General Comments
The JCB garden vac is a product that I would happily recommend. It has a 2000w motor which provides enough suction to lift wet leaves which are stuck to the ground.
At first I thought that the collection bag was too small, but the mulching does an excellent job, and it's surprising just how much it holds.
As is usually the case with JCB garden products, the wiring and switches give a look and feel of quality. There were a couple of very minor finishing issues when the package was opened, but they were easily sorted in seconds.
As has been the case with any garden vac that I've used, the shoulder strap is uncomfortable and is not particularly useful, but the support wheel makes up for this.
Overall this is good value for money, and it does a good job.
