Bought this about 4 weeks ago. I have three 35-40 tall Cypress trees that boarder my driveway. If there is such a thing as tree diarrhea then these Cypress trees have it. Starting in October the trees begin to slowly lose it's feathery leaves as well as walnut size pods. From October to mid December my drive way will be coated if I don't sweep/leaf blow every three days. With the S4 Twin I spend no more than five minutes pushing the S4 up and down my driveway each day to keep it clean. Anything above a small twig does need to picked up in advance for optimum performance. East to operate, easy to empty catch bin, no maintenance and easy to store.
I purchased this model for my daughter and her husband to use on the concrete around their in ground swimming pool. I assembled it and found it to be a very effective solution for them.
I have been battling a pool area and leaves from trees, in the past zI used a blower to blow the leaves from surrounding the pool and they just blow back, this new sweeper is amazing and sweeps up all the leaves, and debris and its simple to use and just empty the bin when done. Highly recommend!
