Anyone got any views on push leaf sweepers. Not the blower sucker kind

I've just collected all the ones on my lawn and paths with a rotary
mower. It does fill the bag rather quickly, and three bags fill the
barrow (must make an extender..).
Hopefully just a couple more rounds before all the leaves are down
They all go (ready chopped up) squashed down and wet into one of those
'big' 1m cube bags.
Before next autumn they'll have broken down enough to act as mulch.
I do suffer with leaves as there are Sycamores in both neighbouring gardens
