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.

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 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

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.

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.

NO, and doesn't work for dry leaves ether! This product was only good for small twigs 1/8 in size, no smaller or bigger!

I did not find any problem using it a lot or quickly. It engages and disengages but I am in my back yard pruning medium and small branches. After I cut 3-4 long branches I pick them up and cut over a bag very quickly without any problems. I do not believe you will have a problem.

It does mulch leaves well... Unfortunately it has the plastic blades (as do most of the blower/mulchers) so you want to avoid sticks. It also does not do well with wet leaves, but none of them do. Make sure you give the engine a rest if you feel it getting warm or if the turbine starts whining. It is a a good idea to give it a rest every hour or else the bearings can burn out. Our lawn person used our last blower/mulcher to blow the autumn leaves into 4 huge piles, and then sat on the ground and fed the leaves into the the tube until the engine burned up. It took 4 hours to do it, but you get the picture. One word of precaution... this unit is EXTREMELY HEAVY, so if you don't have strong arms your going to be sore after an hour of use.

I have the 4 HP model and I have no regrets having bought it. I was using it today. This is the only way I dry my cars...one less process of touching the paint. I think that you will save some money over the larger model. The advantage over a leaf blower is the air is heated and if you mulch leaves there may be some debris still in the rotor. I would suggest to get the wall mount which may be available on the OE site.

Not great. If it's too long it will push it down before it cuts it. If you have heavy dandelions, it doesn't do well either. I mow our lawn pretty regularly so this doesn't happen, but it is something to watch out for.

Low light plants like Anubias, java fern, and Crypts. I dont know if I would try it with others that need more. Definately not flourishing but very slow steady growth. I didnt buy it with the expectations that it would grow stuff, but tried it out just to see. I think I would go with something more powerful if growing plants was your goal.

I used it on a St. Augustine yard where I needed to clear an area about 4 ft by 15 ft to plant shrubs. It worked well. One word of advice is that it seems to work much better when you go backwards. I had no problem controlling the depth going backwards. Forward seems to skip a lot. I did have to stop once and untangle some of the grass that wrapped around the tiller but I needed a break anyway so it wasn't much of a problem.

Yes, without a doubt. Wherever you point it, it's going to blow the dust. So, if you can get it underneath your plant leaves, it'll do just fine.

Unknown. My experience only involves house plants. Sorry I couldn't assist.

I'm unable to reply regarding bugs since my usage is for leaves specifically. It's terrific for that use.

I didn't have any luck with this plant. I did a straight forward trans-plant and it seemed to be doing well for about a few months and started loosing leaves and eventually died. Turned brown and never recovered.

I have had the best results with small, green branches and the least with grass-like plants and larger branches or dry ones. I usually end up with a pile of mulch where I have to separate the longer, stringy pieces from that which I can really use for mulching around the garden. I burn what I can't use ( maybe 15%.) You could bag it and put it in the trash. This unit will take care of a good part of our waste with the rest that's too big going to the landfill.
