Hello, Is this a good unit for lots of leaves and sands?

WE love our tiger shark unit. Is good with leaves, dirt and debri and small twigs that have blow in from trees. Not sure of sand as we have never had that issue. What I do know is if it ever breaks, I will have a new one ASAP!! Saves so much work. Hope this helps. When we opened the pool I would stop the unit and clean the filters about every 1/2 hour just because there was a lot of debri.

Sand yes, leaves no. The new model Tigershark QC is not as good as the older model either. I have both and have been very disappointed with the new model.

it's an excellent vacumn. I have owned two over the 14 years we've had the pool and it keeps my pool clean with very little work on my part other than putting it into the water. We don't have a lot of leaves however so my pool isn't inundated with falling leaves but it picks up most everything that sinks to the bottome and is definitely good picking up sand and light dirt.

Lots of leaves? I don't think any self contained unit will do that. But if you sccop out as many leaves as possible, it will take up the ones left behind. I think it works well. Sand is no problem.

It is a great cleaner but it may fill up quickly if you have a lot. We love ours

Yes! I have owned a regular TigerShark, and this TigerShark Quick Clean. Both do an excellent job with fine material and actually pickup and hold a lot of leaves for its size. I hope this helps.

We have been very pleased with our unit. It works well with leaves. We live near a woody area and get lots of leaves. Can't really speak about sand, but I know that it does well picking up anything we have gotten in our pool.

I love mine, but we don't have a lot of leaves. It picks up what leaves we do have, and the sand. Just make sure you clean it after every use.

Good question. It has enough power to blow a few leaves but not a pile. Try this: Use your hair dryer without heat and if that blows snow than it would work because it works better than a hair dryer!

If the soil is not too hard it deals with grass and weeds well. I use mine often.

No it will not work welll with a large amount of leaves. This is a "light" duty blower. Very handy for small jobs but definitely not for a large pile of leaves.

This is a great unit with a small footprint. Very efficient and we love it for the winter months here in Central Florida. It is a wonderful value for the money. I do hope this helps you decide.

I've only used it to clean out my pellet stove, I would use a rake or leaf blower for leaves.

I have only used it for sticks (up to about 2" diameter) and leaves, does a great job as long as everything is dry. Any wet leaves will clog the machine quickly.

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.

I don't really have any leaves. But id say if you wanted decent blowing power go with a gas blower. You want something strong enough to move leaves when wet and I can guarantee this blower won't. I use this to clear grass clippings and that's about all.

It is powerful enough to move a pile of leaves. Haven't used it much with wet leaves so can't really say how well it performs there - I don't think it would have a problem with wet leaves. As far as it being compared to Stihl, I haven't used that brand but they all have ratings for how much air they move. You could go by that to compare.

Those leaves should present no problem to the machine. We have a huge volume of Norway Maple leaves to deal with and the machine works just fine. This presumes you don't try to jam a huge amount of leaves in at one time. Little bites!

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.

Hi This is Steve at Aqua Products, This unit is indeed designed to vacuum debris including leaves, sand and yes acorns. Be sure to empty the bag often. Note: Some stubborn debris that sticks to the bottom may benefit from units that Scrub or those that have Power Washing Jets - these help loosen that debris and vacuum it up more efficiently. If you would like more information please reach out to me at sferry@aquaproducts.com

It can be run "all the time", but unless you have a LARGE pond, I'd recommend a smaller unit...this one is fairly powerful.

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 used it for the first time yesterday on leaves. The blower is good, vacuum works well and mulches the leaves excellent.

I live in the hi desert, and have a 9' x 18' above ground pool. The charge lasts long enough (30 minutes) to clean the pool. It has good suction, and does pick up sand, bugs and small leaves. It does not pick up large rocks or pebbles. It has a thin outer bag, and a small coarser bag to hold larger than sand debris. Best to recharge after each use. Worth having.
