I purchased my Ozito 3 in 1 Mulcher-Blower 3 years ago and it certainly does what it says. The only problem is that for older people with Arthritic hands it is a heavy article. The plus side is the little wheel at the front which alleviates the need to hold it up. The price is right, at $49.00, and I highly recommend this product. A definate 'must' for any gardener's shed.

This is a great vac/blower. My hubby uses it after mowing. So easy to use. The vacuum mulches as it sucks up the leaves and grasses. So no need for a separate mulcher. It needs an extension cord if to far from the house. Would recommend to everyone. A great price bought from Bunnings.

For a price tag of $49 I cant complain. The barely 1mtr long power cord is amusing for an electric power tool one would assume will be used mostly outdoors. It blows and vacs well. The clip and zip bag makes disposal easy. Ive only had it for 6mnths but its doing good so far

Bought 3 years ago and has worked great, had to replace the bag though about 6 months ago but Bunnings do sell so was OK (from memory around $20). Blows, mulches and vac's well, is light weight and easy to handle. Would buy another if and when it eventually wears out.

So I got this one second hand off Gumtree.
I asked for him to turn it on, but when he flicked the switch, nothing happened.
Only after attaching the bag, did the machine work. I guess this is a safety catch so you don't start spraying mulch all over the place if you're using the vacuum function
Otherwise, a wonderful machine and does the job it needs to do

Ozito blower vac price after buying at $169 add 2 batteries at $109 each add charger at$25 total $412 a very expensive item . I would not have bought it, had I not assembled it, I hadn,t realised the batteries and charger were not included and at that cost.

Purchased this machine after my previous cheap machine gave up the ghost after 5 years. The suction is very good and the adjustable power feature is a good feature. Contrary to previous reviews I have read the bag does not let dust through. Very good value for money and does a better job than the Ryobi I used to have previously. That is the reason I buy the cheap ones now.

I needed a simple vac to clean a small patio and alarger pave area mainly leaves, flower petals. Only used it 3 times so far but it does the job. As for dust, of course there has to some, the air from vac has to go somewhere. So what if you get a little on you. We don,t use it in our best clobber, do we!

Thought it would be cheep and nasty. However, I was so frustrated by my new Ryobi equivalent (returned to Bunnings...twice ) I thought I'd give it a go. Light weight, functional, no dribble of debris when you switch off, this unit is excellent. Talk about Ryobi loosing its way! Couldn't recommend this Ozito more highly!

I've put this one to the test and it's passed my cynical first impression. It's a powerful, compact, light on weight and light on price product. It does the job and does it well. This blower vac has performed just as well as those, three times it's retail price. I payed $39 at Bunnings.

I've had a number of blower vacs over the years and this one certainly does the intended job well. For a lightweight domestic unit it blows strongly and vacs up small twigs and large leaves with ease. As others have mentioned, a bit of dust escapes the bag, if that's what you're vacuuming, I'd expect that with most units! Unfortunately, either the main switch or variable speed switch has become intermittently faulty and I'm about to return the unit for replacement after only 10 months. Happy for another he same.

Works ok but the bags are very weak and poor quality. They let dust through and I get coated in dust each time I used it. Also the bag disintegrated within 18m despite Vac was always stored in shed. Bags are expensive to replace ($19.90 at Bunnings) in comparison to the cost of the machine at $39 when I purchased - looks like they are now $49. I dug out my receipt from Nov, 2014 and returned it for a full refund.

Only used it 3 times and each time I have had to take it apart and clear the vacuum stem. Whoever designed this product has designed a crossbar in the middle of the vacuum stem and leaves get caught up in this crossbar. Save your money and buy a better blower. Better still, use a rake to get rid of the leaves. the rake will do a better job.

I've used it a few times and really love the vacuum on it and the fact you can adjust the speed. Sucks up leaves and small twigs which is what I only want it for. It's the small version so expect smaller results, but for $49 its a bargain with a 3 year warranty. There is some dust blown out as mentioned by other reviewers but that depends on how much dirt/dust you're sucking up. You have to be realistic.
