Is this powerful enough to blow away and suck up acorns and twigs from a grassy lawn?

It is very powerful and I have had several. I have used it to suck up acorns. I am sure it will. Great value.

YES.This is very powerful and I clean the gutter dogs and bug whacker from th ground.

It may be powerful enough to blow such debris, but not to vacuum it. Making mulch from twigs and acorns seems to me to be more what you'd expect from a wood grinder. I can say I really like my blower-vac and that I have not had any trouble using it while avoiding vacuuming up little rocks or whatnot that would damage it. For an older lady like myself, this is far superior to raking and bagging leaves.

I can't say for sure since I've never tried that, but I think it will blow some of the ash out of the bag (and possibly into your face). I know when I suck up leaves in the dirt, it blows the fine dirt out through the mesh bag. I love this blower/vacuum, but it might not be what you're wanting. Maybe try a wet/dry vac? Home Depot has a cool little one that goes over their 5 gal orange "Homer" buckets, it's called the Bucket Head... it's really neat and would work for bbq ash, I'm sure.

Pretty sure it will. Mine picked up rocks, so I had to be ultra careful. If the acorns are out of the shell, they'll be toast with this unit. Hope it helps.

Hi. Well I have used normal leaf blowers to do that very job and since this is a little stronger than a leaf blower, it should work fine.

Not sure, I don't have any on my property. I expect that it can suck up dried out acorns but I'm not sure about fresh off of the tree acorns. The shape of the acorn doesn't offer a lot of surface area plus it is rounded so not a whole lot for airflow to act upon.

Yeah, it's pretty quite for a leaf blower. But it definitely doesn't blow leaves very well.

I have routinely used mine since purchasing to rid squirrels from my backyard, and they are pretty resilient, so I'm positive it is powerful enough to take your crows out.

In response to Aaron's question, my experience with this machine is really more to do with blowing autumn leaves off driveways and other garden areas, but I imagine that the blower would be powerful enough for what you have in mind. Plus it's small enough to get into tight spaces, but as I have not used it for this purpose I don' to give you incorrect information.

No It won't do the job. Also the last one I got was broken when I received it. The blower is just strong enough to blow some dust off of electronics.

Yes it will but it's slow. It will pull grass and weeds out of the ground, roots and all. You will have to stop and rake the stuff out of the way as you move along the area. I have a mantis tiller which really tears up the ground but it doesn't pull the weeds out as well as the B&D.; My battery lasts for about 30 miinutes, but I have 4 batteries so not a problem....

Yes ! I love it although it would not use it on big branches This and the leaf blower are terrific.We have them for one year this will be our second year and I hope they do just as well

Should be no problem with the leaves & small acorns. Live down in the south where there's mostly pine trees, magnolias, and burr oaks. Picks up and shreds magnolia leaves just fine and magnolia leaves are even worse than oak leaves with regards to being thick and never decomposing. This Toro I'm sure would have the suction to pick up the acorns, but I don't know how much they'd actually be mulched or what it may do to the impeller blades. Live and learn.

Nope. This is a tiny blower for small, smooth surfaces - I.E. work benches, garage floors, or maybe patios, decks and sidewalks. If you want to try a rechargeable blower for a "great amount of leaves on a yard" then get one of the larger Makita 36 volt blowers made for lawns. And unless your leaf filled yard is really small, I personally wouldn't settle for anything less than a gas blower or a corded electric. $.02

I would think so. I find that this particular product more that meets my expectations. It works well on dirt where there is some unevenness and does a spectacular job on my driveway and on uneven ground. It is lightweight and I find the battery lasts as long as I need to use the blower. I have extra batteries on the chargers at all times so when one battery runs down, another is ready to take its place.

I bought this originally to sweep up sawdust in my woodshop. I have used this to sweep the pavers in my backyard and it works great. It has a lot of suction power.

Love mine! I use it to clear the sidewalk after mowing and getting leaves off the deck. It's not great for piles of leaves though not enough power. I have the weed eater and the blower and batteries are interchangeable. For lots of leaves you need a more powerful blower.
