Shop-Vac 4050010 Shop Sweep Indoor/Outdoor Vacuum

Much better than a broom
This little outdoor vacuum works great. It is small enough to maneuver into tight spaces and around objects. Yet, it is powerful enough to do the job. I use it to pick up leaves and other debris from my walkway and large driveway. I was surprised that it even picked up trash on the edge of the unit. The vacuum has two height adjustments so you can set it slightly higher when your pile of fallen leaves is a little too high. The 8 gallon bag blocks most of the dust unlike other outdoor vacuums I have used. If you have 20 trees that drop their leaves in the fall, you will need something much bigger. But, for small to medium walkways and parking lots this vacuum will do the job.

Pros:
Good suction
Light weight
Maneuverable
Picks up along edges

Cons:
A little loud

Barn aisle application
I use this vacuum in a 14' by 204' asphalt barn aisle. It works great. I have a 60 year old industrial vacuum I used to use, but it is a beast to wrestle around. This is light and handy for daily clean ups as well as a twice weekly thorough cleaning of the entire aisle. It picks up hay, shavings and dust well.

Shop Vac Sweeper
I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with this sweeper. I use it to vacuum the patio and driveway. It cleans up the debris with little difficulty, and the bag is easy to detach and empty. One minor complaint is that, if the bag is full, the kick stand which holds the vacuum in an upright position doesn't function correctly, and the vacuum may topple over. Other than that, this device works quite well.
