Outdoor leaf vacuum

get a cheap shop vac and take the filter out

I have a Ryobi 40v one that’s worked better than a gas one I had previously.

For the leaf in the pool problem - Beta-bot pool skimmer. I got this for my 86-year-old dad for his birthday / Father's Day, and he has not used the net since June. This works great for surface debris. I am curious how it will work in the fall because they have a crap ton of trees surrounding the pool.

If anyone is shopping for one, Leslie's is cheaper than directly with the company with an extra year warranty, and remote and about $30 cheaper.

Does anyone have or know about an outdoor vacuum that works? My neighbor has a tree that drops leaves on my pool deck, which eventually gets in the pool. I am looking for something my son can go out there and vacuum them up. Any ideas?

Interesting that you brought this up. I have a pool cage here in Florida around my pool. Inside the cage, I have a good many potted plants. A lot of them are dropping leaves and flowers on the deck which eventually end up in the pool. I have been using a 40v Ryobi blower to blow the leaves around and eventually blow them out the doors of the cage but it is somewhat of a task doing that

Last week I found this leaf vacuum on marketplace for $50. I already had the batteries so I bought it. I am not sure how good of a yard tool it is but for working around the pool and flower pots, I can vacuum up the debris before it ends up in the pool fairly easily. Even if they leaves are wet, it has enough power to suck them up. It is doing exactly what I needed it to do.
