Bosch ALB 18 LI

We got this with the hedge trimmers that I love....
We live rural and get lots of bugs on veranda, it does move them.
I use it to blow the grass clipping and leaves back onto lawn from the whipper snipper before mowing with catcher, it works perfectly...
Saves sweeping...
We got two batteries so have no problem with battery life and get around our large home with ease.

I bought this blower after reading many reviews; the down side was known as the battery life and good side was light and very comfortable to use. It's just a matter of picking the tool for your yard size (small plot) and your physical stature (chainsaw-man). Good luck to the chap who got a spare battery thrown in. I recharge following use and have had the blower for over a year with no problems. I may buy a second battery to extend the range. Bosch does need to expand the battery interchange-ability range with the hedger tools.

With a special of an extra battery thrown in, purchased this Bosch blower from Mitre 10 and very happy so far. Light enough to carry around and excellent blowing force. Only down point is that once the trigger is released you cannot immediately use again but must wait about 3-5 seconds for it to activate. It is not a huge issue but it is an irritation. Why this is I don't know.
