Garden fans can save £27 on 'game changer' leaf blower this autumn with little-known deal

The leaf blower has been brilliant at tidying up my garden - and there's a way to get it for less

I'd never really thought about purchasing a leaf blower until I received one as a birthday gift this year. Now, it feels indispensable for my gardening tasks.

Before, I would just sweep up the stray leaves when I felt like it, but that changed when I discovered that’s been a total game-changer. Plus, there's a nifty deal currently available where shoppers can save up to £27 on the RRP price of the Challenge Corded Leaf Blower and Garden Vac, thanks to TopCashback.

It's typically priced at £50 but currently has a 20% discount, reducing it to £40. Even better, by signing up to TopCashback, new Argos customers can effectively get it for £23 after cashback, while existing Argos customers can get it for £24.67 after cashback.

To get the discounted product through TopCashback, shoppers need to sign up here, search for Argos, click 'Get Cashback Now', and then proceed with their purchase (more detailed step-by-step instructions are provided at the end of this article).

The cashback and bonus will appear in shoppers' TopCashback accounts within seven days of the purchase. Having used the leaf blower for a few weeks now, I've found it incredibly useful for cleaning up garden debris, whether from hedge trimming, lawn mowing, or clearing fallen leaves.

The vacuum cleaner truly excels at gobbling up foliage, easily discarding the waste with a simple unzip of its collection bag. When it comes to blowing away debris, it certainly delivers a robust performance, whisking away clippings without breaking a sweat.

One aspect I find absolutely sensational is its ability to deftly handle hedge trimmings scattered over gravel. Dealing with an irritating gravel patch that turns sweeping into a big task, the vacuum provides just the perfect level of pull to clear the trimmings without bothering the pebbles. It's been a game-changer.

The added convenience of built-in wheels makes navigating through your garden a breeze while also giving your shoulders a break during extended chores. It's worth mentioning, though, that as the bag fills, it can get a bit heavy.

If grip strength is a concern, this might not be your ideal gardening companion. But fear not, the accompanying shoulder strap is there to ease the load, and on the whole, I deem it a solid piece of equipment for the cost.

The product has amassed quite the fanbase on Argos, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars. A satisfied customer gushed: "I share a large communal garden. Loads of fallen leaves from mature trees. This leaf blower took it in its stride! Excellent product."

It has wheels to help

One chuffed customer raved: "I bought this to clear my back garden and reduce the number of leaves my pup brings in to play with, it does an excellent job much to the pup's disappointment."

Yet another buyer voiced a word of caution, saying: "I bought this 3 weeks ago, The noise was too loud and disturbing. I had to return it."

If you're willing to spend more then Screwfix is selling the Titan 2-Stroke Blower Vac for £109.99, boasting the nifty feature of being cordless a godsend if you're nowhere near a plug socket. Over on Amazon, they have the best-selling VonHaus Leaf Blower that features a 10m cable and comes with a price tag of £44.99.

TopCashback has garnered a stellar 4.5 out of 5-star average rating on Trustpilot, based on nearly 150,000 reviewers singing its praises. However, not everyone's thrilled, some grumble about tracking hiccups and delayed cashback payments from merchants.
