6 Reasons Homeowners Are Switching To This Lawn Tool And Ditching The Rake, The Leaf Blower And The Painful Bending

Setting the mower to mulch works on grass. It does very little to pine needles and pine straw, and nothing at all to acorns, sweetgum balls, magnolia pods or walnut hulls. They are hard, they are round, and a blade just moves them. They roll away from a rake instead of gathering, which is why they are still in the lawn in spring. The Sweep does not cut anything. Three V-shaped brushes lift it off the grass and throw it back into the hopper.

Nothing on it is powered. The wheels turn the brushes, and they turn them fast: one turn of the wheels spins the brushes five times. So you walk at a normal pace and the brushes are moving quick enough to flick debris up off the grass. It weighs 29.77 lb and you supply the power. If pushing a mower is already too much, this will be too.

Gas, cord or battery, a blower does one thing: it relocates the problem to a spot you then have to kneel next to. You are not buying horsepower. You are buying the half of the job that happens after the pile exists, and that half has always been done by hand. The Sweep skips the pile entirely. There is nothing to come back to, because the debris went into a 7 cubic foot hopper while you were still walking.

Blow the leaves into a pile. Rake what the blower missed. Then bend down, forty or fifty times, scooping armfuls into a bag that will not stay open. Then do it again next Saturday because more came down overnight. That is four separate motions to move leaves about twenty feet. If your back hurts from bending and raking leaves, that is the part this removes. Not the walking. The bending.

Acorns and gum balls sit down in the grass, so the brushes have to come down to meet them. Fine clippings on a thick lawn want them higher, where they flick instead of drag. The lever on the side of the deck moves the brushes through ten positions, and you work it by hand with no tool to go and find. Height is also what decides how hard it is to push. Too low and the brushes fight the ground the whole way. Set right and they roll.
