Cyclone rake

[CASTnBLAST]

I've been considering one of these units since we have a large yard with many trees mostly oak. It's an almost all day job with my lawnmower/bagger even when I do it 2-3 times before snow. The DR models have a chipper which would be nice but their hard sided design would take a bunch of precious garage storage whereas the Cyclone folds up flat against the wall. Anyone have one or know how they work? Thanks.

I have had one for several years, 5 acres with over 100 oak trees. Does a great job, good quality, would buy another one.

We have half that acreage/trees but still quite a chore since we are protected from the wind,the leaves stay put. Waiting for the DVD/info pack to arrive but am almost convinced to commit already,thanks for your input.
