We’d probably consider it a little odd for someone to clean their carpets manually when there are perfectly good vacuum cleaners available for such a job; if nothing else it would be time consuming and inefficient. But if you wouldn’t wander around your home gathering dust and debris by hand, why would you consider doing so outdoors (which is typically more spacious than indoors anyhow)? Ariens’ hand-propelled All-Purpose Vacuum Cleaner (APV) thus provides a fantastic alternative to rakes or litter pickers when clearing rubbish, leaves and debris from medium to large outdoor areas, quickly gathering all loose detritus to leave forecourts, lawns, yards and driveways pleasingly spotless.

This hand-propelled model is particularly handy when working in areas replete with trees, flowerbeds or other obstacles which necessitate the kind of close control which manual steering provides. With its large (35.5cm) solid rubber wheels providing increased manoeuvrability on all surfaces, Ariens’ hand-propelled APV thus allows you to work at a pace which suits you and ensures that you can clear debris from tricky parts of your property with the minimum of hassle. And with suction power delivered by a hardworking 190cc Subaru overhead cam engine for guaranteed smooth-running performance, this machine can produce an impressive maximum flow rate of around 14 litres per second.

When combined with a working width of 78.7cm and a 34cm fived-bladed impeller fan with serrated edges, designed to reduce the space taken up by collected debris by a ratio of 12:1 in order to maximise collection capacity, this means that Ariens’ All-Purpose Vacuum Cleaner is a sucker you can trust to get any outdoor clearance work done with optimal efficiency. Leaves and debris collected are stored in a zipperless, fastener-free, wire-formed 195 litre bag made from a durable poly-felt material, featuring an integrated dust skirt to protect the operator from seepage during use. This ensures that even in the dustiest environment you will be able to work in complete comfort, quickly tidying everything from dirt and sand to grass clippings and litter without choking on clouds of dust kicked up by the fan.

Similar user-friendliness is in evidence throughout the design of Ariens’ APV unit, with a 17 position suction height adjustment system allowing you to quickly and easily adapt the working height via a single lever. This ensures optimal performance regardless of the surface upon which you are working, while the Rite-Hite handlebar offers five different settings (three operating positions and two storage options) for outstanding convenience both while in use and during downtime. Built to offer a great combination of value for money and long-lasting performance, Ariens’ All-Purpose Vacuum Cleaner even comes with a limited one year consumer warranty to help ensure complete peace of mind, so private and commercial users alike would do well to invest in this machine for all of their outdoor debris clearance needs.
