Craftsman 42" High Speed Lawn Sweeper —
I've had this sweeper going on three years now. I just ordered a new set of brushes and chains for this spring season. I have 3 acres on my place with both pine and oak trees. This sweeper picks them both up with ease and most of the time it does it in one sweep. What use to take me two weeks in the fall with a rake I can now get done with my Sears sweeper in about 5 or 6 hours. Once you learn to back it up it is a cinch to dump. It only takes me about 30 seconds or less now to dump and I'm on my way to a new load. I avoid wet leaves because they are hard to sweep and are heavy on the hopper so I don't sweep my yard unless the leaves are dry. I debated on buying a new Sears sweeper this year over repairing this one but this sweeper was still in fair shape so I opted over the $45 in parts which should give me at least another two years. I'm certainly satisfied with this sweeper and I would recommend it to anyone looking to save them lots of time and work. You can't go wrong. I looked at both ***** and ********** and I liked the Sears quality and warranty the best.
