    Hi

    As more and more leafs gather around yard, looking for a good quality leaf vacuum to suck them up. Can't seem to find anything with decent review

    Most people suggest blowing the leaves in a pile with blower and then collecting, but I have decking and an underground basement that this wouldn't really work for. Therefore I was looking at something that would just suck them up

    Billy Goat would be regarded as one of the best as a wheeled vacuum. The Stihl Vacuum blower attachment works ok but you have to avoid stones & the fan will need replacing after a while but it's an easy job.

    How about more portable units , leafs blow down into outside basement so I have lot of up and downs . Was looking for some form of backpack unit.

    The Stihl is the only real choice, if you want quality, either the petrol or new electric versions. Leaves are bulky & can be heavy.
