Easy Yard Cleanup with an Electric Mulching Vacuum
Cleaning up leaves and debris from your lawn can be a real chore. Fall is the
worst. You have to rake leaves several times and even when all the leaves of
fallen from your own trees, there are still some that blow in from neighbor’s
yards. An electric mulching vacuum can ease your workload. You can say goodbye
to raking and quickly get your yard cleaned up.
An electric mulching vacuum works like a standard garden vacuum. They usually
have two settings - vacuum and blow. The blowing mode is good for cleaning off
driveways and sidewalks while the vacuum mode is suitable for collecting leaves
and garden debris. The mulching function compresses the debris by cutting it up
into fine pieces. This makes the debris much more compact.
Some models of electric mulching vacuum come with a speed switch. High-speed
blowing or vacuuming can be used when there are a lot of leaves to pick up or
when the yard is a little bit wet. Since it often rains in the fall, having two
speeds on the vacuum can be a convenient feature. The lower speed can be used
for dry conditions or when there are only a few leaves to pick up.
One of the great advantages of an electric mulching vacuum is its ability to
compact the collected debris. Some models feature a ten to one compacting ratio.
This means that you can get 10 bags of uncompacted debris into one bag.
When buying an electric mulching vacuum take a look at its blowing and vacuum
capacity. High-performance models can produce blowing forces of more than 200
mph while the vacuum airflow can be more than 500 CFM. The higher airflows allow
you to work faster and more efficiently.
Before you buy an electric mulching vacuum check to see if the handles can be
converted from right to left. This is not a big deal at everyone and your family
is right-handed, but if you have both right-handed and left-handed people who
might use the vacuum, switchable handles are necessary.
Once you start using an electric mulching vacuum you will never want to go back
to raking leaves again. The speed and convenience of these machines make them a
necessity for any house owner.
