Best leaf vacuums for fall cleanup
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 4, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: EGO LV5005 cordless vacuum and mulcher. It's the one to buy if you want to actually shred leaves rather than just blow them: cordless, so no cord dragging through wet piles, and it mulches into a bag you can empty on the compost. Best for medium yards where you'll be moving around a lot.
Who the others suit:
- Worx TRIVAC (WG509) — the value all-rounder; light, variable speed, and the most-reviewed of the corded trio. Best for small-to-medium lawns near an outlet.
- BLACK+DECKER BV3600 — the simplest, cheapest way into 3-in-1 mulching; fine for light fall cleanup and gutters.
- Toro Ultra Blower Vac — strongest corded airflow of the group; pick it if you mostly blow and only occasionally vacuum.
- Stihl SHA 56 — quietest and best built; for someone who wants a battery tool that lasts and doesn't mind paying for it.
Corded models mulch well but you're tethered; battery ones cost more and run on a charge.
