Einhell GE-CL 36 Li E One-Touch Vac to Blower Operation, Tool Only (Batteries and Charger Not Included)

Heavy and the safety mechanism is not good.

I really like the blower/vac. It's easy to assemble and use. It lasts about 30-45 min on max. I bought another set of the 3.0 batteries to continue to use it. It does get a little heavy after a while but it has a strap to hang from your shoulders and if you let it rest on it's wheels it helps. It will suck up leaves but not the marble chips so that's awesome. It's hard to use on outdoor carpet for vacuum since it's powerful enough to get stuck to it. I love that you can use it anywhere since it's cordless. The bag holds a lot and mulches everything well. The one con is it doesn't have a trigger lock and you have to keep squeezing the trigger which is semi hard to do. As a female user it does tire my hands and I have to keep switching hands to hold the trigger down.

I bought this in May 2021. I need a replacement collection bag and learned Einhell no longer has a US presence and parts have to come from Gremany or Canada. The Canada operation can't be bothered returning my call to buy one and its €39 euros shipping cost to buy from Germany. I'm stuck with a good machine that I can't use.11/2022: I downgrading down to 2 stars from 3 because the batteries can't hold a charge and they are only 1 year old. I charged them full 2 weeks ago while I searched for an aftermarket collection bag to remedy the aforementioned issue. While trying out the bag, it ran for 5 minutes before have no charge stopping my leaf collection efforts again while I wait for 2 batteries to charge again. So much for German engineering.

Creo que para ser un aparato tan grande no lleno mis expectativas. Le cuesta demasiado mover hojas pequeñas de eucalipto. Decepciona en el soplado pero lo hace bien en el aspirado. Si quiere una aspiradora de hojas esta es.

Hidden in the fine print -> TWO ($ 69 each) batteries are required to operate this blower/vacuum.
