Electric, blower vac mulcher - 2400 watts - BUT weak as; you get coated in dust, useless bag. Used approx 8 times in 12 months ALWAYS change to broom within 5-10 mins, It just takes FOREVER to suck up enough to fill the bag. My hairdryer has more blowing power. Piece of crap.

We bought one of these 12 months ago and have had to replace the bag twice, The blowing facility works well, however the vacuum bags are very lightweight and will break very easily, better to spend a bit more and get one that is less likely to break that keep replacing the bags..

Exactly the same. Went to local Bunnings at Woodville (approx 16 Kil) No Bags On the internet showed 2 at the Norlunga store. went there 3/4 hr drive. Guess what none on the shelf but 2 Ryobi bags where. So much for stock scanning method. Bought another machine as they were on special just to get the bag, no it has disintergrated

I have bought 2 new bags for this machine. They are very brittle, and even without being used, they just perish - fall to bits. So the price looks cheap, but you need to factor in that you will need to buy many bags if you want to keep using it. As for the machine itself, it is OK. Just the bags are lousy.

The Ozito blower, Vac, Mulcher works well, although I haven't had it all that long just six months but have used it at least once a week, cleaning up large gum leaves and small twigs, blossom corns etc, very pleased with it's performance..

Bought it as it is best value for money. It does 3 functions, so its best value for money ($39) with 3 years replacement warranty. After vacuum it does coat you with dust and needs cleaning after use. It is light weight so easy to handle with variable speed. Power cord is too small. Quite easy to assemble out of the box. For the price I bought this is worth it.

I threw my Ryobi out as the bag fell to pieces and the selector jammed. Bought this at a quarter of the price and found it lighter, quieter and worked much better due to variable speed control.

The bag, like the Ryobi, doesn't stop dust, just leaves. Two months old now (the Ryobi lasted nearly two years before it was abandoned), so hardly a durability test but works well Have since bought a cordless, mainly due to laziness.

It also cost less than $50

Went to buy a new bag for my trusty Ryobi blower/vac and was persuaded to buy the Ozito as it was cheaper than just the Ryobi bag. I figured that the Ryobi was already 12yrs old so a good idea to buy a new one. Like other reviewers I found the Ozito bag useless - not a fine enough weave to keep dust inside so you end up covered from head to foot. The old Ryobi bag with several holes in it made less dust than the new Ozito. Returned it to Bunnings and got the Ryobi bag instead.

As per the other reviews, I don't use this (in fact I only used it the once) after getting covered in dust while using the vacuum function while outside. The bag is hopeless. The blower is good though but limited by the cord length and heavy to use. I ended up giving this away free. Good luck!

I bought it because it was a lightweight due to my age and gender. Not the price.
The bag is fragile and a loose weave so what you vacuum coats you in dust. I only used it to clean up after repotting some orchids. My neighbours got dusted as well – not happy!
Great suction
Like being in a dust storm and noisy

Fairly easy to assemble, and very powerful as a vacuum and mulcher. After a few uses I got filthy every time i used it due to the dust blowing thru the bag and onto me., so its important to wear overalls and to wash the bag frequently to lay the dust. The bag is very fragile and tears easily, replacement bags are $17 each which is out of proportion to the new cost of the equipment. If the vac came with some replacement bags and bags were more like $2 each then this equipment would be worth owning.
powerful vac and effective mulcher, cheap to purchase.
bags too weak and too expensive to replace.

The unit is probably ok but the bag is useless and certainly not fit for purpose - the zipper toggle comes out of the slider and the bag material is too weak. My last unit lasted 5+ years with no bag issues so obviously they have tried to make it too cheap this time.

I have used my new unit 3 times since purchase on the 5/1/2014. The bag is easily holed by twigs and gum nuts so you breath in and get covered in fine dust. You have to special order new bags but what is the point of getting the same bag if it is just going to get holes in it again?

Have tried all brands, types, it's light, easy to manouver, the controls are excellent it's different speeds great'suction great, blowing great can't live without it, please don't change it it's perfect, no other brand can match it I KNOW exceptional value for money.Every home should have one. Thanks Ozito someone finally got it right.
Everything
not a thing

After quite a few uses of this it is a terrible blower vac. Yes you get what you pay for. It blocks very easily and the bag is so porous after using it I need to have a shower and change my clothes as I am usually filthy. Never buying this one again. Returned it to Bunnings and the smart boy said it was the way I was using it. He has probably never even used one! Don't purchase this brand.

It is cheap and nasty

This machine has met all my expectations.
Perhaps it could be quieter but at the price of $45 it is great value. I won't be throwing out my leaf rake totally but it will see much less work this Autumn. Using extension leads is always a hassle and there are some places where you cannot get behind the leaves to blow them in the direction you need.
I would buy the same machine again.
Price, mulching efficiency, ease of use.
Noise of course

Good vacuum-blower with excellent pickup and very cheap at Bunnings around $45.It is light weight.It picked up and bagged small gum nuts which previous blowers did not. Be warned that the bag is quite porous and will blow quite a bit of dust out if you are sucking more than leaves. In addition the zip on the bag is the same as the Rok brand of blower I previously had and the hook holding the zip handle is very weak. Be warned- try to open the zip by hooking your finger nail onto the edge of the zip closer and pushing here to save the zip failing.
Very cheap, good suction.
Zip handle has a weak connection

We recently purchased a Ozito BLV 2401 3 in 1 blower vaccum and could not be happier with it. It's light enough for anyone in the family to use, has great sucction with a huge storage bag and blows out a wind storm equal to many petrol models. It is amazing the power of this machine despite being so easy to use and only needing a small space for storage.
Inexpensive and light weight.
