Lidl electric leaf garden vacuum

They are on promo for 38€ , I want one that chops the leaves up a bit for leaf mold, has anyone got one and will it do that?

I thought they just blew leaves about, making a deafening noise for the neighbours!   A besom broom would be much quieter and cheaper.  [6]

Dunno about the Lidl one, but you can certainly get ones that do.  Our old Flyvac died last week and I looked on LeBonCoin and got a souffleur/broyeur in the next town for 30 euros.  Can't tell you the make, but is very powerful (has 2 speeds) and the bag has a long zip to enable easy dumping of the finely mulched leaves.  Try looking near you for something like that - it's the broyeur bit you want to be sure of.

The Lidel machine looks good. If you go onto the Lidel site and watch the video he shows you how it chops up the leaves and explains the 3 position switch etc. I would say it is worth buying.

Thanks for the pointer about the video, I didn't realise that they did them. I think for 38€ I will give it a go.

I believe not.  It is a vital piece of equipment for playing quidditch though.
