This was at Bunnings Belmont WA also.

The dude said they are good if you don't intend to use it for long sessions. Decided to get a $99 Bosch one which Im happy with.

I had one of these and it was hopeless… I returned it after two weeks. Save your money and avoid.

I also bought one of these. Returned it the same day.

Bunnings also sell a green electric blower vac (cant remember brand). It was a little more than this red one, but works a hell of a lot better.

Dont buy this one… unless the leaves are dry and on concrete, they wont budge. Forget about autumn leaves on damp grass. No way in hell.

The green one does well however. By memory there was a straight blower, and a blower/vac. Get the eletric blower/vac.

  I'm glad I opted for the Bosch, the green one would be Ozito I suspect. I initially picked up the Ozito but the Bunnings guy said get the Homelite since it had been reduced so much but the Bosch would be much better overall.
  
  For what its worth I have a cheap Ozito jigsaw and it hasn't missed a beat which is why I initially went Ozito over the reduced Homelite.

    Bought it a few years ago now and still going strong.
