I want to get one for hoovering up grass clippings - does anyone here use
one
for that? Are the petrol or electric ones better?

Thankyou so much

I find them pretty useless, the exception being getting leaves from around
and under plants. However the better ones are also blowers, those are very
useful for collecting leaves into piles to make "harvesting" them easy.
As regard to picking up grass I reckon that a skrake will be both easier and
quicker.
