Never owned an alternative so can't compare but it definitely does what it says on the can, and better than I expected

Excellent service, price and delivery from Gardenlines, but not so impressed with the construction or power of the Flymo Scirocco 3000w leaf blower / vacuum.

A useful and practical machine. The construction makes clearing the inevitable odd blockage very easy. The two wheels on the front considerably ease the strain on the back when using for long periods.

Just received and used for the first time in the last two days. Worked well on dry leaves more care required on really wet leaves.
Quite heavy as bag becomes full so the strap is essential. Mulches really well.

The Leaf Blowing power is very disappointing. My old Flymo was much more efficient in blowing leafs into neat piles. I think that it is the size of the diameter of the Blow/Vac tube which makes it impossible to obtain a good force of air. Perhaps Flymo should make an attachment to fit on the end of the tube to improve the air speed. The vacuum suction however is good.

Overall good blower works well reasonable suction. Only problem is the suction tube does not lock into position which is annoying as you need to relengthen it every few minutes.

Delivered fast. Chose this one as I didn't want a petrol and not disappointed.

Overall a good machine, and unlike some I have seen having sufficient power to do the job. Much better than the one it replaced, with some neat design features: easy to clear blockages, easy to detach bag for emptying. But poor assembly instructions, and why can't the blower tube be retracted for more convenient storage?

I have used the product only once so far. Assembly was fairly easy, although the layout of the assembly instructions/picture references I found a bit complicated to follow. I wanted a blow vac with power and this once certainly has that feature, the only one I could find at this wattage. The nozzle is is not too wide and can be inserted into nooks and crannies not possible with my previous machine. Access to clean the impellor and remove blockages is an excellent feature, not seen before (this is my 4th blow vac). So far so really excellent.

Easy to put together. Blows and vacs well. Quite light. Easy to unblock. Creates a load of leaf crumbs ideal for mulching. Would recommend it.

The Flymo Scirrocco was chosen to replace an older, rather badly designed flymo model, which has been in use for several years. On examination the Flymo Scirrocco had none of the design faults of the earler model we had in use and it would seem that much greater care has been taken with the Scirrocco. a 4 rating has been given only because the Scirrocco has only been in our hands fo a few days. Kind regards. E. Allen.

Powerful, practical to use, excellent

As yet I have not actually used the machine - it is too early in the year. However it was easy to put together and light enough to be comfortable in use. I switched it on and it ran easily and powefully. Should you wish a further review in November I will be happy to oblige.

I have used a petrol blower/vac for the best part of twenty years but the Scirrocco 3000W Blow Vac is so quiet and much easier to use and empty. I wish I had had one years ago. A wonderful tool.
14/07/2009
Robust plastic, good ergonomic design. Solidly built and powerful motor. Extremely good value.
14/07/2009
I previously owned Flymo Gardenvac 2500 which although it had a less powerful motor blew better. The sucking action seems stronger and the wheel makes it easier to use even on gravel.The blockage clearance access is definitely better and the collection bag seems to be easier to empty and relocate. Not a 5 because of the drop in blowing efficiency.
02/07/2009
Blow vac is good, a little heavy if using for any length of time. Nozzle could do with an extension piece perhaps to narrow th intake for more concentrated working. Excellent delivery service, prompt and good comunication
27/06/2009
Excellent product vacuams and blows as described much lighter than a previous vacuam by a different maker I had and very easy to handle. The front wheel makes a big difference. With the power of the machine it has picked up wet and dry leaves easily and for a medium to large garden I would have thought it is ideal. The despatch and service from this company was superb, next day delivery as promised and a phone call the day of purchase to confirm it was being dealt with immediately it is a pity other companies do not follow the same route for service.

MY DAD SEEMS VERY HAPPY WITH HIS NEW TOY! SPEEDY DELIVERY FROM GARDENLINES - MEANT HE HAD TO WAIT A WEEK BEFORE HE COULD HAVE HIS BIRTHDAY PRESENT! THANKS

The product is a bit fiddly to assemble, but seems to work absolutely fine
11/05/2009
Ordered one day and delivered the next and a phone call to check the order beforehand. Good customer service. Not tried it out properly yet but had a quick go and seemed fine.
24/03/2009
everything that we expected. this was for mother and she found it light to manage.
16/03/2009
Excellent product. I am very, very satisfied.
27/01/2009
I bought this for my Mum, and it seems to be very good. It's reasonably heavy but not unmanagable, she is very pleased with it. I also wanted to say what a great web site/service Garden lines is, I was very impressed.

The product works fine. Easy to set up and use, although it may be a little heavy for some. The blower function was very good. The suction option works fine but the tube needs to be placed very close to the leaves being picked up. And if the leaves are very soggy, they can clog the machine quite quickly. The leaves were shredded very efficiently into a much smaller volume - ideal for spreading onto the garden as a mulch.
06/12/2008
Excellent value and very good quality. Works extremely efficiently. Thank you very much for the prompt delivery.
02/12/2008
I found product extremely easy to assemble. It is very functional and you can switch from vacuum to blower by just pressing a switch. Also the price is good therefore the product is good value for money. I have used it only once ( due to bad weather) and although leaves were quite wet it did not have a problem in collecting them.
12/11/2008
The Scirrocco will pick up leaves and small debris as the description suggests and shred it into small pieces, which suits me perfectly. I have not used the blower function. It seems to be robust and not too difficult to assemble. In my opinion good value for money.
04/10/2008
Great machine and would recomend to anyone. Does what it states on the tin and more.
