Fall, for all its beauty, is a real pain if you have a yard. All those leaves are certainly gorgeous to look at but decidedly less so if they’re covering your yard and preventing grass from growing effectively. Sure, you can use a blower to push them into piles, but you still have to dispose of them one way or another. And cleaning them up by hand can take forever, which is where a leaf vacuum can be a huge time saver.
As evidenced by its name, leaf vacuums suck up all those leaves into a bag to make disposal even easier. Some leaf vacuums also include a blower and shredder functionality. You can switch between to make the entire clean-up process move much faster. All of our selections are electric, which means you don’t need to worry about getting gas to fill it up or bother with extra weight. Instead, get an extension cord or charge a battery pack, and you’ll be all set. Here are eight of our favorites to help you clean up your yard in no time and get back to enjoying the beauty of fall.
