On offer this thursday:

Anyone have one, any good? What are the two tubes out the front, I
guess the larger is blow, the smaller suck and there are manaul flaps
to control the function? Does the debris picked up have to pass
through the fan/mulcher?

It looks like a "venturi effect" vac.
The air is blown down the small tube and then jetted back up the large tube
creating suction at the end.
There is no reason why the debris has to go through the fan on these.
To mulch the stuff they probably have a removable strimmer type of thing at
the top of the big tube.
