t last, the longer, lighter evenings are here and we finally have a chance to start enjoying our gardens and outdoor spaces. All we really need is the warmer weather to hit and suddenly customers will be looking to invest in the latest garden gadgets and outdoorsy appliances. Electrical retailers may not be the first place people think of to shop for these, but over the years dealers have diversified and started offering different solutions. And with such a blend of interior and exterior home spaces these days, there’s no reason why shopfloor space can’t be dedicated solely to Summertime sales…
A Cleaning
First of all, you always have to get the garden ready for guests, and customers are looking for solutions to keeping their patios, gutters and facias in tip top condition. This will always be a breeze with the right appliance. Known for its 140-year heritage in floorcare, British brand Ewbank, available exclusively in the UK via Bluestem Group, offers its newly-released MULTISWEEP Push Sweeper (EWPSM020). From sweeping up Autumn leaves, clearing fallen petals from the lawn, or removing debris from the garage, it’s designed for both indoor and outdoor use on multiple surfaces, including lawns, decking, artificial grass, play areas, warehouses, driveways. The MULTISWEEP’s manual push-along operation means it doesn’t need to be connected to a power source, therefore it costs nothing to run and has no need for cumbersome, restrictive cables. Also from Ewbank, the AQUABLAST 160 Bar
Pressure Washer (EW6160) offers versatility as well as power, plus a whole host of accessories – there’s a patio brush, a rotating brush and a turbo nozzle, but also a Snow Foam attachment, which makes light work of cleaning the family car!
As well as effortlessly blasting dirt away
from patios, decking and driveways, the AQUABLAST160 will also clean house exteriors and clear out blocked gutters in a flash. And for those Sunday afternoon car cleans,
there are solutions as well, such as Ewbank’s AIRWAND Handheld Vacuum (EWVC0602) – great for keeping car interiors spotless, whether it’s crumbs in the seats, dust on the dashboard, or debris in tight crevices. Featuring a brushless DC motor, it delivers powerful suction with two speed settings, including a boost mode. The LED digital display keeps users informed on battery life and power settings, while the washable HEPA filter efficiently captures fine particles. Compact and lightweight, it’s also ideal for caravans and motorhomes with limited storage space. Similarly, for quick and thorough clean-ups, Ewbank’s HYDROSPOT Compact Cleaner tackles spills, stains and dirt on car seats, upholstery, carpets and floor mats. With a built-in heating system that heats water in just 15 seconds, the HYDROSPOT delivers a powerful clean, plus the extra-long 1.7 metre hose makes it easy to reach into your car’s interior. Elsewhere, from Bosch, is the AdvancedAquatak 140 pressure washer – designed to clean hard, stubborn dirt on a range of surfaces, including large cars, patios and driveways. A range of nozzles and a 140-bar pump offer versatile cleaning power, while the high-pressure hose reel makes set-up stress-free and the large wheels and metal telescopic handle also offer great mobility for easier use around the house.
