In need of a pavement sweeper or vac here.
Saw the Hoover "SpinSweep" online - haven't seen any in stores.
For under $100, looks like it might work for me. I have a courtyard bordered by nondeciduous trees, which drop a fair amount of leaf litter and seeds year-round. Just swept it clean this morning - afternoon high winds quickly deposited a new layer of leaves/flowers/seeds on the pavement.
Anybody have any experience with the SpinSweep? I also notice that Shop Vac sells an electric powered "yard" vac (not for use on lawns) that might work as well, but it might raise a fair amount of dust in the process. The advantage of the SpinSweep is that it's non motorized and unlikely to raise a dust cloud.
Tried using the lawnmover plus rear catch bag as sort of an ad-hoc vacuum cleaner, but that did raise a hefty dust cloud and am unlikely to try that again (although it did a fair job of pickup up stuff).
Gas powered lawn/patio vacs start at around $400 and am not all that interested in making that kind of investment as yet. The SpinSweep goes for under $100.
