Best tow-behind lawn sweepers

Top pick: Ohio Steel 50-Inch Tow-Behind Sweeper. The widest deck here at 50 inches with a 26 cu. ft. hopper, so fewer passes and fewer dump stops on big leaf drops — and it's the best-rated of the value crowd (4.2 of 5 from 382 ratings). A solid all-rounder for a lawn that gets both clippings and autumn leaves.

Who the others suit:

• Agri-Fab 44-Inch — the proven name if you want a simple, light-duty sweeper for clippings on a normal lawn.
• Garvee 48" — a wide 48-inch sweep with a full 26 cu. ft. hopper if you want maximum capacity per pass.
• Agri-Fab 42-Inch — the pick for smaller yards and tighter gates; the most-reviewed of the bunch.
• Yard Commander / VEVOR / YINTATECH 42-inch — budget 42-inch options for light leaf cleanup; smaller hoppers mean more dumping.

Skip the 12 cu. ft. VEVOR if leaves are your main target — it fills fast.
