does it pick up pine needles
260429
I haven't tried it with that. But, pine needles are full of sap, so while I would expect the machine to pick them up, they will likely clog the internal parts. It certainly will blow those little guys, tho, so you could blow them into a pile and pick them up (with gloves, of course.)

I have only used the blower function (which works great), but I think it it would work fine on pine needles. The needles should probably be dry because the metal fan impeller pulverizes things that are vacuumed. If the needles were green (and sticky) it might cause a problem. Then you could just blow them into a pile.

Yes Monica, It picks up pine needles with gusto. But, be careful because this machine is so powerful it picks up rocks which can damage the impeller ( fan-like blade that enables the machine to blow and suck ).

It did for me. I got them with the vac/shred function but did not try the blower on them.

Yes. I used it for picking up small and large pecans from the yard. it works well by either rolling over the ground or by gently dropping it on the nut to pick it up.

We do. No problems. We have a lot of pine trees near us. Having the cover in place during a storm saves us time having to scoop tons of pine needles out after. Just roll them up with the cover and shake them out later.

The Looj works well on long pine needles. I have several huge pine trees near my house. It took a while for the first cleaning. The looj will back up and try again if the gutter is really clogged. Like other iRobot products, it works well if you use it as a maintenance tool. I now use it several times a year before the gutter becomes totally clogged. With a light gutter buildup, the looj zips through leaves and pine needles.

Yes, it will pick up small amounts of leaves; this a feature I like since we have a number of trees on or behind our property.

It does not handle leaves very well. It just does not seem to pick them up. So I have to manually scoop them out.

It will pick up the pea gravel and small rocks with the leaves. Don't know about the berries.

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.

not really.. the hole is too small for pine cones. PS, you have to make sure whatever you are sucking up is DRY, DRY, DRY, DRY... and small, small, small THEN IT WILL WORK OK...

It will pick anything up. But i have a net i installed before it goes into the pump so it doesnt go through i just empty the net after the cleaning .. works really well

It should work fine. The basket inside the holder will hold a lot of pine needles due to its size. My pool gets a lot of maple leaves and red bud leaves in the fall of the year. This device will hold a lot of leaves before you have to empty it. It will holds much more leaves than the standard skimmer basket which keeps me from emptying it as often. I believe it should hold a lot more pine needles than large leaves. I say go for it. Hope this helps in making your decision.

SkimmerMotion deal with all kind of small debris, leaves and pollen.As far they floats, floating pine needles should not be a problem.SkimmerMotion is designed to absorb debris up to ~ 0.7"-1"Consider that smaller ones will be absorbed and sent to the Pool Filtration system.

I would think it would work to remove leaves & pine needles, providing there's a thick enough layer built up so as to be caught by the rake ... The blade does not down directly on the roof because of the little wheels that are on the blade.

It works on leaves with longish stems, so I don't see why not. My pine needles are about 4" long and it works just fine on them. If you have longer needles, I wouldn't imagine it has much trouble as it's a matter of flipping them out and as long as any part of the needle/stem/leaf/bract is caught, it seems to do the job. It also works fine on very small leaves which are actually harder to get out. Love the little thing.

We have had our nut wizard a few years and used it to pick up small pecans and large. We have four different type pecan trees and it works great for all of them.

It picks up a little bit of everything. It will pick up pine needles and grass that has been cut. You can adjust height as wel.

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
