does this vac just vacuum the whole leaves or does it go through the shredder that is on my Black and Decker??? may be a dumb question???

This attachment for collecting leaves only replaces the small bag that hangs from your vacuum. If you have shredded leaves in your small bag, then that's what you'll have in the trash can. To me if you have a lot of leaves to collect, this is the best kept secret from Black & Decker I've ever seen.

This is not a vacuum, but a vacuum attachment. The leaves go through the Black & Decker leaf vac shredder first, then through the hose and into the receptacle (usually a trash can). This attachment takes the place of your Black and Decker bag (when used as a vacuum instead of a blower).

In my experience with the shredder, if the leaves are dry they are able to be better mulched although green leaves will go through if you go slow. The green leaves have too much moisture and can tend to clog up the machine. If you are mulching freshly cut branches go slow and every ferw feeds use a dry stick and feed it through. It cleans out the mulching chamber.

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.

Dust pick up works well. It will some what depend on the vac. My commercial vacuum works well. With my small 5 gal. shop vac it picks up about 75%. It will not get all of the dust but easily enough to cut in the room you are working. For the price this is a nice saw.

Yes it does that very well. leaves and grass get pulled in very easily. you can even vacuum cut grass over gravel, the gravel is to heavy but it pulls leaves and grass up. cleaning up grass was what I used mine for the most.

It works fine, but to do the job properly, we use a Swiffer. The vacuum will clean up just fine, but to remove dirt, etc., the Swiffer is designed to do that better.

Yes, it will pick up leaves. However, depending on the amount of leaves you have in your pool you may have to clean out the robot's filter chamber more often. When my pool has a lot of leaves in it I usually use the garden hose leaf vacuum head to get the majority of the out first before running the unit. Over all I am very pleased with it's performance.

There is a lever to turn off the brush roller at the base so you get direct vac to floor only. I turn off the brush roller on bare floors.

I used this to pick up newly fallen leaves, not mulched leaves. Esentially it is a hose that connects to your leaf blower/vac and would depend on how powerful your vac is. I would think that would work but would depend on how fine the leaves are mulched and the power of your vac. Good luck!

It will not skim the leaves 100% efficiently. Some mulch will be vacuumed as well. It depends on the vacuum setting as well as the amount of moisture on the small leaves. The more moisture will force you to increase the vacuum power settings and this is what causes the mulch so be extracted along with the leaves.

This is a great little vac if you already have Makita tools. I love it but it's a glorified DustBuster. I don't count on it to vacuum my house. Just to clean up spills, clean up after work in a customers house, or to use between vacuuming. Best on hard floors. I have several batteries anyway. Maybe it runs 5-10 minutes or so? Not sure

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.

It does a good job on maple leaves, but it will be a lot of work--especially if they're wet. Like the previous reply, it has a small top...I would recommend a bigger shredder or a willingness to spend a lot of time at the task.

Not sure on what they meant by that. Blower blows and with minor change out it becomes more or less a vacume. Could one consider either of these to be sort of sweeping? That may be left to interpritation??

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).

In theory, the leaf blower works as a vacuum, but I have avoided using my leaf blower that way. It doesn't take much, according to other reviews, to break the unit. Why risk it?

No spinning bristles. It is a smaller scale shop vac if this helps. Just mounted on your back. I think it would pick up leaves and bugs as long as not embedded.
