Could this be used to vacume an artificial grass lawn area or would it have too much suction?

I have had my shopvac for a few years now and really like it. I actually have two different ones and the ShopVac model is by far the better unit. I think it would be fine to vacuum your yard with this. I guess the turf is glued down and this will not pull that up. If the turf is loose, just don't put the nozzle right on the grass.

absolutely, regular house vacuum does just fine, a shop vac would also have no problems. It's just pulling air out.

I would say no. But the suction is very powerful. It's a very well built product.

To be honest, the vacuum is on the bulky side; however, it has a very long attachment tube and a great roller attachment. The vacuum itself is too big to fit under anything.

It will work fine, but because it uses a water hose to create the vacuum effect, you might have to remove some water from your pond after you vacuum.

yea quite well. suction seems to adjust to keep the area rug from getting pulled up and eat up by a vaccuum

Not specifically for that. Being up on a ladder with this would be somewhat risky, being it is bulky and long with the attachment. Ergonomically it would not work work well unless you are able to walk on your roof and can blow the leaves out of the gutter. I would not use the suction attachment to vacuum the leaves from the gutter if you are able to stand on the roof because it will be too risky being you have to stand close to the edge and to the gutter to suck out the leaves. So overall, the answer would be no in my opinion.

For a small machine the suction is pretty good. I have only used it twice, but the carpet dried quickly so I'm assuming this was due to the machine drying up a lot of the water and shampoo used for cleaning.

Until you have a decent vac, you think it's suction is ok. Our kenmore upright and Electrolux canister can fill a quarter of a bag in 2000 sq foot carpeted house even after using that bissell. Save your money for a long term, more useful alternative

A regular vacuum works great. The shop vac hose will be too big in circumference.

Not very well. I think it would do better if it had suction. It has the ability to collect large amounts ofloose material like leaves etc., and will pick up some loose dirt. I have used mine to clean gutters and loose leaves from asphalt and cement.

I personally would never buy another one. I returned same day I got it. Used it on very low pile carpet and was very hard to push across the carpet. As far as suction I am not sure because I wasn't going to have a vacuum I had to fight.

It would probably be good for that but keep in mind that the collection "basket" that holds the waste is not very big because the vacuum itself isnt big so if its a lot of litter, you may need to clean it out often.

Its a good vacuum for both, but you have to make sure to empty it out after each use,else, the suction is significantly reduced.

Possibly. It would depend on the condition of your lawn. It is a powerful machine.If they are long needles you would definitely be better off raking. If they are the short, stabbing variety it might be worth a try. If you have a regular shop vac I would recommend you try it first. It will definitely NOT be equivalent to an upright indoor vacuum on carpet. It just won't be that easy. You need a level surface. If your lawn is really thick it "could" help. If the lawn is sparse you would probably hurt the grass.

Hi Mary, I haven't used it yet. I purchased it primarily for use with my chipper/shredder/vac. However, I don't believe there is any way you could expect to use it for grass clippings, dragging it around behind your mower. The grass clippings would be too heavy which is why they show it (or its competitor does, I forget which) as a leaf collection bag which are much lighter weight than grass clippings.

Yes, however to be efficient you would need to consider hose extentions and attachments to reach areas and concentrate air. Vac has sufficient power to do the job
