does the vacuum work well with wet leaves?

Not really, no blower or vac will since they pack down and won't blow easily or be picked up well. Blowing them into a pile which fluffs them up some and then sucking up the pile works reasonably well, the wet leaves don't clog the impeller but may clog the entry to the bag if you don't keep it straight.

A wet/dry vacuum can be used with wet leaves, but it might clog up in no time. My best solution so far: let leaves dry the stuff into any leaf bag (for your town to collect weekly).

Yes. Obviously it works better on dry leaves but it works pretty well with wet ones too.

Works awesome on leaves, but will also clog when leaves are wet. The tube has a spinning indicator that helps you determine when bags are filling. With my Husqvarna mower, I can reach behind me and feel these nylon bags getting full. Stop and empty before over filling. The tube will get full and you may have to remove it, but that's easy to do. The unit was super easy to install, also.

Hi This is Steve at Aqua Products, This unit is indeed designed to vacuum debris including leaves, loose algae and sand. Be sure to empty the bag often. Note: Some stubborn debris that sticks to the bottom may benefit from units that Scrub or those that have Power Washing Jets - these help loosen that debris and vacuum it up more efficiently. If you would like more information please reach out to me at sferry@aquaproducts.com

because the chute is small the leaves easily clog up when wet. also the chute doesn't throw the debris out far enough so you are constantly cleaning out the chute no matter what you chop up. otherwise the machine performs well. i also recommend the electric starter.

It will pick up small leaves but I think if there are going to be a lot of leaves you would have to pull it out and clear the filter now and then. The filter is a pull out tray so it's easy to do. I find the SharkVac does not alway pick up heavier items that might be sitting on the bottom however, so I usually go after those with the net.

Yes only when picking up dry stuff (will pickup dirt without bags). When picking up wet you do not use the bag. I have used it without the bag for dry stuff and I just throw the dirt away and rinse it. Very good vacuum.

I have not had a problem with wet things including water, the trick to this vacuum is to keep the filter clean. if the filter is clean then all is well

It's a great way to get a lot of leaves out of any pool, without using the filter. Perfect for opening the pool and finding lots of leaves. Not a good vacuum for little stuff and has minimal brushes, but super at getting impossible wet leaves out.

It does but I don't recommend this item. The suction is not as strong as it should be and leaves items very wet.

In my limited experience, if the pine needles are dry, it does OK. It gets stuck alot if they are wet. It is not a vacuum cleaner but does OK in picking up some of our pine needles. Works great on leaves, even if they are not entirely dry.

Great blower, not so much for vacuum. It does not mulch much, most leaves stay intact. It just sucks the leaves in a very small bag that fills up fast. It never clogged though, I used a different bag from an older mulcher that attached to a trash can and it helped. Would definitely recommend for the blower, not the vacuum.

No, it doesn't. I would recommend this vacuum for cleaning chop saws and table saws plus the surround work area at the end of the day. It has just enough power to suck up and or blow out saw dust and other small debris at a very close range. Will not work well at clearing a deck of pine needles research other dewalt vacuum with more oomph

Have not used as a vacuum. Doubt it will pick up heavier pieces easily. Might pick up some mulch with the leaves.

No. I've never used it as a wet vac--only in my shop for attaching to tools and clean-up--works great for that.

Any vacuum that is wet-dry will pick up liquids just fine. The filter should not be in the vac when used for liquids. Just get the size of vac that meets your needs.

I have used this unit to remove leaves quite successfully from my lawn. The only drawback is that the battery does not last very long.

It doesn't suck up large leaves and occasionally a leaf will get stuck and cause the creepy to stop sucking, so you have to pull out the leaves in order for it to resume cleaning. It does however keep all the small things cleaned up nicely. I have to use my basket scooper and clean out the majority of the leaves myself.
