- Is 300 CFM enough for fall leaves?
- It handles dry leaves on lawns, driveways and paths. Wet, matted or heavy debris will slow it down, and it is not a match for gas blowers or high-CFM cordless models.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- That depends on the kit. Many listings sell the tool bare, so check the box contents before buying, especially if you do not already own 40V batteries.
- How does the vacuum and mulch mode work?
- You switch the tube to intake mode and debris is pulled into a bag while the mulcher shreds leaves into smaller pieces. Expect a modest reduction in volume, not the fine mulch a dedicated chipper gives.
- How long does the battery last?
- Run time varies with the battery and mode. Blowing on low is the most efficient; vacuum and mulch modes draw more power and drain faster.
- Is it heavy to use?
- It is a handheld unit, so it is manageable for most adults. Vacuum mode with a partly full bag adds weight, and long sessions can tire your arms.
- Can it vacuum wet leaves?
- No. Wet leaves clog the intake and bag, and moisture can damage the unit. Use it on dry debris only.
