    The on/off microswitch burned out after only one season. Trying to get a replacement was impossible!

    After the JCB Garden Vac I would not buy another JCB branded product It did not perform as promised and was a let down. AdviceL AVOID and spend your hard earned money on a better product.

    The bag on my JCB Garden Vac is not replaceable not even from the manufactures address in the manual. I phoned and was told the replacement bag was £7.96 so sent for two with a cheque on the 17-11-08.
    Not having received the bags, I phoned them and they now say they have discontinued this product and the bags are no longer available, Have not received my cheque back either from Pulse Home Products Ltd

    I will soon need a new collection bag for my JCB Garden Vac as the it is prone to clogging up as the throat into the collection bag seems too small.

    I think it must be the most inefficient leaf collector ever invented and I was refused a return my money.

    Very Poor Performance. I also have a JCB petrol strimmer which isn't much better. The JCB Garden Vac is less than 4 months old, so I shall be returning it to Makro ASAP.

    I'll never buy another JCB tool again. Almost as bad as Nu-Tool rubbish.

    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, ...

    I just picked up a JCB Garden Vac for £45 off Amazon and I'm pretty chuffed. It does what it's supposed to and beats raking up your leaves a million times over. I've not had it too long so I can't say if it lasts or not but I think it should. Anyway here's its vital statistics:
    - 2 speeds
    - 2000 watt motor
    - 9:1 mulch ratio
    - 40 litre collection bag
    You just can't argue with all that for £45 can you?
