General Comments

I bought a Garden Blower Vacuum in a hurry but went for a Viking as I have found their shredder to be excellent.

In retrospect it would have been better to evaluate other makes as while the Viking BE600 is good in some respects it hase some irritating bad points, the main one being that you need three arms to empty the leaf bag into a recepticle! It has excellent suction and mulching performance but in blowing mode the motor is too powerful in some situations and a two-speed switch would have been helpful. Because the various tubes/pipes fit so tightly it is difficult to swap from blow to vac mode quickly. Overall, a useful machine but I think I will look at other makes before next Autumn.
