will it vacuum acorns?

It will vacuum up most small objects such as rocks, acorns, coins, etc. As long as the object fits through the slot on the botton, it will be sucked into the bag as debris.

It will vacuum anything that will fit through the slots on the bottom of the machine.

We have many oak trees near our pool and have no trouble with the Dolphin taking in acorns during the cleaning process.

Yes it may pick up some stones. It will also pick up the loose hulls around the pecans and some leaves. I still recommend it though as it makes gathering the nuts so much easier. I do have to do some sorting but I can pick up a 5 gallon bucket full in about 20 minutes now. It is so much easier on the back. Our trees have a bumper crop this year and I would never get even a small percentage harvested just picking them up.

Yes but it may be to large for that purpose. One of the smaller vacuum devices would work better.

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.

Anything dry and solid will be picked up fairly well. The vac does take getting used to ergonomically; it's a bit cumbersome and unwieldy on first use. And maybe even second. It's also quite loud, and the garbage can top/hose option is very tricky make work properly. After several informed attempts to make it work properly, I abandoned the fight and stuck with the bag attached to the vac. My big tulip tree, the offending leaf dropper that motivated my purchasing the vac was killed by confused landscapers, so I use it now to chase crickets and suck up junk from my gutters. It's a good idea, but mostly it takes up space in the garage. Anything dry and solid will be picked up fairly well.

I pick up small fruits (cherry I think) that are about an inch give or take. I also use it to pick up a small apple, 2-2 1/2 inches. If the acorns are in this range, your good. If they are smaller than that, there is another smaller version of this same tool meant for nuts and whatnot.

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.

No, it's not that powerful - it's really for small jobs as listed in the product description. You need a electric (regular) vacuum for sucking air out of the plastic bags for vacuum sealing.

It handles them extremely well. I have plenty of acorns and the metal blade chews them up nicely.

It will but it will take more time, I found it best to rack in a piles and vacuum up it save a lot of room in the can and believe me I had a lot of leaves large to small it worked fine and I found the blower to be very powerful. of course all the old timers had to pass by to see it.

Sort of , sometimes .... The product is very cheaply made and the brushes are also cheaply made and there aren't really any adjustments. As you push the product you can raise or lower the bar as you walk but it is still too cheap and too weak to do much good. If your acorns are on the driveway or sidewalks then " Foget about it !" . If your acorns have recently fallen and are laying gently on top of the grass and your grass is not real thick then it might pick up 1/2 of them especially if you go over and over and over your lawn.

I do not know. I was way to scared to try mulching my acorns. I have so many that I just blew them away with all the leaves. The blower was powerful enough to suck the acorns right out of the ground even after they had been stepped on & covered with dirt all year long.

Sucking up and mulching Live Oak leaves is a strength of this machines performance. I have a Live Oak and it does a great job. It also does very well with Crepe Myrtle and clippings from shrubs. A bigger challenge is the large leaves of Magnolia trees - it picks these up "most of the time" but occasionally if they get positioned wrong in the intake, you have to give them a little help to get sucked in.

It sucks up these spikey balls so surely it would do acorns since they are much smaller.

nope, I don't think so. As soon as you switched to vacuum mode, it sucks and mulches at the same time...

No, it doesn't. I would recommend this vacuum for cleaning chop saws and table saws plus the surround work area at the end of the day. It has just enough power to suck up and or blow out saw dust and other small debris at a very close range. Will not work well at clearing a deck of pine needles research other dewalt vacuum with more oomph

You know I honestly don't think so. I would say that overall, it's not a bad little gadget if you are picking up light crumbs, etc, but to say it would work on anything substantial, it's not worth it. It works great on light dog or cat fur, or bird seed, but it won't pick up any straw (we have a rabbit also)....and it fills up very fast so sometimes I have to dump it three times just to pick up after the birds. Almost easier to use the big machine!
