Worx trivac?

[TexaRican]

Getting sucked in (no pun intended) by the infomercial. Anybody here have experience with one of these? Our new house has a small backyard that holds tons of leaves from all the neighbor's trees and I've been having to blow a section off, scoop up dog piles, then blow the leaves the other direction and scoop dog piles in that area before I can even think of raking and bagging. Seems like a mulching vac/blower might be the ticket.
Wondering if it would also handle the pine needles in my front yard?

Would it suck up the poop? Do you want it too?

Don't know what you're talking about, but I bought a Black and decker blower/mulcher from Lowe's. It does a great job for all the leaves around my place, including pine needles. It has a metal mulching blade vs. a plastic one.

LOL, it better not. The idea is blow the leaves into small piles then carefully vacuum. My lab drops piles like a clydesdale so I don't think it would suck those up. Problem is the neighbor's tree has some huge dark brown/purple leaves that are covering my yard and making it really hard to see where the poop is. Really like walking in mine field.

Lowes has it so I'm gonna run over and grab one to try out.

Well in case anybody cares to know, I bought this toy and it seems well worth $80 so far. Spent the last hour cleaning up the front yard and I have 2 fifty gallon hefty bags full of leaves and pine needles without ever having touched a rake. In fact, all the blowing and vac action was done with a the torx in my right hand and a cold Mich Lite in the left.

I wouldn't say it really mulches the pine needles but the metal mulching blade definitely cuts them up some. No problem sucking them right up.
