                                                              Leaf Blower
A leaf blower is a gas or electric powered vacuum that impels air out of a nozzle to clear up fallen leaves and other yard debris.Some models have a feature which allows the blower to be reversed,which can pull the leaves into a shredder and an attached bag.

                                                              Lawn Vacuum
If Its the dreaded time to clear up after Autumn,lawn vacuums will cut the job down to size in no time at all.Apart from leaves,they clean up many other debris such as grass,sticks and wood chips.Lawn vacuums eliminate the need for raking,arrogating and enhance the beauty of your lawn or yard.There are many different types of lawn vacuums available to appease your needs.They are:
                                                   1.Hand-held Lawn Vacuum
A Hand-held lawn vacuum ha s the option of either being gas powered or electric powered.Their small size contributes to their numerous benefits.Being relatively small and lightweight,they are very portable and can be easily stored.They are generally cheaper than other vacuums and are well suited for smaller,harder to reach areas,such as in or around bushes.
                                                         2.Push Vacuum
Although they are more costly and bulkier than the smaller hand-held vacuum,they are more effective when it comes to large areas.Push vacuums are gas powered and can cover a large amount of ground in a relatively short amount of time.They have attachment hoses that allows their owner to reach in hard places as well.They are much more powerful than the hand-held vacuums and is an ideal choice for those who possess moderate to large-sized yards.
                                                        3.Riding Vacuum
Why walk when you can drive!
Riding vacuums are the most expensive type of vacuums avaiable in the market today.If you have a very large yard or parcels of land to maintain than this is the ideal vacuum for you.They are designed to serve many different purposes from collecting debris to cutting grass in no time at all.Aside from this,parents can use the riding vacuum to engage their children in this chore and this can serve as an unique parent-children bonding session! Most riding vacuums can be attached to a riding lawn mower and then pulled behing the mower.The gas-powered engine of riding vacuums create the suction that vacuums the yard debris through the undercarriage of the lawn mower as it drives across.

There are many additional features included with all of these lawn vacuums that should be noted.Many of the vacuums have a reverse feature enabled in them that allows the user to eject the debris from the attached bag,back out into a garbage bag or a disposal container.This feature is very useful for someone that needs to move a large amount of debris.Some of the larger vacuums has a shredding and chipping feature which breaks apart sticks and leaves,allowing them to fit into the bags more more efficiently and conveniently.

Which garden vacuum is right for you?
The best way to decide is to try out different models yourself and observe what suits your cleaning abilities and physical abilities.The heavier the vacuum,the more the difficulty in transferring it from level to level of your home.It is also a good idea to consider warranty periods as well as proximity to service centres before deciding on a brand.Many stores have set up demonstration areas for consumers to do side by side comparisons;try them all so the vacuum you obtain is right for you
