Helpful. I need one to replace a Bosch which has done about 10 hours of work in 5 years and packed up. Well, it's making an horrendous noise and the bag zip has broken rendering it useless. I had a moment of 'Oh-oh!' in your video when you said, "You really shouldn't be using it in such wet conditions," because that's probably what has wrecked the Bosch. That and the fact that we have a big fir tree which drops huge amounts of soft things, 8 to 10cm long. They are also generally damp. I know it's harder work for it but I didn't realise we had to wait for that one day a month when all the debris has dried out. I had intended to buy one of these today but the leaves are wet and I may just need to rake and sweep. As far as your work goes, the video production is very good. Clear shots, good explanations, nice summary. To be more helpful I would have appreciated hearing some quick comparisons at the end though this may risk your relationship with manufacturers. Something like, "Mulches better than the Black & Decker, better blowing power than the Bosch, longer lead than both, not as as good as X though it is cheaper," etc Or straight advice like, "If you've got a big garden, you might need the X, or if you are mostly blowing and don't need the vacuum so much, try the Y, or if you need a battery powered model, look at..." Thanks though. I think this is the one for me.
Thanks so much Geoff for your feedback. Yes I agree it would be helpful to include some comparisons within each review, I will be sure to do this in the future. Thanks again
Great thanks.... just been given one as a present and thought it was just a leaf BLOWER didn't realise its a mulcher aswell!! RESULT! ...and it a cordless one too!
I purchased in 2019. Whilst vacuuming dry leaves the tube got blocked. Went to manual and advises unscrewing impeller access door P.14/15. There is no impeller access door. Contacted seller and they said there was no impeller access door and was told you must dismantle the housing to remove the tubes. Did so but it was not straightforward or easy.They have now produced a video which says you have to loosen three screws to take apart the two halves of the tubes to be able to clear them ... for leaves! Do that on a cold autumn day halfway through your job. And don't do it outside as you may lose the screws. Is this the best solution that Hyundai can come up with?
Hi John, thanks very much for your comment and highlighting this. I also spoke to Hyundai about this originally and yes this is the only way to clear a blocked tube/impeller. Thanks again Mark
FYI the problem is exasperated if the tubes are extended so use shortened if you can. I also use a cane to poke and free blockages as taking it apart is ridiculous.
To see it in action on what were dry leaves by comparison to the soggy ones I have in November and importantly the 'little finger' sized brown 'tree turds' that I have in the thousands off my cyprus tree, initially dry and full of yellow dust but after rain they are not blowable, due to shape and weight, as if a thousand puppies had each 'done one' ..but need sucking up, and that hyundai missed leaves and small twigs, bits of soil, if it passed over leaves its no good for soggy ones and my 'turds'. Cons say lack of option on tube configuration for blowing. More on that would be good.
Hi Kristina Thanks for your message. You can adjust the suction so it collects the leaves and not the pebbles. I have tried this myself and it works well. Just be careful that no smaller pebbles get sucked up as this could damage the unit. Thanks Mark
Good video. I ve just bought one of these. I wish you had shown how to attach the strap as that is what I needed to see as I don't think I have connected it right .
Hi Julie, many thanks for your comments. If you email me at info@easylawnmowing.co.uk I will respond with some photos or even a short video how to do this. Thanks Mark
Hi, great review, thanks. I'd have like to have heard what the device sounds like without music and over some talking so one could get an indication of how loud it is compared to speech... Tx
Hi Leonie Thanks for your message. I just had a look at mine as I did not have a problem and can see there is a string (shoelace) that holds the bag on to the unit. Remove this string and tie again ensuring the whole bag is well over the lip. It is a shame that Hyundai did not thread this sting through the actual bag itself to stop this happening. Please let us know how you get on. Thanks Mark
Hi, I wanted to ask if you know if this leaf Blower/Vac/Mulcher would work on twigs with the leaves like that of a cypress tree and ones similar to that tree. The leaves that fall in my garden from our neighbours garden are thin and needle like, like that of cypress trees.
Hi Kari I have the same tree with needle like leaves and though it does work, I found the end of the vacuum clogging/blocking often. You need to take it more slowly than you would with dry leaves. To be honest I find it quicker to sweep the needles with a stiff broom and use the vacuum for the rest of the garden. Thanks Mark
Great little video thanks easy lawn", Was gonna do a review video on this product but u beat me to it. I wish I'd watched this first before using it. The switch to make blow and then vacuum is brilliant. The extend tube is brilliant adds extra blow power and of course height. The chopped leaves are really good, (do you need replacement blades??) I literally suck the leaves and everything up moving backwards, does a brilliant job!, my first leave blower. The bag attached should have been in video!, for first timers,, and for me if bag gets too full the zip pops open a little. For me it's five stars. Sightly addicted I must say. Blow leaves then quickly vuccum. Everyone needs one.
Thanks for the positive feedback, glad that the video was useful. Yes you are right about the bag attachment, it can be little frustrating to attach and when the bag becomes heavy, it does have a habit of working its way off, so empty before the bag gets too full. All it all, it works great and is a handy and convenient tool to have around the garden.
Hi Jo Please see the video below. Unblocking The Chute Of The Hyundai HYBV3000E 3-in-1 Leaf Blower th-cam.com/video/2a33Dj_LAUI/w-d-xo.html Many thanks Mark
The only thing that I find is the shape of the sucker head and the wheels not quite at the right angle to keep the right distance from the surface but most are not but adjustability helps. Access to clear blockages is a critical factor as blowers inherently block easily. Angled head makes this particularly difficult to clear or even see blockages.
Thank you for a very informative video. I have just purchased this for my husband and it appears to be an excellent buy. However, please can you tell me what the small white slider just under the cable is used for. It slides up and down but cannot find the use for it. Many thanks Regards Anne
Hi Anne, great to hear you are happy with this product. The white slider is designed to allow you to hang the leaf blower on a hook on your garage or shed wall. It has no other purpose in terms of how the blower functions. Regards Mark
It also acts as a cable hook to take the strain off the cable connection, if you double the cable into a loop pass it through the bath shaped hole then loop it over the tee shape ! It saves you having the cable breaking where it enters via the grommet, this is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions but most corded blowers strimmers etc have this on them.
Hi Rebecca, yes it is relatively powerful with its 3000W motor but you need to be careful as there is a mulching blade that cuts the leaves and debris into fine pieces, so it is not designed to pick up sticks and gravel as this will damage the motor and the blade.
Hi, yes I found the wheels a complete waste and unusable really. Having said that it doesn't take anything away from the performance of the vacuum/blower. You can see my top electric leaf blowers on the link below, split into popular categories easylawnmowing.co.uk/best-electric-leaf-blowers-reviews-buyers-guide/
I have this leaf blower and find it very good, I am elderly and the weight is ok for me. I do have 1 question though, what is the pull out grey bit just above the handle for as I’m baffled why it is there
didnt like the zip could do with a bigger better one zips gone on mine trying to get a replacement does seam to be many around do you know of a web site i could get one
HI Anthony, yes the zip could be better, mine is still working fine but starting to get a little stiff with all the dust and debris. Maybe worth contacting Hyundai as they may have suggestions, they may recommend a replacement bag. Please let me know how you get on.
I have already bought one of these and it’s great but can someone tell me what the small white thing is that pulls out just below the cable on the back of the motor.
Hi Marion, yes apologies about not showing how to do this in my video. All leaf blowers that use this method can be little tricky, but you simply push down on the clip and lever the bag off. Once you have done this a couple of times, it becomes a lot easier. Kind regards Mark
In the light of my comments and your reply I do not think the product deserves the glowing recommendation that you have given it. People deserve to know these significant problems.
Hi great video thank you. May i ask how tall you are, as you seem to be stooping slightly even on max telescopic setting? I'm 6'3" and had to buy a v tall strimmer to avoid back pain. I'm planning on using one for blowing dry or damp leaves from 20mm stones 24x8 foot area. I don't mind blowing them into a pile and picking up, rather than potentially clogging the impeller like others have mentioned. Thanks :)
Yes I would say so, when I was using it I found that I wanted to move from side to side, however some people may find it useful when running along the edge of a building or fence.
Highly misleading video. It's plain to see that the leaves are NOT wet and this is massively important as the vacuum will not pick up damp leaves or even dry leaves if attached to stalks (eg laurel hedging). The debris bag on mine split around the shoe lace (yes, shoe lace) fixing and I've had to fix with duct tape. Interestingly, the video does not mention the debris bag installation at all. Trading Standards should see this...
Hi Nicholas, I can confirm that the leaves were damp as we just had the wettest period in many years. It is never a good idea to use a non-commercial electric vacuum anyway on wet leaves. With regard to the shoe lace and the collection bag, I do understand where you are coming from and it can work loose especially when the bag is full and heavy. It is possible however to tie it more tightly to prevent it from slipping away from the device.
IMHO: DONT BY THIS ITEM!!! It will only work well on perfectly light, correctly sized and completely dry leaves. I am baffled that 3000W doesn't create stronger suction / blow. The suction is so poor, I put my hand in front to see if there was any suction. You can barely feel the suction with your hand. I am baffled that so many people rate this product high. The type of leaves it will collect, would be very easy to collect with a rake. If you are reasonably fit, save the environment, get some exercise, save your money, and don't by this item. Nothing against the reviewer. But, yes, ... in my view it is misleading, as this product is not as great as it comes across in the review.
Hi Didrik, thanks for your comments and your opinion. I do understand what you are saying in terms of the limitations, however the leaf blower did collect the leaves which were little damp and mulched them nicely, as you can see from my video. Are you sure your leaf blower is not blocked in the chute or around the impeller, as mine definitely had good suction if you were to put your hand at the end of the chute. This doesn't sound right. In terms of blowing, yes I agree it is not great on wet leaves, but again it does have its uses in the right situation. I have just recently scarified my lawn, and it did a great job at blowing all of the thatch and moss into a pile for collection. Again, thanks for your feedback.
I've just given my new Hyundai leaf blower it's first run and it did a great job. Key feature is light weight!
Helpful. I need one to replace a Bosch which has done about 10 hours of work in 5 years and packed up. Well, it's making an horrendous noise and the bag zip has broken rendering it useless.

Thank you so much for this very good review, this helps us make up our mind and will be now buy this leaf blower based on your review.
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks
Great thanks.... just been given one as a present and thought it was just a leaf BLOWER didn't realise its a mulcher aswell!! RESULT! ...and it a cordless one too!
Fantastic!
Great review thanks. It's a shame cordless versions are so much more expensive still
Thanks for your feedback, yes this is the case with garden tools in general; cordless tend to be much more expensive due to the cost of the battery.

thanks loved the video. Convinced me to buy my first lawn blower/vac. Thank you
Glad I could help
great video very informative , what happens if it blocks is it easy to clear
Glad you found my video helpful and informative. In terms of unblocking please see this video th-cam.com/video/2a33Dj_LAUI/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps
Great video, you've convinced me to order one. Thanks for the discount code on your website :-)
Hi Qwerty1235945. Thanks for the feedback. Kind regards - Mark
Was wondering how will it perform on pebbled surface? Will it suck the stones up?
Hi Kristina
Thanks for your message.
You can adjust the suction so it collects the leaves and not the pebbles. I have tried this myself and it works well. Just be careful that no smaller pebbles get sucked up as this could damage the unit.
Thanks
Mark
Great video and review - enjoyed this - just bought one
Good choice, thanks for the positive feedback.

hello, what is the white pull-out plastic piece under the cable on the handle for? thank you, great video
Hi Joan, the white pull out plastic piece is only used to hang the leaf blower on the wall. Thanks for the positive comments on the video.
Great. Thanks for the review. I’m going to order one on amazon today.
Hi Emma, thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped.
Mark
Hi, great review, thanks. I'd have like to have heard what the device sounds like without music and over some talking so one could get an indication of how loud it is compared to speech... Tx
Thanks for your feedback, I have started to reduce / remove the music on all future videos.
Great video but my bag keeps falling off?? What am i doing wrong
Hi Leonie
Thanks for your message.
I just had a look at mine as I did not have a problem and can see there is a string (shoelace) that holds the bag on to the unit.
Remove this string and tie again ensuring the whole bag is well over the lip.
It is a shame that Hyundai did not thread this sting through the actual bag itself to stop this happening.
Please let us know how you get on.
Thanks
Mark
Im having the same problem, the bag falls off all the time!
Placed an order for this and as an added bonus used the leaf10 discount code as well thanks for a really helpful video
Hi Rich, many thanks for your comment, so pleased you found the video useful and got the discount.

great for job required, but what is the function of the white pull out piece , beside the cable entrance and below the handle
Hi Jim
I believe this is for hanging the leaf blower on the wall, but not 100% sure. Other than that it seems to serve no purpose.
Many thanks
Mark
Hi - looks great and I will probably buy over the next few days - can you use it to do gutters
Thanks for your positive feedback, unfortunately there is no gutter attachment for this blower / vacuum. Thanks Mark

Oops! Found it. Dead easy. Just clicks in place.
Hi Judy - thanks for your comment - so pleased it worked out for your. Regards Mark
Can anyone tell me how good the vacuum setting is? Will it pick up small gravel, sticks, bits of broken glass for example? Thanks
Hi Rebecca, yes it is relatively powerful with its 3000W motor but you need to be careful as there is a mulching blade that cuts the leaves and debris into fine pieces, so it is not designed to pick up sticks and gravel as this will damage the motor and the blade.
No the slightest stick will just the vacuum before it even gets to the mulcher, it's awful
Thanks for the great review.
Glad it was helpful!
Great all round review - thank you! Any issues with the wheels? I noticed you didn't use them.
Also, did you consider any alternatives?

Hi just bought one. What's the light grey plastic thing for that pulls out just above the black handle?
Hi Ray, great to hear.
Good question, Hyundai told me that it was for hanging the blower on a hook in the shed or garage.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Mark
I have already bought one of these and it’s great but can someone tell me what the small white thing is that pulls out just below the cable on the back of the motor.
Great to hear you are satisfied; this is to hang it on the wall.
Good video, but you did not show how to attach and release the bag. I have just bought one and am having trouble understanding the instructions
Hi Marion, yes apologies about not showing how to do this in my video. All leaf blowers that use this method can be little tricky, but you simply push down on the clip and lever the bag off. Once you have done this a couple of times, it becomes a lot easier.

Hope you enjoy it!
In the light of my comments and your reply I do not think the product deserves the glowing recommendation that you have given it. People deserve to know these significant problems.
Which problems?
I have already given them.
Hi whats the grey slider for underneath the motor

Good question! I believe it is for hanging the blower on a hook on the wall.

Great product and vey light with powerful motor good Value.
Hi Joe, thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Great video.
Glad you liked it!
Does it pick up other rubbish other than Leaves? Like moss small stones crap similar to that? Thanks
Yes, it will pick up moss. You need to adjust the suction so it does not pick up stones as this will damage the mulching mechanism. Thanks
Great video, will buy one now...………….Thanks
Good choice!
great review just bought one on the strengh off this.
Hope you enjoy it!
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Well explained
Many thanks.

You're welcome!
So the wheels seem quite redundant then!
Yes I would say so, when I was using it I found that I wanted to move from side to side, however some people may find it useful when running along the edge of a building or fence.
Wheels seem pointless, to the extent they almost get in the way?
Yes they do not really help too much, but it is another option for some users.
Highly misleading video. It's plain to see that the leaves are NOT wet and this is massively important as the vacuum will not pick up damp leaves or even dry leaves if attached to stalks (eg laurel hedging). The debris bag on mine split around the shoe lace (yes, shoe lace) fixing and I've had to fix with duct tape. Interestingly, the video does not mention the debris bag installation at all. Trading Standards should see this...
Hi Nicholas, I can confirm that the leaves were damp as we just had the wettest period in many years. It is never a good idea to use a non-commercial electric vacuum anyway on wet leaves. With regard to the shoe lace and the collection bag, I do understand where you are coming from and it can work loose especially when the bag is full and heavy. It is possible however to tie it more tightly to prevent it from slipping away from the device.
Be quicker just raking it all up
IMHO: DONT BY THIS ITEM!!!
It will only work well on perfectly light, correctly sized and completely dry leaves.
I am baffled that 3000W doesn't create stronger suction / blow.
The suction is so poor, I put my hand in front to see if there was any suction. You can barely feel the suction with your hand.
I am baffled that so many people rate this product high.
The type of leaves it will collect, would be very easy to collect with a rake.
If you are reasonably fit, save the environment, get some exercise, save your money, and don't by this item.
Nothing against the reviewer. But, yes, ... in my view it is misleading, as this product is not as great as it comes across in the review.
