Spectrum SP6501VC 196cc Walk-Behind Petrol Leaf Vacuum
Make light work of heavy autumn clear-ups with the Spectrum SP6501VC 196cc Walk-Behind Petrol Leaf Vacuum. Designed for large gardens, estates, pathways and commercial outdoor spaces, this powerful self-propelled machine combines strong suction performance with easy, controlled operation.
Powered by a dependable 196cc petrol engine, the SP6501VC uses a hydrostatic variable-speed drive with twist-grip control, allowing you to adjust your travelling speed smoothly as you work. Its specially designed ultra-quiet fan system delivers powerful collection performance while helping to keep operating noise to a minimum.
Collected leaves and garden debris are stored in the generous 240-litre dust bag, significantly reducing the amount of time spent stopping to empty the machine. Adjustable side vents give you greater control over airflow and dust, while the automatic-return valve helps maintain efficient operation.
For areas that are difficult to reach with the main vacuum head, the SP6501VC also includes a suction hose and blower hose assembly, making it ideal for clearing around borders, walls, steps, corners and other confined areas.
