I read all the reviews and most are pretty spot on. The assembly instructions are kinda lousy and Im convinced they missed a step. That said, I was able to figure it out. As others mentioned, if your grass height is uneven, you will have to raise and lower the height to make it work. That said, it does work and it actually works a little better than I anticipated. Some complained about the hopper filling up too quickly but it’s pretty large and if it’s filling up quick, I guess that means the machine is doing its job. Unlike others, I found the hopper very easy to remove, empty and replace. It’s arguable whether or not this is faster than just raking leaves but it is definitely easier on your hands. Happy with my purchase, only owned for a day so let’s see how long it lasts but it seems reasonably well built. Comes with a wall bracket for easy storage.

Works well for larger leaves. Not able to pick up small bits of leaves but removal of larger leaves is a huge part of the job ot takes care of.

Does exactly what it states. We use it mainly to pick up the leaves from our linden trees, that fall profusely onto a dirt road. We also use it to pick up leaves from australia trees that fall onto a tenis court with a concrete floor. You have to adjust the height of the sweeper for the diferent leaves and floor type but once you dial in the correct height you just have to push the cart forward and empty the leaves. The buil quality is good. We can't yet asses the durability as we have just recently bought it.
