Craftsman Yard Vacuum

A neighbor is moving and lent me his Craftsman Yard Vacuum to try to entice me into buying it. I used it for about two hours and filled the 2 bushel bag 5 times. I estimate that the mulched leaves would have been the equivalent of about 20 garbage bags full. It did a pretty good job, especially since the leaves had gotten wet and embedded in the grass. I had one of the boys go behind me and rake loose the leaves it did not pick up and they were easily sucked up the second time around. I then used the hose attachment to clean out my window wells and the landscaped areas around the house.

It did a pretty good job. We have a couple of mature trees and the next door neighbor has a couple of sycamore trees that drop leaves for a couple of months. With a rake it is a never ending job and the many many bags of leaves that have to be disposed of one way or another. This yard vacuum mulches them pretty well so that there are much fewer bags to deal with.
