Does this pick up leaves

Not well, if at all -- this is one of the deficits of this pool cleaner. And whatever debris it does pick up falls back into the pool when you pull the vacuum out of the water. This is a terrible design flaw! I read this in some Amazon reviews before I bought it last summer and I should have paid attention to them. I would not recommend the SharkVac and regret having spent the money on it.

Yes, it will pick up leaves. However, depending on the amount of leaves you have in your pool you may have to clean out the robot's filter chamber more often. When my pool has a lot of leaves in it I usually use the garden hose leaf vacuum head to get the majority of the out first before running the unit. Over all I am very pleased with it's performance.

Yes, it will pick up small amounts of leaves; this a feature I like since we have a number of trees on or behind our property.

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.

yes! we don't get a lot of leaves in our pool, but after a windy day or a storm we get some, the vac gets them all. We have been very satisfied with this product- I am not positive when we bought this product but I think we have used it the past 2 summers. No complaints.

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, it sucks up oak leaves. We have an oak tree adjacent to our pond and it does the job it needs to for us. Just need to empty often if there are a lot of leaves.

I use mine for leaves,and it picks more than using a bagger.if you have a mulching mower it's great.

There is a hose connection on the side and pretty good instructions on how to attach and get the suction going; it would not pick up acorns; it barely picks up leaves

no my dolphin does a terrible job picking up leaves. I am very disappointed so far. I am going to order the accessory leaf bag and hope it works better.

Yes, it works quite well for leaves and such. The real test will come next spring, for maple tree seeds, but I expect that to be fine, too. I use it with a Weed Eater WEB160 blower. Get a good grip on the tube before you turn the blower on...it's fairly powerful.

It will pick up dirt, loose pebbles, and leaves. I have been very pleased with it.

No, it has a net bag which only captures leaves and other debris. Small particles such as sand and other minute stuff go right through the bag.

Since it does raise and lower to the ground, I did use it in my driveway (blacktop) to pick up leaves. It did a nice job - it even picked up some cedar droppings as well, although not as well as the leaves. I found that it also works very well on even ground. For a lot of variation in the yard, I found that if you raise the brushes slightly, it works just fine. This is my new favorite yard tool for the fall!

NO ! It works BEST when you have loose piles on top of the Grass that are only maybe about 2~3 inches high ~ It will pull up leaves from within the Grass Blades IF you adjust it for Maximum Depth (Sweeper Brushes scrape lower). IF you run it into small (4 ~ 6 inch high) piles of loose leaves, it'll remove some of the leaves each time you pass thru the Pile; then you just have to keep going thru the Leaf Pile until it picks up most of them. The unit needs some type of curved 'Shields' on either side of the Catcher Basket to stop the 20 ~30% of leaves from flying out the sides & missing the Basket ! < only real 'flaw'. NO !

Nope- once you rake up the leaves, you use these to pick them up in a bunch to carry to the curb or put in lawn waste bags. They are simply 'big hands'

No, it doesn't have much brushing along the bottom so leaves can get in. It works great for leaves, but a regular vacuum head or simply a brush to stir algae and kill it with algicide would be best.

Probably...it picks up the stuff the palm trees drop...they are about the same size as acorns

My experience is that yes it will pick up larger objects. Haven't experienced nuts before but it has picked up large leaves and small pebbles. You will have to brush the curved walls. It will do okay but won't get everything from walls even when they aren't curved.

No. This cart is for collecting leaves easily and moving them to a mulch pile, landscapers trailer, or leaf pile in the street for collection.

It will not pick them all up. It does get some of them. If yard is fairly level and the sweeper is adjusted to right height it might pick up more. To answer your question it will pick them up but don't expect a clean sweep the first time you pass over them.
