The 8 Best Yard Vacuums | Gardening Tools Reviews

This review has been updated 15 times since it was first published in January of 2017. If fall leaves have taken over your lawn and you don’t fancy tackling this daunting chore with a rake, a yard vacuum might be the answer. We’ve found a wide range of models that vary in power, size, function, and price and can get the job done right in the shortest amount of time possible. Some of our selections even mulch the leaves you pick up to minimize disposal amounts. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the review.

Top 10 Algae Scrapers

8. GreenWorks DigiPro 24322

The GreenWorks DigiPro 24322 (about $158) offers cordless freedom to roam around your lawn, thanks to its rechargeable 40-volt battery. The charge doesn’t last long, though, and it doesn’t have the same suction power as some of our top picks, but it is easy to start and runs quietly.

7. Husqvarna 125BVx

The Husqvarna 125BVx (appx. $199) has sufficient vacuum and blowing power to tidy up your yard without too much hassle. Its air stream is in line with the handle for easy maneuvering, and the tube length is adjustable for a variety of uses.

6. Craftsman Variable Speed

Designed with comfort and efficiency in mind, the Craftsman Variable Speed (appx. $65) is good for simple lawn maintenance. It’s well-balanced, which helps to minimize wrist fatigue, and its dual-shred metal impeller can mulch 16 bags of leaves down to just one.

5. Black and Decker BEBL7000

The Black and Decker BEBL7000 (about $110) is a 3-in-one vacuum, blower, and mulcher that makes yard maintenance tasks much easier. With this powerful tool, you can push the leaves into a pile, suck them up, and spread the resulting mulch around your flower beds.

4. Troy-Bilt TB2BV

With its ability to produce airflows of up to 150 mph, the Troy-Bilt TB2BV (about $100) is the ultimate 2-in-1 machine for all your yard cleanup needs. It’s easy to power up with its spring-assist cord, and the padded handle is comfy to hold with minimal vibrations during operation.

3. Worx WG509 Trivac

The Worx WG509 Trivac (about $97) is a three-in-one unit that quickly converts between a blower, a mulcher, and a vacuum. Lighter than gas-powered models, it is easy to use with one hand, and reduces 100 gallons of dry leaves down to just 10 gallons, which fit in the collector bag.

2. Toro UltraPlus 51621

The Toro UltraPlus 51621 (around $90) comes highly rated for its performance and affordable price. It provides great control, thanks to its variable speed, and features a quick-release latch, which makes it a breeze to convert from a blower to a vacuum within seconds.

1. Merry Mac Walk-Behind

If you’re willing to shell out the cash, the Merry Mac Walk-Behind (around $1800) is a top-of-the-line choice for cleaning up the yard. This force of nature is powered by a 249cc Briggs & Stratton engine, and has a top-loading bag that can collect up to four bushels.
