We have about 1 acre with pine trees, coastal oaks and the dreaded 'trees of heaven'. While we love the home and garden, every November we don't look forward to the amount of work required to keep the lot fire safe and free of leaves. We'd spend weekends raking up nearly 1 ton of garden waste, piling... review »

Missing several parts

When I received this I was excited as I mow 3 acres of grass and have dozens of mature trees that drop their leaves in the fall. The idea is great but the assembly is awful. Many bolts and brackets were not in the box so I had to make 4 trips to the hardware store to pickup bolts or things to fabricate... review »

Almost no more raking

First off it does not weigh 1000 pounds but it does weigh close to 300 pounds. It is shipped in two cartons although the larger carton is extremely heavy. It was all the Sears employee and I could do to load it into my truck. The bottom of the box was close to coming apart. At home I just unloaded it one piece at a time. Yes assembly is required of almost everything. The only thing you don't have to assemble is the motor and blower - they come all bolted together which makes for a heavy assembly- you might need help to get this bolted up to the cart's tongue. It will go a lot faster with a fully... review »

This thing is huge and heavy. It takes a LONG time to put together - if you're GOOD at putting things together. Mine came with one of the sidepanels completely bent. I debated about returning it, but ended up beating it back to shape with some blocks and hammer. Once I got it going, I realized very quick that it would have no problems sucking up almost anything that could fit in the tube. It works GREAT. I have an insane amount of leafs to clean up every fall, and this makes it a breeze. I have a lot of trees to drive around which can be very difficult due to the enormous size of this thing. But... review »

If you have leaves....

2.5 acres and whatever is lawn has many many trees around it. Fall cleanup usually takes tarp after tarp full of leaves and dragging them off into the woods. With this sweeper it becomes a clean and thorough job. What I appreciate most is that it sucks up the acorns and hickory nuts that make it impossible to grow grass around the trees. Don't fool yourself it will still take some effort even with the sweeper. It is a beast of a machine and requires some setup and teardown for each use. You will also want a place to store it - it does take up some space. The only negative is with the attachment... review »

Pays for itself

I have around 1 acre with 10 large silver maples (propellers and massive amounts of leaves) and I have historically used a 3 bin bagger. The bagger takes me approximately 16 hours to pick up all the leaves in my lawn and about 160 bags! Using the vacuum I did my yard in 2 hours and I am spoiled. Putting together took some time but overall was straightforward. It is a good idea to measure 3 times and cut once on the deck adapter since accounting for curves in your cutting deck is tricky at best. Even if you cut it poorly the vacuum has enough suction to pull all the clippings and the clippings stuff... review »

Overall not happy

NOV

I have many trees and cannot use this behind the mower as the hose gets in the way, and the cart can be unstable on unlevel ground. The hose seems to clog quite often, requiring the clamp to be removed and the hose cleaned out by hand. I do have a lot of pine straw and maybe it might work better on leaves. It will take you a day to put together, as the only part that does not have to be put together piece by piece is the engine (although you do have to attach it to the cart with somewhat vague instructions). I ordered the optional hose and 6 weeks later it is still on backorder.

Yard Vac

NOV

2006
With just over an acre of land surrounded by trees I spent many hours in the fall cleaning up leaves. I used everything to make the job easier but buying the yard vac was the best decision I have ever made. You need a tractor that can pull it and a place to store but after one pass across the leaf covered yard your hooked. I can now clean the entire yard covered in leaves in no time at all. Features I like: large capacity bin, easy dumping, great suction. I wish I bought this 6 years ago. I now plan to buy the wand.

After assembly I waxed the inside of the trailer . still difficult to unload ,I sewed a" blanket "to line the trailer, now I just slide out the load like a bale of hay . Nice machine and it works well.It is large and tongue heavy ,I have added a handle and a jack. Wear your earplugs and smile ,you'll be the envy of the neighborhood.I'm looking forward to a lot less work this autumn and years to come .

DO NOT buy this piece of equipment unless you are a mechanic. It weighs about 1,000 lbs and comes in 300 pieces. Sears DOES NOT ASSEMBLE LAWN EQUIPMENT. Sears.com said that I am responsible for mailing it back. IT NEEDS A FORKLIFT TO GET IT ON A TRUCK!!!!!!! Buying lawn equipment from Sears.com would not be recommended by me.

this does a very good job. the hardest thing to do is cutting the deck attachment to fit the mowing deck. the machine does an excelent job once you get that done. saves alot of back breaking work and blisters on your hands. wished I would have bought the vacuum hose attachment too. that will be my next purchase.

Lawn Vac

Best machine I've ever purchased. I used to spend days upon days raking leaves and cleaning the bushes. I've cut my time down by over 80%. All my neighbors think it's the greatest thing ever. P.S. assembly is required but it's not difficult at all. It takes time but is easy to do!
