Yard Force Cordless Garden Blower And Vacuum - 40V

Top of the range for a reason!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is Yard Force’s top-of-the-range cordless blower vac, and you can tell! It’s a really well-designed piece of equipment and has already become a useful addition to my garden maintenance routine. My main use for it will be clearing up leaves after cutting my hedges, as well as keeping leaves off my lawn. I’m quite particular about keeping my grass in top condition, especially throughout autumn and winter, so having something cordless that can quickly clear leaves is ideal for me. As you can see from my photos, everything comes neatly packed into a surprisingly compact box. Assembly is incredibly straightforward — you simply click the various sections together and fit five screws. All you need is a Phillips-head screwdriver. The instructions are also very clear and easy to follow, so there’s no complicated setup involved. The package includes two 20V batteries and a dual charger, which I think is a really good addition. If you already have, or plan to buy, other Yard Force cordless garden tools, the batteries can be used across the range, which makes the system even more appealing. Once assembled, the blower vac is extremely easy to operate. There’s a simple control knob on top which allows you to adjust the power. Both the blower and vacuum functions are surprisingly powerful. It has no problem moving leaves around when blowing and makes light work of sucking them up when using the vacuum function. There is also a Turbo setting when you need some extra power, which makes clearing larger amounts of leaves even quicker. Obviously, using Turbo will consume more battery, so I’d use it when the extra power is actually needed rather than leaving it on constantly. Despite looking like quite a substantial machine, it’s actually very manageable to use. It isn’t particularly heavy, and the included shoulder strap makes a noticeable difference when using it for longer periods. One of my favourite features is the collection bag and built-in mulching function. The leaves and garden debris are shredded as they’re collected, meaning you can fit considerably more into your garden waste bin without constantly having to empty it. It would also be ideal for adding suitable garden waste to a compost heap. The photos show just how finely it mulches the material. There’s also an access panel around the fan area, which can be opened if anything does become clogged. It’s a nice feature to have, particularly when vacuuming up a mixture of leaves and garden debris. Battery life I was particularly interested to see how the batteries would perform in real-world use. After cutting my hedges, I used the vacuum function to clear up the leaves and garden debris. I used it for approximately 20 minutes, and the battery level dropped from 100% to 53%. For my particular use, that’s more than enough. Another nice touch is that the batteries arrived with around 75% charge straight out of the box, meaning you could realistically assemble the machine and start using it without waiting around for a full charge. The fact that it’s completely cordless is a huge advantage for me. There’s nothing worse than dragging an extension lead around the garden, constantly worrying about where the cable is or getting it tangled around hedges and plants. Being able to pick it up, use it wherever I need it and put it away afterwards makes garden maintenance much easier. I was also pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is. Obviously, it still makes noise — it is a leaf blower/vac after all — but compared with some petrol and corded blowers/vacuums I’ve used or heard, it’s relatively quiet, particularly for the amount of power it produces. Overall After my first proper use, I’m very impressed with the Yard Force cordless blower vac. It feels well made, is straightforward to assemble and operate, has plenty of power, and the cordless design makes it incredibly convenient. The combination of two batteries, dual charging, Turbo mode, a shoulder strap and the mulching collection bag makes this a very capable garden tool. For anyone looking for a powerful cordless blower vac for keeping their garden tidy, particularly during autumn and winter when leaves become a constant job, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a serious look.
