How well does this work to vacuum leaves and small debris? Does it work well in landscaping or just on hard surfaces?

I have been very satisfied with the BV6000. It works well with leaves and small debris, either on grassy surfaces or sidewalks. Good luck!

As a followup to my reply, I do not use the small bag that comes with the blower. I use a leaf collection system, Black & Decker part #BV-006 which covers the top of a 30 gallon plastic container and also an adapter, Black & Decker part #90528426 that connects the blower to the leaf collection system.I think that you can purchase both of these items through Dewalt Service Center, 5999 Crawfordsville Rd., Indianapolis, In 46224. Telephone # 317-243-8308.Hope this additional information will help you. I purchased these additional items so I didn't have to empty the small bag so often.

This has worked well for me on hard surfaces and around and in shrubs. May have to work by moving the shrubs with the nozzle to pick up leaves in the shrubs. Works very well picking up leaves. Blower side is strong also. Good buy for the price I paid.

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

You just attach hose, and put extensions together for a long handle. It was good at picking up leaves but not dirt since it just goes right thru the collection bag.

It will not have enough power for a large amount of leaves. I use it for lite cleanup and debris removal from the floor. You need a full size blower. I do use it to clean out gutters and downspouts since the air flow is channeled in the gutter and not diffused.

The suction is pretty good, i have picked up lots of leaves, and paper, maybe acorns but I can't say for certain. I can say if you have tons, this will take too long. Leaves took a long time but I'm the genious that waited till all the leaves were on the ground before starting.

I have only used it as a vacuum once to clean up a garage floor (dirt, leaves and mower grass)and it worked OK. did also use it to pick up pine needles in a rock bed and it mulched the needles. Good suction but was noisy when first started up. My wife did not like my idea to pick up dog fur inside the house so have not tried it yet.

The sweeper is a mini-vacuum. I use this mode for cleaning out my car, where I don't want to blow debris around, I want to suck it up into the bag for disposal. The blower works great for chasing leaves out of the garage and off the sidewalk. It's really nice to have both, and switching from one to the other is really easy with the B&D; sweeper/vac.

Yes, absolutely, the Work WG508, will effectively vacuum those small leaves for you, it even vacuums the leaves from the sand, leaving the sand behind. I love using the work, its amazing.

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.

I have used this unit to remove leaves quite successfully from my lawn. The only drawback is that the battery does not last very long.

It works very well with small rocks (2-3inched) and root filled soil. I use branch cutters to cut large roots that the tiller digs up.

It works well for wet sweeping my patio. It picks up leaves and dirt very well. I have had it for around two years.

Not particularly well in heavy dirt or mud. Works great on grass and around my flower beds. Saves my back when weeding a long time.

It will pick up small leaves but I think if there are going to be a lot of leaves you would have to pull it out and clear the filter now and then. The filter is a pull out tray so it's easy to do. I find the SharkVac does not alway pick up heavier items that might be sitting on the bottom however, so I usually go after those with the net.

It does a very good job of vacuuming up everything from dead leaves to fine dirt. I don't have algae so can't speak directly to that but it works well.

Tiny pebbles and DRY leaves suck-up the best....but I wouldn't try to use this instead of a rake!!! A blower to blow those things away or into a heap to shovel or scoop up is what I do.

I would say if it is like pea gravel or some type of small rock it may be helpful, but I'm afraid it would pick up larger landscaping type rock. When I use them to pick up leaves they even get some dirt

I use it on medium pile and I have had good luck with it. Pretty good little machine. I like it better than the green cleaner without the rotating brush.
