5 Reasons Homeowners Are Swapping the Rake for a Push Lawn Sweeper

One pass. It all goes in the hopper.

A rake gathers debris into piles you still have to pick up. A leaf blower pushes it somewhere else, often right back onto the lawn you just cleared.

A push sweeper actually collects it. As you walk, the wheels spin the brushes, and the brushes flick leaves, needles and clippings straight into the hopper behind them.

• Collects debris instead of moving it around
• Sweeps lawns, patios and driveways
• Adjustable brush height for different surfaces

Two widths, so it fits your yard.

The 21 in model is compact and easy to steer around flower beds, trees and through narrow gates. The 26 in model sweeps a wider path with a bigger hopper, so larger lawns take fewer passes and fewer trips to empty.

Works great right after you mow.

Clippings left on top of a freshly cut lawn make it look unfinished. Run the sweeper behind the mower and they go into the hopper instead of getting blown back across the grass.

It handles the rest of the yard in the same pass: dry leaves, pine needles and pine cones.

• Picks up grass clippings after mowing
• Handles leaves, pine needles and cones
• Quiet, with no engine to start

No bending. No bagging by hand.

Raking means bending over again and again to scoop piles into bags. With a sweeper you stay upright and walk at a normal pace.

When the hopper is full, tip it out in one go and keep sweeping.

Hopper capacity up to 7 cu ft on the 26 in model.

Rolls smoothly over bumps and dips.

A push sweeper is powered by its wheels, so the wheels matter. Large rubber-coated wheels grip the ground to keep the brushes turning and roll more easily over uneven patches than hard plastic wheels.

• Large rubber-coated wheels
• Better grip on uneven ground
• Nothing to charge, fuel or plug in

A V-shaped brush

Instead of one straight bar, the brush is shaped in a V. It is designed to sweep debris into the hopper more cleanly and tangle less than a standard straight brush.
