How well does it handle leaves? especially large leaves? I had a KK several years ago & it kept getting hung up on leaves and wouldn't run.

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.

Probably not the best for large leaves. We also have a pump-side cleaner that we use for big stuff. The KK does great for the fine dirt, spiders, small leaves and is more efficient than running the auxiliary pump.

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

Regarding leaves - we don't have that issue as no significant trees near to the pool. This is our second KK and it works great so far. The first we inherited when we bought our house five years ago.

It's not really suited for handling large debris. It should only be used for keeping algae growth and small particles out of your pool after the large stuff has been removed.

Kreepy handles leaves the size of palm of your hand with no problem. I don't have anything larger to go by in my yard. I am on my 3rd kreepy (gunite pool) and am very satisfied with the product.

We don't have large leaves, but medium size leaves are removed by the Kreepy Krauly. We are very happy with it but it tends to get stuck sometimes for no apparent reason. We have a fibreglas pool.

i think it will do a good job of the leaves. Just be aware of the collection bag it seems that the stitching at the end where it connects to the plastic fitting opens up. I have read about this happening to other people but it did not stop me from buying it. I purchased an upolstery sewer it is a very cheap tool and it took care of the problem GOOD LUCK

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.

I'm thinking it should handle some debris but an amount of leaves could clog it up and it would need to be cleared. I've pumped out pools a bunch of times but never had to deal with too many leaves. It does a great job.

We remove most of the large leaves first, but it does an awesome job on what is left. It can get clogged if you try to let it pick up everything. We are very pleased with the results.

I've had this mower for a few years and actually like it. However, it will leave a clung of grass if the basket behind is not attached correctly. It also has to be emptied more frequently than many other mowers. If attached correctly, it should keep this from happening. Because it has to be emptied out so frequently, it is not good for really large lawns. What I like is the lighter weight and the start up function with the key. It has been a reliable mower for what I use it for.

Yes it will get leaves but may get clogged with a large amount. I noticed mine worked well until the little red button that sets the suction broke off - that was not covered by warranty. Just a heads up.

Well, it is good for many leaves, after a certain quantity ( or if the leaves are big and/or rigid) it is better to stop the unit and to proceed to clean it because they get captured at the entrance of the filter . I any case it works very well .

It should blow the leaves as long as they are not wet and packed. This blower is extremely powerful for it's size and price. Actually has more force than our bigger gas powered one.

Yes, it works well for leaves and clippings but it does get very heavy when the grass/leaves are wet. My husband likes it and we have a huge yard so he can do it in three passes without having to empty the bag. It is a good investment!

I have a 16 HP tractor and it is not problem. I believe any tractor can handle the dethatcher because it is a very light load. The dethatcher has three settings (off, dethatch, and scratchify (cuts 1/8" to 1/4" grove); it should handle maple leaves. I really like the dethatcher; I use it without any additional weights and it does a great job.

It does debris very well, but not bulky leaves. None of the cleaners does it great. But I have owned 3 of these and it's the best. I have owned all kinds of Polaris, Zodiac products and this one is head and shoulders superior. On my third I have a problem with its computer and am about to send it back for warranty service, so I shall see how that works out.

No I cant say that I have any problems with that, but I don't get a lot of leaves on my property. Sorry wish I could help you out.

I've blown leaves with it (and it worked well), but I wouldn't buy it as a dedicated leaf blower. I mostly blow dust with it.

Yes it throws the leaves on the ground, its a great tool! I love it, has nice power aswell, try to use it before it rains, heavy wet leaves will take a little longer

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!!
