Highlights
Quality
Plus you get the quality afforded by the gardena brand and a rather great 5 year guarantee
I highly recommend this tool for its quality and results

With the size of the land i have to empty the collection bin several times

For my small garden it goes quite fast and reduces my effort quite a lot
Packaging/appearance
As shed space is at a premium it is advantageous that this product folds up out of the way
Competitiveness

I found i needed to hold it up slightly otherwise the sweeper mechanism fires as many leaves out forward as it collects

I am not sure about the longevity of this as the brushes inbuilt which do the collection of leaves dont seem as sturdy as the rest of the device
