“I bought the black and decker gw2600 to replace my 10...”

written by bressay on 02/07/2009

Good Points
Powerful suction and blow

Bad Points
Very poor bag fastener. It should last longer than one hour. Don't B&D check these things by giving them a good trial before going into production?

General Comments
I bought the black and decker gw2600 to replace my 10 year old Flymo Garden Vac which has developed a high pitched whine on the motor.

The tube for the vacuum part was awkward to assemble, but after administering the recommended soapy water I finally got the two parts together. The tube for the blower was no trouble to put together.

Well it was a nice day today so I trimmed the hedge and started to vacuum up the leaves and small twigs left on the drive.
All went well until after I had emptied the bag 4 times. The catch holding the bag in place seemed to lose its initial springiness and the contents of the bag were flying out of the gap that had developed at the point where the bag meets the clamshell. I think it will be going back to Argos soon.
