Raking is a hard enough task on its own, but then having to bag up the leaves is often the most time-consuming and back-breaking part of yardwork — until now. This multitasking device "makes picking up leaves a breeze," as you can use the blower attachment and function to easily move all the leaves and debris in your yard into one compact pile. Then add the vacuum attachment and the same gadget will suck everything up and send the leaves through an impeller fan, which breaks them down into mulch before dropping them into the attached bag. The result? A clean lawn and patio without ever bending over to scoop up the leaves.

The outdoor appliance has two speeds to choose from and is incredibly lightweight (just seven pounds!), so you can hold it for long periods of time without getting tired. But it does have a shoulder strap in case you do get fatigued while using it. Its power cord is about eight feet long, but shoppers say you can easily attach an extension cord to it to freely move around your yard.

“This thing really sucks! (in a good way),” raved one shopper. “This thing works like a champ. I use it to 'rake' the backyard and clean the driveway after cutting the grass. The blower has two speeds which are nice, the high speed actually seems quieter, but maybe it's just my sensitivity to the particular sound. The blower is powerful enough for yard work, it's not a commercial machine. The mulcher is very impressive. I use it to suck up the leaves when they're piled up. It sucks up leaves, small sticks and mulch with no problems. This thing is such a time saver, my yard has never looked so good.”

“I have used it three times already and I have had no problems. It has cut my yard work time in half the time. Very easy to put together and use,” wrote another.

While a third said, “As a senior citizen, I look for products that make tending my small garden easier. This leaf vacuum takes care of the leaves and provides leaf mulch for my acid-loving plants. The price is right, too.”

The 3-in-1 tool would normally set you back $64, but you can snag one for just $53 right now — just in time for autumn. Shop one at the discounted price while you still can.
