I must admit I am a bit of a princess when it comes to mud & stuff, but this kit has forced me to brave it and sort out my garden. The range of tools is good and they are fairly hardwearing. If you are doing any serious hard work you will need something a bit more specific than this, but this is a great all-rounder and a really useful gift.
The kit comprises of: pink basket with removable handle to keep everything organised, heavy-weight gloves for dealing with thorny hedges & plants, light-weight gloves which are great for keeping you clean and splinter-free, ball of string for training plants, handheld size fork, handheld size trowel, kneeling mat perfect for resting your knees and keeping your clothes clean, pruning ...

Infinitely easier and less hassle than the old 'wrap it round a glass' technique. They do dry out faster than coir plant pots, though. It would also be great if it were possible to get them in a larger size for potting on. Over all, I love it and would recommend it.

This is a fantastic piece of kit. Lockblock patio and PVC Gutters/ Soffits now sparkling. Dirtblaster does the business.
Only one problem, relating to the suction hose. The instructions (page 6)state "pull detergent suction hose as far as is required out of the housing". The hose is very short and too easily pulled off the connection. Now I have a suction hose which is detached from the machine !!
I suggest the following modifications 1) longer suction hose, 2) Fix the suction hose with a proper mechanical connection (it is presently a push fit which is useless), 3)colour code the hose to indicate when it has reached the end of it's travel.
Otherwise great result.

If you prefer cleaning the patio one inch at a time and getting drenched in the process this is not for you. The design and functionality of this gadget is superb. I cleaned the patio and 100 feet of pathways in 2 hours - It used to take a full day. It's as easy to use as a hover mower.

I've been having this shredder for nearly 3 years. It's extremely silent, powerful, effective and in short it does everything which has been meant on doing causing no problems at all. It rarely clogged and only when the hedges inserted where a bit wet and too much for the opening. It shreds to small pieces at the size of a sugar lump I would say. One piece of advise: first shed the fresh, green parts and keep the harder trims last or for in-between. You may occasionally need to use the harder trims to clean the teeth of the blade by shredding them through, when green or wet trims have accumulated on the teeth. If you can afford it, go for the next more powerful model with a larger opening.

I couldn't believe what a nice cut this lawnmower delivers. But be prepared for the huuuuge amount of grass clippings you will have to cope with. This is the price to pay for an excellent cut, but it came as a shock to me the first time I used it!

well I knew I had made a mistake when I tried it out in the garage. All it does is blow the leafs around. I tried it outside and it was useless after an hour i gave up and went back to using the rake and picking them up. it does sort of work if you first rake leafs into a heap and bury the vacuum end in the pile. but it will still blow a lot away to be raked up again so DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT.
