Bosch UniversalGardenTidy 2300 Review

The Bosch UniversalGardenTidy 2300 is a leaf blower, garden vacuum and shredder all-in-one. It quickly, easily and efficiently clears leaves and other garden debris from lawns, patios, driveways, paths, etc. It lets you adjust its air flow between 165km/h and 285km/h, giving you plenty of choice in this respect. Such a high speed is down to its excellent design and powerful 2300W motor. When shredding, it achieves a high 12:1 compaction ratio.

The Bosch UniversalGardenTidy 2300 has a large collection bag with a 45 litre capacity. This bag doesn't require emptying excessively often thanks to its large volume and the tool's impressive shredding ratio. We like the balanced and low noise design of the tool, running much quieter than a petrol powered blower/vacuum would. We like the fact that a comfortable support strap is included.
