Right hopefully this might stay in GG for longer than 2 mins!.......

Shirley everyone has one of these in the garage & my old cheapo one has bust. But do I go premium?

I'm tempted by a stihl one simply as it'd look sweet next to my stihl leef blower, but it doesn't do anything more than the £100 jobs from b&q & halfords & to be fair to the cheapo one it lasted 6 years.

The only thing that did my head in on the old one was a hose that was a nightmare to store away (not bendy enough) & a lack of a patio cleaner. Not huge would be a bonus & I'm not sure if any of them come with a snow foam thingy, just a load of brush attachments that I'll never use.

Any tips?

That's the thing isn't it? I half expect the cheapo ones to last just as long as the expensive. The only bonus with stihl is I can get my local repair shop to fix it should it go tits up (probably for the cost of another cheapo one!).
