UK gardeners could benefit from less aches and pains this Autumn/Winter thanks to a new leaf blower/vacuum that takes the strain out of the much hated seasonal chore.

Leaf blowing can take up to three hours at a time, with gardeners often having to blow or suck twice a week during the height of the leafy season.

For most the problem is the lack of effective and affordable leaf blowers or vacuums, with many being hand held, heavy and subject to repeated trips to dispose of the debris. However thanks to the Ikra KLS-2000 and KLS-2648 ‘walk behind’ leaf vacuums this could all be a thing of the past.

Similar to traditional vacuums the new models simply need to be pushed along the lawn or patio picking up debris on the way.

Significantly more powerful than existing products the new Ikra leaf vacs provide a quick and easy way of hoovering up the autumn winter deluge of leaves and twigs that if left to its own devices can cause pavements to become slippery and unmanageable and grass to die.

By mulching the collected debris down to a seven to one ratio, gardeners benefit from less bagging and a high quality organic fertiliser perfect for composting or adding to plant pots. A wide angled 45cm nozzle ensures a larger amount of material can be collected during each roll and an additional leaf blower helps dislodge leaves in hard to reach places.

The new Ikra lawn vacs are available exclusively from Mower-Magic.co.uk which is also the sole UK distributor of the Robomow range of automatic lawnmowers.

John Hall Managing Director of Mower Magic and garden machinery expert said: “With less snow fall over recent years the leafy season, which was traditionally confined to September through to November, is often stretching right up until Christmas and beyond. The previous generation of leaf blowers just don’t provide the comfort and effectiveness needed to cope with the increased frequency and demand of the current downfall on medium to large sized lawns.

“When people are collecting leaves two or three times a week they don’t want to be using a heavy hand held leaf blower that can’t cope with the demand. We saw a lot of leaf blowers and vacuums at this year’s GAFA conference in Germany, but the KLS with its host of advanced features and competitive price range blew away the competition.

“We’ve built a strong reputation for providing technically advanced garden machinery that save time and effort on mundane repetitive gardening tasks and the Ikra KLS models are no exception.”

The new Ikra KLS leaf vacuums are available exclusively on www.mower-magic.co.uk as either electric or petrol powered and cost just £196.99 and £248.99 respectively. To find out more please contact Mower Magic on 0845 1235844
