I want to use it to clean leaves on the rock garden. Is this powerful enough to do that?

I use mine to clean up pine needles and does a great job. I have 3 battery's I keep charged.

I think the answer is a qualified "yes." Don't expect a wind tunnel from this product. It's for light use. How useful it is would depend a lot on the size of the leaves and if they are water-logged. I enjoy the fact that it gets leaves and other blown-in things hiding in the landscaping or under a table or in a crack in the sidewalk. Forget it if you plan to collect autumn leaves with it; it's not strong enough for that. I use it in lieu of a broom.

I don't really have any leaves. But id say if you wanted decent blowing power go with a gas blower. You want something strong enough to move leaves when wet and I can guarantee this blower won't. I use this to clear grass clippings and that's about all.

It is def powerful enough but i would advise against unless its for removing tile. If you are cutting tile finish work use a tile saw

Yes. I have used it for leaves, small twigs and branches. I have run branches up to about 3/4 of an inch. It is very easy to clear if it clogs.

Pretty good. I use it often and it easily moves leaves, twigs and smaller rocks. If you have tan bark it'll completely blow that away so be careful.

I have used it half a dozen times. Mostly in an above ground garden that is soft dirt. I did use it to clear our about 200 square feet of grass to lay mulch. It did it like a champ. It does clog up around the tines quickly if there is a lot of root being tilled. I love it for the purpose it serves me.

In my experience, yes, it is very effective on roots. But I've had saw blades seriously dulled on rocks when cutting close to the ground.

I don't know. Never tried it. I don't think that is what it was designed for. It worked fine for blowing leaves and light sand.

It is very powerful and I have had several. I have used it to suck up acorns. I am sure it will. Great value.

When I used mine the leaves were not wet. My guess is that it will not be a good idea for a lot of really wet leaves. Also, there is a note on page 16 of the Owner's Manual that says the machine is designed for dry material only and do not use it for green material.

I have not used it on rocky soil. If the rocks are large I would not use it. If the rocks are small (like gravel) and the soil is damp, then it would be good. This tool loosens soil, it does not turn it over like a roto tiller. Probably a roto tiller would be better for very rocky soil.

yes it may suck in small leaves but any heavy leaf debris it cannot deal with. It is only a small apparatus.

If the rock is fairly small then YES it would work great! We use ours in the rock & grass at our home.

It works very well with small rocks (2-3inched) and root filled soil. I use branch cutters to cut large roots that the tiller digs up.

It will pick up dirt, loose pebbles, and leaves. I have been very pleased with it.

I love mine, but we don't have a lot of leaves. It picks up what leaves we do have, and the sand. Just make sure you clean it after every use.

Love mine! I use it to clear the sidewalk after mowing and getting leaves off the deck. It's not great for piles of leaves though not enough power. I have the weed eater and the blower and batteries are interchangeable. For lots of leaves you need a more powerful blower.
