"I previously owned the Sears version which was also great, but did not have the self-propelled feature which I always wanted.
This powerful machine saves me tons of time with my cleanup. Instead of blowing the leaves and then having to pick them up and bag them, I vac them up and the machine grinds them up with an 8:1 reduction. I also use the hose to get into flower beds and shrubs, which would otherwise need hand-cleaning.
One suggestion would be to make the hose diameter about an inch larger; it easily clogs if you try to vacuum too aggressively.
Otherwise, it's a perfect machine! Thanks!"
