Advice Re Garden Vacuum/leaf Blower

[Stargazer]

Can anyone offer any advice on reliability of particular manufacturers or models? I have a Ryobi which has just packed up (motor gone) and would have got another but my model has been discontinued. It needs to be lightweight and electric. It is hard to tell how to choose one so any advice much appreciated.

I have Tesco own make. I bought it when on offer for £30 (I think the usual price is £40). It has a cord so I use it with an extension lead to increase length. Very happy with it.
