Pros: Solid and thoughtful construction, POWERFUL, large capacity, design makes it easy to get everywhere!
Cons: Um... I don't like green? Otherwise, nothing!
Summary: This thing is phenomenal. When I was putting it together, I kept waiting to find a part that they skimped on and I never did. Everything was solidly constructed, and well thought through. The unit is attached to my 20 year old John Deere tractor and woks

Pros: Large capacity!
Cons: Noisy, but earplugs solve it!
Summary: I annually would begin dreading leaf season in mid-August. We live on a heavily wooded lot, and each year I'd spend every fall weekend raking, mowing, and dragging leaves around. I finally relented and bought the Cyclone Rake. I've used it for 3

Pros: Very powerful suction, timesaver and worth the money.
Cons: Very,very loud.
Summary: Money was tight so I looked and grabbed one of EBAY and saved a couple of hundred dollars. Driving almost 2 hours and disassembling/reassembling this nuts and bolt unit I started to think I had made a huge mistake. It was most worth all the

Pros: It really does work
Cons: none
Summary: I waited a few years before I finally parted w/ the money. It isn't cheap. But it does work just like it says it does. What used to take me 7 hours, now takes just over 2. I have 2+ cleared acres surrounded by dense woods. I used to have to mulch

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

Cons: Needs additional tweeking for the frame and mower boot.

Hard to "assemble".

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: The Cyclone Rake is easy to assemble and to store.
Cons: I find the zipper on the collection container is extremely hard to open and close.
Summary: I recently purchased the small model of the Cyclone Rake. It does a fantastic job of clearing the leaves and other debris from the yard. It is nice to take the hose and suck the leaves out of the ground cover around the trees as well as leaves from

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
