GARDENA Manual Lawn and Leaf Collector Sweeper, Large Bag | 03565

Easy to assemble and this thing works great, even on slightly damp leaves. The catcher attaches and detaches easily and it's easy to dump the leaves in to a bin (haven't tried into a yard bag yet). The adjustable height is a great feature, as is the small footprint storage (stores vertically). As you can see in the photos, 90%+ of the leaves get scooped up with each pass. Thumbs up!

It is probably faster to use than a lawn mower with a bag, but it didn't pick up enough leaves to be worth the time spent even on a lowered setting. I had to make multiple passes or go back and forth over the same area. I ended up getting a used billy goat lawn vac.

I have a large back lot and gets covered with pecan leaves. This collector makes short work of cleaning up in just a few minutes! Works kind of like a small version of a columbine. Only problem I found is on the Saint Augustine grass will grab some of the loose runners and wraps around the brushes. But easy enough to remove in between runs. Overall I highly recommend. No more spending hours raking or blowing the leaves around.

It is easy to put together.
I needed something to pick up pine needles and this does a great job.
It took me a lot less time to clean up my yard than using a rake and I don't have to bend over so much. This is important for an older person, which I am one😂.
The only criticism is that if the lawn is uneven does not pick up the pine needles well

Three points. Robust construction, Easy straightforward assembly, And works very well.

This was much more complicated to put together than I thought. The instructions were provided in at least 20 different languages but only a half page in English that was so small I could hardly read it. Whoever translated it obviously didn't think in English, reminding me of some Japanese products that were translated literally with a dictionary in hand. This picks up dry leaves if they fell with no branches attached and no setting to gather the acorns. There is scant capacity for serious leaves. If you blow the leaves into a pile and pick out the larger branches it will pick up leaves, but I don't think it will save any time.

Love it so far, I’ve only used it once, but it actually worked, it’s lightweight and stores vertically to save space. Two thumbs up!

I purchased this equipment to use as part of my land design business that I just started and it has worked out great!

It really works great when it is adjusted to the right height of the grass, but when you come to some area where the grass is lower, you then have to adjust the height again, which is very annoying. If it had a better height adjustment control, I give 6 stars.

I have not used it yet

I've wanted one of these for a while. I am very glad I chose this one - it is lightweight and has long bristles that are nicely adjustable for varying lawn heights and evenness as well as leaves on pathways. Is it one push and done? No - neither is the rake, blower, or vacuum and I have all three of those. I don't mind a back and forth as long as I'm not needing to throw my shoulders into it, strain my back with repetitive motion, and retain the energy to go back days later when the rest of the leaves fall.

The first time I used it , it didn't work that good. but after mowing the lawn the next the leaves fell it worked like a dream. So if you have trouble try mowing her lawn and trying again.

After reading the reviews I was sure I would be returning it, but I had to try it out of desperation. I have 13 mature oak trees that I battle every fall to clean up the leaves. This thing was amazing. It works great at picking up leaves and twigs. I also can use it to clear my driveway and deck. All I have to do is adjust the height. From the reviews I thought that was going to be difficult, but it is actually really easy to adjust. I am so glad I took a chance and ordered this. The only down side is that I thought it might mulch the leaves which it does not, but no biggy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It is lightwieght and very easy to manuever.

This makes cleaning up leaves too much easier than raking

This item more than met my expectations, granted it is a little tiresome changing the height due to high or low grass but other than that it worked extremely well.

Works okay for picking up a thin layer of leaves, but the collector jams up quickly when you try to push it through a thick layer, even at the highest setting.

I was skeptical before I purchased this, but I was pleasantly surprised with it. It works really well, assuming you have it adjusted properly. I am taking off one star because I wish the bag were bigger. It fills up too fast if you have a yard with a lot of leaves. But I would definitely recommend buying it. Makes cleaning up leaves so much easier.

My husband was skeptical of this... but after a few uses, he has been converted! We live in the woods, so we get A LOT of leaves. For the purposes of cleaning our yard, he says this is not practical, since he has to empty it after every pass. It fills up really quickly. However, when he uses the leaf blower, there's a lot of stragglers. He LOVES this for after he leaf blows. It picks up the straggling leaves well. He particularly likes it for the edges and edging. It's much easier to control. Now that he did the big clean up with the leaf blower, he'll use this to keep the leaves under control until snowfall. It eliminates a lot of time doing the fine tune leaf clean up with the rake; this cuts that time by a lot!

Easy to use.

Works well at work with the leaves all covering the side walks and parking lot.

Works great. A great value. Store in a small space.

I like the product it’s a great concept, but the material used to make it is plastic so it bends easily. I had to duct tape the handle. But it works.

Item appears new, works fine so far. Only complaint, packaging box somewhat damaged and possibly opened. Warranty is 5 years and added protection plan so we’ll see what happens.

This item had great reviews but did not perform as described. Was easy to put together. It did not pick the leaves up well. When it did pick up the leaves stayed towards the front of the basket and had to keep pushing leaves back but would continue to fall back. Little twigs kept getting caught on the brushes and then they would not turn. I was working harder at getting twigs out and pushing leaves back. It ended up being more work than it was worth so after about 30 minutes I stopped using it and got my rake. It is being returned.

Saves time! Would highly recommend🤗

Works well, except if leaves are damp.

So nice to use, picks up leave well and what a good form of exercise

I was a little confused with the height setting but once that was set correctly the unit worked great.

My husband and my daughter say this works great. It picks up 99% of the leaves on the first-over

I think if it would�'ve cost less money, I may have kept it, but it was too expensive not to be able to work well
