Not built to withstand the test of time....unfortunately [Posted on 2008-08-05] When I saw this item and read the 2 prior, more glowing reviews I was thrilled as we were looking for one of these. Sadly, once it arrived it quickly became evident that this item was not built with quality or durability in mind. Without even assembling the item you get the sense it's very cheaply made. All the supplied hardware is plastic, and most all the places where 2 parts meet it's plastic meeting plastic (save the thin metal handles). Brushes are big plastic "combs". The catcher bag is thin tarp material and is very small- if you use this for leaf pickup unless your yard is 10x10 if you have even a couple of trees you will be emptying this every few steps. When I unpacked it the bag already had unstitched or torn in the corners. My sense is that after a few uses this thing will be useless-one crack in the plastic where there is stress under use and it will be at the curb with the rest of the trash. Save the money-even for light duty, I would not recommend. We sent ours back today. First item I have ever sent back to Amazon. Maybe one day I will find an old used one from the 70s at a garage sale-one that's made of metal and canvas with a LARGE catcher that will stand up to the task. Gave it 2 stars instead of one since it may actually pick items up-though we never tried.
Does a good job [Posted on 2008-08-29] Vendor is excellent and product was delivered fast. I rated this product 4 stars because the catcher is make out of plastic and I'll need to keep patching it over time. However, it works great. After trimming my shrubs, I rake the cutting out on to mulch and grass and this thing does a good job of picking everything up without a lot of effort. Then I simply dump the bag of debre into a bag for curbside pickup.
Works great, very light! [Posted on 2008-09-06] Great product for the money.
Works best on short grass. Gets harder to push as the grass gets higher.
Suf [Posted on 2008-10-03] This item is what I was looking for and though it is all plastic it should hold up for several years if it's stored properly. It doesn't pick up all the leaves but does a good enough job that I can mow the remaining ones with the grass. It helped me tremendously since I was not able to keep up with the leaves this year and they all fell before I had a chance to get to them. I never could have mowed them up and raking them and picking them up would have been quite hard on the back. It's not like the old ones I remember seeing growing up but it works and is easy to use. Thank you for selling it with free shipping.
Back Saver [Posted on 2008-10-09] The sweeper does almost everything advertised. It picks up clippings and other debris from the lawn very well and really saves the bending and stooping. I only wish it did the same on the hard surfaces like sidewalks and driveways. The video I watched showed that it would but when I tried it it would only pick up bulky items like cans, not leaves and sticks. However; I am very pleased with the sweeper.
