Pros: great time and work saver if you have a large yard with lots of leaves.
Cons: replacement parts. Had to buy a kit of parts just to replace one.
Summary: Works great if set up properly, but watch out if the plastic impeller breaks. They won't sell you just a replacement impeller, you have to buy a kit that includes the whole blower housing and all attachments, no matter what shape your current housing is

Pros: Performs just as advertised
Time and labor saver
Very well engineered and constructed
Cons: None
Summary: I've used my Commander model for four seasons now and have had no problems at all. It works just as advertised and I can stay ahead of the leaf "production" with ease each Fall. We're vacumning about 3/4 acre with numerous hardwoods. The volume reduction

Cons: Hard to handle when full, not very good on a minor slope.
Summary: Bought a cyclone rake to help with upkeep of a large property. So far it has done well. It really does pick up everything. Found more stuff in the grass than I care to mention. Is doing well during the fall, I can cut grass and rake leaves at the same

Pros: Engineered properly-Modular design is a thing of beaty.
Cons: Refilling air in small tires-need really small chuckLocktite or Nylock screws!
Summary: I have had my Cclone Rake for 9 years when I tell you it takes a beating I can speak from experience. I have an engineering backround & that is what made me pick the CR. I have only blown one piece in 8 years (The exit chute from impeller) and CR

Pros: It sucks up so well just like it should! even hard to rake twigs.
Cons: Heavy for shipping cost and storage.
Summary: After 9 years of use it keeps on running. With a few acres to mow and lots of leaves and grass to pick up, this vacuume really works. Just a word of advise, practice, practice, practice. The trailering caracteristics of the cyclone are reverse of your

Pros: Quality item, made in the USA. Fun to use.
Cons: Can't think of one.
Summary: Have had my Cyclone Rake, Mdl XL for over a year now, and I have to say, it is absolutely the best investment I've made in a while. I have not hand-raked ONE LEAF this season. I made it a point not to, just to see if the Cyclone Rake could handle it

Pros: Good engine. Easy to assemble with the instructions.
Cons: Bad strain on tractor tow plate. Difficult to back up. Engine exhaust blows at driver.
Summary: I spent a lot of money. Now the weight of the thing has the steel tow plate in my tractor actually torn. It has been welded twice and is now weakened. The swivel wheels make it hard to back up. Maybe it doesn't plug with leaves, but it plugs with grass.I

Pros: sucks leaves up quickly
Cons: Dust and ability to service
Summary: I love my Cyclone Rake. I do maintenance consistently. Make sure you replace the air filter often. Whatever is in the manual about the air filter...do it more often than that...this thing kicks up a ton of dust. My motor blew

Pros: Everything about this product is good.
Cons: As of yet we haven't found anything we don't like about it.
Summary: We have a 7 acres with lots of grass and trees. This was one of the best purchases we have made out here. We also have a very large garden. In the fall we just take all the garden debris and throw it on the ground and mulch it with the Cyclone Rake. Then
