It is easy to use. I needed something to pick up leaves plus put them into paper yard bags. At my age I need to do chores easier than the raking and stuffing leaves in bags. I purchased a “yard leaf bag stand” with a round top, positioned a yard bag in the stand then with “Jumbo book binders” secured the bag to the top of the stand. Then sat the adapter section on top of stand and tightened up the cords. Plugged the leaf blower into an extension cord turned switch to “pick up” then turned on blower. It's easy, just walk around point towards the leaves and they are in the Bag. “Highly Recommend!”

This is a one-for-one replacement of the one I have been using extensively for years. Replacement was required because the hard plastic housing surrounding the motor was finally punctured by repetitive strikes against it from the inside by hard bits of mulch that occasionally get sucked up.

We have not had the opportunity to use it much yet, but so far we think it picks up the leaves very well. Be sure to wear ear protection, because it is very loud.

Works well on dry/wet leaves, including twigs and pinecones. The vacuum is strong and can over power the ability to keep up with the mulching functionality causing it to clog. But, at this price point, the blower does what it says. Happy I bought it.

I rarely, if ever, review any products I purchase. I am making an exception today. I was wanting a leaf vacuum for our backyard… had looked at several on the internet… and none had great ratings/reviews, regardless of price. I saw this one at Sam’s and put it in my buggy with plans to purchase. . I ate a snack in the cafe while I read the reviews….. and I was not impressed. So much so that I returned it to its display. A couple weeks later, I decided to give it a shot, basically based on the pricing….decided it was worth $60 if it lasted this fall season. I used it that first afternoon and it worked as I had hoped! I was able to vacuum leaves out of our pine mulch without including the pine needles! Once I did the landscaped areas, I continued to vacuum the rest of our smaller backyard. I emptied the bag 3-4 times. I would prefer that it was be battery operated but it does what I had hoped it would do. It IS abit unwieldy until you get the hang of it. I am in my late 60’s, 64” and I managed it ok. Previous reviewers have commented that the on/off switch is very hard to manipulate…. It is stiff but I did not find it hard to use. The bag developed a small tear after using it a second time…. I have plans to mend it. The second use worked as well as the first use. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase….it does what I wanted it to do and the price was right!

I love the adaptability of size to attach to trash can for mulching and using less trash cans. The only issue is it is heavy to hold the leaf blower part after a while and you basically vacuum every spot in your yard. Wheels to help support the leaf blower mulcher on the ground would be helpful for the amount of time spent holding it. The speed of blower is good, but a little confusing as it is connected to vaccuum portion to send to mulcher. It takes a few turns of the switch to fully cut off blower or vacuum.

Sam’s Club website/app lists the item as including adaptors for other leaf vacs. Product does not include them nor make reference to them on the packaging. As for the product itself, leaf vacs are a dusty affair, though this one slightly less so because you can deposit mulched leaves directly in the can rather than constantly having to empty a small bag & wind up with a dust cloud in your face each time. Still, you’re gonna get messy & want to wear a mask. Pleased with the performance of the product, just wish it included the adaptors as my intent was to eventually use the LEAFPRO with a cordless vac.

The blow speed was less than expected. And while it did chop up my leaves, I didn't feel like it was a 16:1 ratio. I poored out a previously raked bag of leaves and mulched them, only to find that the space savings was about 1/3.

Looks like it is nice, however, I missed in the description that this is corded when I wanted battery operated. It is also a 2 prong where most extension cords are 3 prong. Also, the trigger to turn it on is so stiff I can barely switch it on with both thumbs.

Overall suction was not enough to pull in mildly wet leaves. Blowing function was not worth adding and provides very little mass flow and will not move the leaves around (dry or wet). Operator's height needs to be between 4'6" and 5'4" in order to not have to bend down to get nozzle near enough to the leaves for effective suction. Weight of the unit is uncomfortable after a short time (10 minutes) and would be improved by a shoulder strap and 2nd handle to help swing side to side. Mulcher was ok with leaves, but couldn't handle ANY small sticks and made the process tedious as you had to stop every minute and remove clogged debris from the suction nozzle to keep leaves flowing.
