Amazing how, in all this time, there isn't one single cordless leaf vac out there that's any good. I went back to my corded Toro. Tried the Black & Decker cordless, but it constantly got clogged , I was shutting it off every 5 minutes to clear the chute. My corded vac is annoying around the swimming pool, however, I managed to wrap the cord around some trees so it doesn't drop into the water. I gave up on cordless, now, after seeing your video, I see none of them work that well. When I use my corded Toro, I usually blow the leaves out from under any plantings, and then vacuum up the pile. It's a lot less work.
