Title: Awesome product if you don't expect it to work miracles.
Review: It's rare that a product performs "as expected." This one ticks all the boxes. Assembly was a piece of cake, and when put together properly it's sturdy and doesn't wobble at all. The brushes sweep the full length of the device. Height adjustment is smooth. The hopper is easy to put on and take off. It's easy to push - just make sure you rotate it forward a bit so the support legs are not dragging in the grass. I'm terribly pleased with how this sweeper performs. For the price I paid, it does exactly what I hoped it would.A couple of caveats, but these have nothing do with the quality of the sweeper. 1) The device works best on flat lawns. Don't expect flat brushes to dip down into uneven places or chuckholes on your lawn. Duh. This is physics. The sweeper will work best if you work a checkerboard pattern on your lawn to pick up missed places. 2) It's not a vacuum. It will not leave a pristine swath of "unleafed" grass in its wake. But it will pick up the vast majority of your leaves and drop them into the hopper, saving you the trouble of raking most of them them and picking up the piles. 3) You'll get the best result if you use this tool in conjunction with raking and/or leaf blowing. Use it as it is designed, and you'll save yourself a ton of work. 4) We live in Florida with a lot of live oaks on our property. Beware of Spanish moss - it will jug up your brushes just like threads or yarn on a vacuum beater. Again, duh. Just keep the brushes clear of things that might get wrapped up in them. 5) It goes without saying that it's not designed to work well on wet or sodden leaves. Wait until they are dry.Overall a superbly-designed, functional product at a very reasonable price.

Title: Poor
Review: Instructions to assemble were the WORST. I have assembled about 50 products from tools, shelves, furniture, electronics, and more-this was easy but you really need to use your logic as the assembled pictures were terrible and explanation was poor. After 30 minutes of swearing and sweating I got it together. It is so cheaply made that it feels like it will break at any second. The bag could be much bigger -whoever designed this âwideâ sweeper could have added about seven or eight inches of height to the bag easily. It doesnât pick up leaves very well. Have not tried it in lawn waste as I might send it back. Wheels are hard plastic as well as the base. This should cost about half of what they charge. Overpriced to say the least. I expected much more from Scottâs. I should have bought an off brand as they look heavier duty than this piece of junk. Boo to this.Also, I used it two times and the plastic piece that holds the basket together. Which shouldnât be a plastic piece whatsoever, but you can see from other peopleâs reviews that it completely broke. Iâm very gentle on my tools and I have to say this is one of the worst things Iâve ever purchased. It barely picks up anything, itâs cheaply made, the areas that are mostly plastic could at least have metal or some type of heavier duty plastic. This is literally the worst lawn tool Iâve ever purchased and it was not cheap. I bought a works GT blower vacuum cheaper than this. This item should be completely revamped and about a third of the price. Try not to buy this and definitely look for a heavier duty or a quality sweeper. I mean this brandâs been around for at least 30 or 40 years and they have made something as crappy as this at such a high price. Very, very sad and very disappointed.

Title: It does the job and is much better than raking - Just manage your expectations
Review: I read several reviews of the Scott's Sweeper and AF before buying the Scott's. They seem very similar but the Scott's was much cheaper and some reviews said it can sweep cut grass. We have a large, mostly flat yard in South Dakota. For the first use, we had a really nice day with low wind and the leaves were dry. Normally we rake leaves into piles, then vacuum them in order to chop them small and fill the yard waste bin better. We still have to rake where the leaves are thickest, directly under the trees, because the sweeper just pushes the leaves around. But in the spaces between the trees where the leaves aren't so dense, and in the front where we get fewer leaves, the sweeper worked great. Yes, it throws some leaves out but most go into the hopper. I'm content to have some leaves still on the yard. It's good fertilizer and it's important for a lot of insects to survive the winter. If you expect the sweeper to sweep your yard clean and immaculate, you may be disappointed. Setting the brush depth: Late in the season our grass is thicker and taller in some places. I found that I could set the brush depth knob, and as I moved into thicker or thinner grass, I could raise or lower the handle in back as I pushed and that seemed to adjust the brush depth on the go. The sweeper takes a few minutes to get the hang of it. At first I pushed it just like I push the mower and it didn't work well. But you quickly figure out how to handle it and it does a decent job. To empty it, I pick the whole thing up and turn it over the leaf pile - super easy. It would be difficult to dump it into a bin or bags. The sweeper is nearly all light-weight plastic and but seems sturdy. I'm not worried about parts breaking. I wouldn't use it on a bitterly cold day - not sure how the plastic parts would hold up in the cold. I'm satisfied and would recommend the Scott's.

Title: Sweeps well, works on artificial turf, but has a few design flaws
Review: It does a pretty good job on my artificial turf, BUT I would suggest the following improvements for any manufacturer of this product:1) The brush housing doesn't extend far enough over the catch bag. 25% of the smaller leaves and acorns just fly up and over the catch bag. There needs to be a longer (retractable?) deflector that knocks these down into the bag.2) The bag base is a solid piece of plastic. If you don't empty it right away, the leaves will rot. Maybe some perforation would help.3) It isn't clear how to disengage the bag from the frame. I have to bend the plastic guides on the lower frame to get the bag off the frame and it doesn't seem right. Eventually, I feel like these guides will break.4) The bag clips on the upper part of the frame only lasted a year in the sun. UV damage is making them brittle, and pretty soon the bag will have nothing to snap into on the upper frame.

Review: Takes several passes at times. Adjusting height is a bit finicky but after using it awhile you learn. Beats the heck out of raking.

Review: Although we haven't had a chance to use this yet, it is well made, easy to assemble and much larger than the picture projects. Not to rush the seasons, but we look forward to fall to try the sweeper.

Title:
Review: Plastic tines really donât work. Bend and wear quickly should be metal. Doesnât pick up oak nuts and requires perfectly level surface or will need to go back over several times. Twigs get stuck in tines and lots of material will be thrown past catchers. I find I desert to a better rake. They needed to try this on real turf rather than artificial turf in a lab. Needs a redesign

Review: Difficult to use. Pick up leaves okay but it doesnât pick up grass clipping well at all. It doesnât complete the job very well. It does a decent job but not an excellent job.
