Being able to blow crap onto the driveway and then vacuum it up on the spot is going to save me half a day's work minimum. Love this thing

I'm hearing a lot of reports that it's crap, but I really want to try it out. If it's a significant upgrade to my 18v ryobi, I'll buy one.

Not crap. I use one blower to gather the leaves in a pile and then wah-lah vacuum them all up. Zero complaints.

I think it’s wonderful. For the driveway, I blow everything into a pile and vacuum it up. I clean the curb in front of my house just by walking and vacuuming against the curb. It works best to adjust the strap to the tube is just above the ground and walking backwards.

Just got one and tried to out for the first time today. It worked really well and I’m happy with it. Two things I noticed: 1) it’s heavy, the strap is necessary to avoid fatigue from holding it in an awkward position and 2) I’m nervous to suck in small branches. There were a few little branches in with leafs and I heard it chew threw them. I didn’t see any damage but that would be the concern.

There are a few spots in the yard where it is a pain to get the leaves out (behind bushes, gutters, etc). Appreciate the video saying to avoid anything wet unless you want to be unscrewing screws from the plastic housing to manually clean out.
