mine's a power devil, I find PD much better than Black & Decker anything,
but it isn't happy with wet leaves, won't suck them up, likes them bone dry,
in which case it delivers an excellent layer of compostable powder. I doubt
it would pull up stones, although you do get just the occasional loud bang
from the fan end, nothing serious yet.

hope that helps

Evening all,

Hope you can help me. Does anyone have any idea of how the run garden
vacs
would deal with leaves/hedge clippings on crushed slate. Are they so
powerful that they will suck up the slate up as well as the leaf litter/
hedge trimmings etc or conversley are they too wimpy to even deal with the
leaves themselves

Thanks

Jim
