade to working with and reviewing a wide variety of lawn mowers. We use all of the blower modes featured to see how effective they are at driving leaves and debris off the lawn or driveway and into piles. In the case of the Flymo PowerVac 3000, you’ll have a 10-metre cable that not only extends to most medium-sized gardens but also gives you a reliable power source.

The Flymo is still a great machine, and is very good value for money and has a higher shredding rating at 16:1.As a vacuum, it mulches leaves and twigs to pack more into the 45 litre bag, while repelling dirt and moisture to keep the collected debris reasonably dry. It’s noisy at full tilt, dishing out around 108dB – not much lower than the average rock concert – but you can reduce it using the variable speed control, with a cruise control function to lock the current speed. First, the conversion from blower to vacuum and back again feels easier and, second, there’s no trailing cable. It means that garden vacuums are surprisingly useful, especially when you consider that many on the market also double as leaf blowers, which means you can easily move waste around as well as dispose of it with one single unit. The fact it only weighs 6kg is a big help, especially if you are working for longer over a larger area.

This tends to make the device more effective in each job, though, so you need to weigh the hassle against the results. The best things about the 322VX are that it’s relatively light, easy to start and ready to be taken all around the largest garden, with no worries about the cord or the battery running out, though filling and maintenance is a hassle. Flymo is known for quality products and this is an affordable and highly versatile blower, vacuum, and mulcher. Fit for domestic use, the Power Vac 3000 has a sizable fan that blows at 310km/h, shifting everything from leaf piles to heavy garden debris.Petrol models give you the best of both worlds, but you will need to keep the (flammable) fuel in a shed or garage and head to the petrol station for a top-up. Suction is created by air rushing through the intake to fill the vacuum – carrying your garden trimmings with it. Having said that, this won’t be a problem if you keep the blower held up throughout, which is a more than reasonable demand for most. It’s also relatively lightweight for a 3000w unit, and I’ve never once felt strain on my piddly arms thanks to the free shoulder strap. In this review, I’ll give you a no-nonsense evaluation of the PowerVac’s performance, practicality, and power — with the promise of zero hot air.
