The blv 2401 manual says 230 240 VOLTS. Can the blv2401 be used with normal household current?
3 answers
If you are in Australia .. yes.
all power tools have a upper and lower voltage range for voltage spikes and drop
You know very well that no products would be imported/passed/sold if they do not meet the Australian Standards.
Yes normal Australian household current is 230-240 volts. This model can only be used with household electricity current. It is not a battery type vacuum/blower.
My ozito 3 in 1 seems not to be sucking very well was ok before what's going on

Just to keep it simple, I would make sure that the small lever is still pointing at vacuum. Also check the rotary dial is on setting 6 and remove the bag to check for any obvious blockage, then turn it on vacuum and check if the air is entering the large tube, and exiting under the device. I would also move the switch to blower to see if that still works. Based on those actions proving negative, you may have to contact them for warranty, but I think the help desk would have you perform these checks anyway. Good luck.
Hi. If you think the suction is not what it used to be and the red lever is pointed in the correct slot (direction), then you have a blockage inside, somewhere near the turbine. Blockages usually occur when large leaves cannot pass through the shredder and other leaves being sucked in continue to block it. At other times it may happen when too many leaves get sucked in all at once and then they slam against the shredder and tend to block the flow of air. To free the blockage, switch it off, try and give it a shake. If it doesn't work, then remove the black bag and look into the port where the bag is attached. Turn the red lever to suction and blow compressed air into the port (hole) so that air flows out of the suction pipe and not the blowing pipe (smaller pipe below). If that doesn't work then there is one last attempt before disassembly. Use a bamboo cane longer than the suction pipe, disconnect the power and then insert the came into the suction pipe and force it by pushing the cane several times up and down a few inches all around inside, so that the tip of the cane punches on the jammed leaves and other debris, ripping or breaking them until you can feel the turbine by a solid 'thud' sound. Pull the cane out and connect the power, switch it on without the bag, the stuck leaves or rubbish should be coming out. If not, you have two other choices, take the Ozito back to where you purchased it from and have it cleaned, or, You can do your bit yourself by grabbing a screw driver, remove the the suction or blower tube/s look inside with a torch, you should be able to see what the drama is all about. Try and free the jammed leaves or dirt, with the same cane, or a shorter one, then run it without reassembling the tube/s. If the suction has improved, then reassembly the tubes and you should be back to square one. Cheers.
thanks Michael I will try your suggestions
cheers

My machine blows weakly, what do I check?
1 answer
Hi Tony, I would remove the bag, check that the air intake isn't blocked, ensure that the lever on the side is on blower and not vac, and make sure that the thumb wheel is turned from 1 to 6, and that there is an effect. Failing all of that, use ur 3 year replacement warranty.

Has anyone worked out how to remove split collection bag from the plastic connector to the Ozito Electric Blower Vac and attach the replacement one ( BLV 2402)
. I cant find any reference to that in the online instruction manual and no one has mentioned it when discussing the failings of the material the bags are made of.

You could try the retailer whom you bought the device from, or perhaps an Ozito website?
Sorry that's the best I can do

I have a coffee roasting machine .after roasting cleaning of its weightless husk by opening of the husk collecting box is required. So I am looking for a sucking machine which sucks by putting one end inside the husk collecting box and another end to bind a poly bag. Any help?
1 answer
What!!!! I've got no idea what this question has to do with a garden blower vac! as that and a lawn mower are the only two Ozito products I own.
The blower vac will suck the life out of that husk collection box.
It sounds seriously extreme to use a blower vac for that purpose. Try manual labour and put your had in and take them out.

For the ozito vac vwd 1220
Can it be used without vac bags & filter?
4 answers
If you didn't use the bag how would it work? I suppose it would if you used it as a blower only and not in the vacuum option. Also It doesn't have a filter! It's a Blower Vac not a vacuum cleaner!!!!
Can't help, sorry, different device, mine a leaf blower/vac, not the wet/dry vacuum cleaner.
Don't know the model. I guess aussiedaren has said what I would.

I was using my 2 year old Ozito blower vac today. It suddenly stopped sucking even though motor is going and can see ( with a torch) that blades are spinning and tubing is clear of debris. Will blow ok but not suck at all. Can't understand what the problem is! What should I do?
1 answer
in mine it was the outlet from the fan/mulcher into the bag that was blocked - take the plastic thingy that holds the bag off and clean out all you can see - I also cut the big plastic fins off in the outlet - they seem custom designed to trap stuff going into the bag causing the outlet to get blocked....let me know how you go....
Kerry Petersasked
My Vac seems to be working a treat, however, when I change over to "blow" mode, it is not blowing. Any ideas as to why or how I can fix it?
Thanks!

The tubes may need clearing. Disconnect the tubes look down them. Any clearing can be done with a piece of wire or hose.
If blockage not there the other place is usually in where the bag attaches the motor. The lever operates a shutter, make sure machine off and clear any rubbish that may be stopping the shutter from changing position
Have always used my BLV 2401 as a vacuum and find it very effective. This morning, in response to your query, tried the blower mode for the first time. Could not find any way to achieve useful blowing - even one leaf at a time!! Have checked the tubes and remain happy that it is a successful sucker for me!.
