I am 59 and my "leaf patrol" has graduated from college, gotten married and no longer live at home. I have had the commercial Leaf VAC with electric starter for about 3 full seasons now.  This machine enables me to do the job single-handedly that 4 or 5 of us used to do.

I won't go so far as to say I am the envy of the neighborhood, but I sure get longing stares from passersby when I'm cutting leaf-clear lines around my otherwise leaf-covered yard.  To beat all, most of the time I can get it done in one load, not having to stop and disgorge my mulched cargo.  Most of the time I do not have to wait for the city's leaf pickup days as someone who obviously is harvesting a compost heap comes by under the cloak of darkness and perloins my curbside heap of bags!

I have about an acre to mow with leaf dropping trees all around.  Been looking at the leaf vacs available locally as well as the DR.  Wanted one for a few years but the cost was hard to justify for seasonal use.  Now that I have it I wish I'd bought it sooner!! 

What used to take hours now takes me minutes by comparison! I can do it alone.  My compost is going to be much faster to use and better to boot!  The quality of the machine is top notch and it was a no brainer to unpack.  I would definitely recommend DR Power equipment.

I have a lot of pine trees and when I use my DR Leaf & Lawn Vacuum, it handles all the pine cones, sticks and pine needles with ease. I was very impressed with the easy of maneuverability and how closely I can work next to the trees. The suction is so powerful that I no longer have the need for lift blades on my mower to ensure the debris is picked up. I can use my mulching blades all year round and with the powerful suction the DR Leaf & Lawn Vac provides, it is the perfect solution to not having to purchase two different kinds of blades for my mower. Also, I was amazed at how well the company stands behind its warranty.

Due to my own negligence, I broke off a couple of the rubber toggles by snagging them on my chain link fence. I called the company to order replacement parts, expecting to have to pay for these parts and I was amazed they were covered under the warranty and were shipped to me, free of charge, and I received the parts within two (2) days. They even sent me a couple of extras.

About six (6) months later, I made the same stupid mistake and once again I called to order replacement parts and once again I had the same pleasant experience of being covered under the warranty. I loveeeee my DR Leaf & Lawn Vac. 

I am so pleased with this company and their product that I intend to purchase one of their new self feed chippers. I can honestly say that my experience with this product and this company has been uniquely satisfying.

I am so happy that I bought a DR leaf and lawn vac.  I was so tired of picking up leaves and small sticks all of the time.  Now I just mow and suck up everything.  I hardly ever disconnect the vacuum.  The machine really is perfect and with the addition of the remote vac hose, even better.  No more raking for me!
Thanks,

We have two lots with eight large oak trees on them, and they are surrounded by thick woods on two sides.  Needless to say, there are tons of leaves in the fall.  With our children grown and gone, and age going up and physical abilities going down, raking all of this stopped being an option.

After purchasing the DR leaf and lawn vacuum, with the vacuum hose attachment, we can clean the yard and flower beds in a days time. Now, instead of spending two or three days raking and hauling leaves, and doing it three or four times a year, we can get it finished twice in the fall. I wish we had purchased the DR leaf and lawn vacuum twenty years ago.

I live in the southeast with 2 acres.  This is the only piece of equipment that can handle both the grass cutting in the summer and the leaves in the fall and winter from the oak trees.  In addition, the mulch created by this machine from the leaves is the ultimate dressing around the bushes and the fruit trees. 

I have had this machine for 3 1/2 years and it has never given me a problem.  I highly recommend this equipment to anyone who wants a clean and beautiful looking yard year round.

I live on a private lake where the homes are all covered with hickory, oak and walnut trees.  The land my home sits on is a lease-hold.  The Association requires our leaves to be cleaned up no later than November 15 each year so they don't end up in the Lake. 

Prior to buying the DR Leaf Vac, the chore was an endless task of blowing them onto a tarp, dragging them to the nearest Association burn pile.  This, of course, had to be done starting as soon as the leaves began to fall.  Now, the chore is as easy as cutting the grass.  What a snap. 

I can't believe how well the vac works; one pass and there is not one leaf on the ground.  If I slow down to a crawl, it even picks up the acorns.  And I can't believe how well it is constructed; it will last for years!

Super, super!  What a nice piece of equipment for the yard - my wife calls it a miracle machine for someone who has "lots" of trees.  Money well spent - don't even think of another brand, you are wasting your time.  We have old oaks all over our 3+ acres. Years past I raked and would either burn in place or transport to a big burn area.

The last thing I tried was a lawn sweeper - it ruined my yard because of all the repeated trips over one area. It took me 3 solid weeks of raking, hauling and burning let alone waiting for a non-windy day or non-rainy day in the fall.  This baby - it took me 8 hours to vacuum and dump my leaves.  My wife finally had a fall to enjoy!

I have done the rake thing for a long time and when I bought this unit 2 years ago and used it for the first time I was just amazed on how well a job this unit does. I have the electric start self propelled walk behind model and just love it. This thing picks up leaves wet or dry and also some limbs, it chops up the stuff perfectly.

I would recommend this machine to anyone, I have seen leaf vacs before and also demo'd a couple of others and they don’t even come close to what this thing can do, it's suction power is really good, it picks up anything, I have even used it for grass clippings and boy does it make the lawn look nice after that is done.

I have to vac leaves up in 4 yards and the hardest thing about using this thing is gassing it up. What a back saver and time saver...

Buy it folks you won't regret it...
