Good Points
Lightweight. Blower and vacuum. Mulches as it vacuums. Easy to operate by anyone - my wife and 14 year old daughter can use it with no problems.
Bad Points
My organization bought 4, and none of them like old fuel i.e. Fuel that has been mixed and sits for over one month. One of the piston head bolts broke off. One string will not retract. One runs for 2-3 minutes and stops. It restarts with no problem, but will not stay running.
General Comments
I like the McCulloch BVM250 Petrol Blower Vac. I bought my own after using the ones at work. I am willing to deal with the problems because they are easy to work on. Really simple engines.

My blower Vac has stopped working it seems, as the primer pump is not working. It may also be a problem with the card Can any one please advise me where I can obtain a parts manual? Please leave a comment.

I have a leaf blower. It starts but it will not continue to run. I cannot find anyone who will work on it. The general comment is "it is not worth fixing". It is only 3 years old, and it has not done hardly any work. Any suggestions ?

Your McCulloch BVM250 leaf blower may require a new gasket set. You can get these from

I have just used my vac for the first time, and it seems that I have got a drip of oil going on the bag as I am using it. Any suggestions?

Mine has been a constant source of problems - regularly gets blocked, starter cord won't retract, hard to start
