carlyai Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I was thinking of buying my wife a leaf blower/sucker for Chrissy. Anyone an experience with a good brand of battery blower? One bought from Global House would be handy, but any with I suppose a 32V battery, great suction or blowing power and lightweight. Red ones run better but the colour doesn't matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leaf blower as a christmas present for a femail...I,ve heard it all now.....if he gave her a handbag as well I think it would end up being swiped around his earhole.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfHuy Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Get her this one. It "blows", not sure about the sucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me giving her a mop and bucket or an iron would show loads of sentiment for Chrissy. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so fast. Reminds me of the year (2010 I think) I bought the girlfriend at that time, now the wife, what was initially to her a rather disappointing Christmas present...a tumble dryer! On the face of it, yeah, not particularly romantic. However it wasn't meant to be a romantic gift but a practical one. Within a few weeks she'd conceded that it was probably the best gift she'd ever been given. Even the (now) MIL agreed. Reason being that she'd always had our restaurant tablecloths sent to be washed on a daily basis and most days she'd run out of clean tablecloths. With the tumble dryer she could wash and dry as often as necessary during the day but the real clincher was the Bt300/day cost saving. Within 12 weeks that Bt25,000 tumble dryer had payed for itself and was still going strong before Covid lockdown. Roughly, a saving of just over Bt1 million. Actually, I think I'll remind her of that today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalabob2 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have owned a Milwaukee 18 volt garden blower for several years. No repairs have been necessary. Frankly my wife was angry that I did not bring her a dependable battery garden blower much sooner. It saves her hours of raking leaves. It was NOT a Christmas present. Milwaukee Tools in Thailand now has at least two series of 18 volt batteries and several models. 18 volt 3.Ah 18 volt 5.0 Ah 18 volt 8 Ah 18 volt 12Ah batteries are available in Thailand. I did NOT ask the Buriram Tool store employee about the sucking ability. I have seen petrol leaf blowers that also could be leaf vacuums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
