Best Electric Blower Vacuums

I've had my Ozito BLV-2401 for a while but I can see the same model is still available. As I look the price is still $59, the same that I paid in May… Read more

2022. Considering how much more expensive everything got since then, it's not bad. My experience has been good. I can see a few bad reviews but expectations should be tempered by the very low price. You are getting a Kia, not a Rolls Royce. :-D On the positive side, it's simple, does the job and even has speed adjustment. For what it is, the 3 year warranty is a nice bonus and gives a peace of mind. On the negative side, and this is my only main gripe, the original collection bag didn't last very long. I was able to get a replacement bag and it seems to hold together better but it's very ill-fitting. No matter what I did, air would leak around it, blowing out dust. But, there is nothing a bit of duct tape couln't fix, right?! I just wrapped some around the connection chute and everything was fine after that. So, that's one replacement bag in 3 years and still going, so maybe it's not that bad. The other thing is that the chute is relatively tight, so never let the bag fill up 100% but you shouldn't do that, anyway. Normally it still doesn't clog up but somebody borrowed it and let the bag fill up with damp leaves and I had to remove the bag and clean out the chute which clogged up and the blower/vacc selection lever was stuck. It was just a few minute job to fix, so no big drama. I can see most people spring for the battery operated alternatives but a corded blower vacc like this is way cheaper, powerful, has no hassles with charging expensive batteries that are subject to losing charge with aging and no danger of running out of juice mid-job and you don't have the added weight of the battery to lug around. If you have a long enough extension cord and a mains socket nearby, corded is great. Of course, it's not suitable for wet weather but blower vaccs wouldn't work well in wet conditions, anyway. This was a replacement for a corded Ryobi which had a multitude of usability problems and I was quietly happy when it died and had to find a replacement. Ryobi used be cheap and cheerful but it's now neither and I think Ozito has that crown.

Terrible product and terrible phone experience with Ozito – Do not buy this blower, Battery dies just after warranty period end, Ozito very bad customer service on phone, will never buy Ozito again, cheap and poor quality products.

Bewdy – I use it to dry my wife when she gets wet in the rain.

Good product – This blower is good and useful high power and makes my work fast.

Since my last review of this rubbish product a few months ago I've now had to replace the failed battery charger. So far I've had to replace the 36v… Read more

battery, two collection bags and now the battery charger unit - what disgrace this product has been for me. They say doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of stupidity - well, I'm stupid for wasting money on this lousy product. Think carefully about buying this Ryobi product.

Light and powerful – Very lightweight and powerful battery backpack blower. Very compact. Get about 15mins on full (without using turbo) on a 2AH battery. This blower… Read more

seems to produce a bit more power when using the 4ah battery when compared to the 2ah battery. Power is similar to the Ego 56V backpack blower (but not as powerful as AEG's 58V backpack blower), but the Victa is more efficient in using the battery for better runtimes. On full power (without using turbo), the Victa will probably give the same runtime on a 4Ah (288wh) battery as the Ego with a 7.5ah (420wh) battery. The only downside with the Victa is that the position of the air intake. I often find my loose shirts being pulled causing the intake air flow being restricted. Also, I did notice at times, the motor makes a cluck noise and stops for a few moments. Apart from these, this is an awesome blower. Whether, it is durable or not, only time will tell.

Beat Expectations Until It Did Not – The Ozito Blower/Vac was pretty good. I did not expect it to deliver the performance of a more expensive unit, after all, it is Ozito (only $130 @… Read more

Bunnings). However, it performed well. We have Eucalyptus trees shedding twigs, bark, and leaves all year long. Every 2 weeks it is a 4 to 5 hour job cleaning the roof, patio, walkway, and drive. Heaps of vegetation. The Ozito did 3 sessions of blowing and vacuuming. The bag gets emptied every 30-40 minutes. Everything started getting bad when the bag's zipper started getting difficult, and it just got worse regardless of the number of times you cleaned the bag (inside & out). The zipper is not heavy-duty enough and should be bigger. The inappropriate size of the zipper makes the unit useless. I returned the machine to Bunnings, and they gave me a refund. I am now going to purchase the Stihl SHE-81.

Rubbish. Worked for a few weeks the battery would no longer charge. Tried to return to Bunnings however Victa has certified repair shops. They sent… Read more

away to be looked at, 3 weeks later got an email saying it was ready to be picked up, ended up needing a new battery. The guy at repair shop said he would see me soon as the batteries do not last and id be lucky to get a few months out of it. (Victa as a brand has always been fantastic. Branching out into batteries they are not there yet). I do not reccomend

Had it less then a week the vac bag has ripped and the change over handle that changes from blow to vacuum is plastic and has snapped off, contacted… Read more

there customer service via email to have a conversation about there failed product and all I got was crickets and I’m still waiting. Maybe look at some other options before considering this blower vac. Also pretty heavy.

Tools are low quality and warranty is not existent – Back up issues never resolved warranty takes too long we have decided to go with another brand. These guys are not good business operators. Sydney… Read more
