Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As someone who takes care of lawns as a side job, I was looking for something to make the process faster and easier so that I can be home with my family. When I saw this product I was intrigued. After reading many mixed reviews I thought I would give this product a shot. Here is what I discovered after using this product this fall: The overall build quality needs to be better. It feels a little rickety while with some pretty loose tolerances throughout the whole assembly. The plastic wheels are not the easiest to push, especially through grass that is slightly long. The height adjustment knob is a nice feature that is easy to use and makes the process easier when sweeping in deeper grass or through piles of leaves. The basket that leaves go in is made of good, sturdy material that seems like it will hold up pretty well. Attaching it to the frame is very easy but the cross arm meant to aid in the emptying of the leaves could be more ergonomic. Your back will get tired after trying to pick this up and empty the leaves into bags, if you are using bags. Finally, the sweeper works great and will sweep leaves into the basket quite easily. If you adjust the height and maintain your speed you can pick up leaves easier than you could with a rake. This does not take the place of the rake however. You will not be able to pick up leaves that are up close to buildings for trees so you must rake the leaves into the path and then use the sweeper to pick them up. I must say, for someone who has a bad back, this makes the process of picking up leaves a lot easier. Instead of working up a sweat while twisting and straining my back most all I have to do now is walk behind this thing and let it do most of the work. Yes I still have to do a little raking and it doesn’t necessarily make the process faster but it does make it easier, allowing me to be able to work longer without hurting myself. I would recommend this product to anyone who want to make their yardwork easier on themselves.
