    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.

    This Black and Decker GW2600 Blower Vac is a pretty good vacuum/leaf blower all in all. Its a little heavy but I think they all are. Its also quite noisy so you wouldn't want to be doing it early on a Sunday morning if you have neighbours who like a lay in!One thing though that could be better is the power switch - currently its either 1 or 2 - however, it woud be much better if it just had a variable dial so you could turn the power up or down.In part of our garden we have granite chippings ...

    The suction tube was a little awkward to assemble - the tip about soapy water in the instruction booklet made things easier. Once put together, the Black and Decker GW2600 Blower Vac looks the business. My stupid idea to switch it on in the kitchen amply demonstrated its huge blowing power by knocking a pot plant off the window-sill and rearranging my wife's hairdo. The noise, when switched to setting 2 on blower mode, is pretty painful, even outdoors.

    At first, all went well. It moves all but ...
