Will this pick up mounds of settled leaves?

NO ! It works BEST when you have loose piles on top of the Grass that are only maybe about 2~3 inches high ~ It will pull up leaves from within the Grass Blades IF you adjust it for Maximum Depth (Sweeper Brushes scrape lower). IF you run it into small (4 ~ 6 inch high) piles of loose leaves, it'll remove some of the leaves each time you pass thru the Pile; then you just have to keep going thru the Leaf Pile until it picks up most of them. The unit needs some type of curved 'Shields' on either side of the Catcher Basket to stop the 20 ~30% of leaves from flying out the sides & missing the Basket ! < only real 'flaw'. NO !

it wont even pick up 3 leaves on the ground let alone a bunch of wet, settled, or even dried leaves. Put the money into eitehr a good rake or consider a lawn tractor with a leaf bag. My sweeper is hanging from a nail in the garage and might find its way to the re-cycle bin!!

Personal Opinion: I don't think so. This is a push sweeper not a power sweeper of blower. It works best on freshly cut grass clippings with leaves mixed in. I did read one review that it doesn't work well on small oak leaves

Matted leaves or leaves that have been rained on or snowed on are too much for this lawn sweeper...you have to rake them and then run the sweeper over them repeatedly to get some of them up...then repeat. Best results appear to be freshly fallen dry leaves on very short grass. Recommend mowing on lowest setting right before leaves start to fall.

No.....sorry to say that it will not. I do not use mine. It does not work good.

Hi. Well I have used normal leaf blowers to do that very job and since this is a little stronger than a leaf blower, it should work fine.

have not tried that yet, good on leaves in tight garden spots. Id say get a regular rake for grass.

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 the bot's performance.

It will suck up acorns. I have rock hardscape and this thing picks up small rocks but it has a metal chopping blade and so far no damage.

Hmm good question. It will probably pick up the leaves and maybe the blossom possibly the pebbles.

It will, if you place it on the ground or at an angle toward the target area. Keep in mind it will also pick up any other movement, including leaf and bush movement.

yes, after cleaning up the lawn I use it on the pavement to pick up leaves blown by the wind.

I just used the vac attachment this spring for the first time and it will definitely pick up grass clippings. I used it to remove leaves in the flower beds that remained after the long winter. It easily picked leaves, mulch and small branches up. It was a little dusty as the mulch was dry but I you are just picking up grass clippings from the driveway you probably won't see as much dust.

It has the power too, but if they are long vines, they probably will get wrapped up in the tillers a bit. It would work if you have time most likely though.

Use a rake to gather the leaves in a pile and then use these to gather big scoops of the leaf pile to dispose of. This cuts the time it takes to clean up leaves in half or more. I love these things!

I doubt that it would perform in this manner for many consecutive attempts, but it probably would do it a few times. I use my unit outside to pick up small fallen tree limbs that weigh 8 to 10 pounds.

I think it could mulch them without much problem, but I question how efficiently it would suck them up. With dry, raked leaves it has no problem, but if the needles are matted thick in the ground, it may not work to your expectations.

Sucking up and mulching Live Oak leaves is a strength of this machines performance. I have a Live Oak and it does a great job. It also does very well with Crepe Myrtle and clippings from shrubs. A bigger challenge is the large leaves of Magnolia trees - it picks these up "most of the time" but occasionally if they get positioned wrong in the intake, you have to give them a little help to get sucked in.

It should but not if it is a big pile. Mine takes out dirt, dog hair and leaves.

I cleared a path for the dogs, and the trash with this and it was removing grass from the ground. It will certainly pick up gravel. You would have to be careful and tilt it back so it's not directly contacting the ground, which in turn, would leave a layer of snow/ice on your driveway.

No, I don't think it would work well for that. I used it on pinecones and small branches and it worked well. I use my lawnmower with bag (Greenworks as well) to collect and mulch leaves.
