Ohio Steel 4222V2 Lawn Sweeper, 22 cu.ft, Gray

It was a great item. Would work well with a big yard. Well made and easy to set up.

We’ve used it about 5 times and have not been disappointed. It works like an outdoor vacuum cleaner. The brush rotates and basically sweeps up grass, twigs, dog droppings or whatever is in its path. Once it fills up we dump it in our compost pile or give it to our goats to eat. It’s saved us from alot of taking. So far it has worked well.

Ohio Steel 4222V2 Lawn Sweeper: The item arrived with slight damage to the outer packaging and a small dent in the front. This did not affect the efficiency of the sweeper. This thing is awesome. Once you have the sweeper height set correctly (don't try to be too aggressive), it lifts grass, leaves, acorns, small twigs, etc. with ease. I bought this for to simplify maintaining my mother's property as there is a Pin Oak and Magnolia that are horrid for their leaves in fall and early spring. This makes it so much easier to collect the leaves for mulching and/or compost. It's also incredibly effective for grass and will leave a nice stripe due to the counter rotation of the sweeper. One recommendation would be to make a small wooden handle for the dumping rope or wear gloves. The collection bag gets rather heavy if the grass is even slightly damp or fresh cut. A small handle helps greatly. Also, this will make lower power mowers a little squirrely or slow. Any mower that has a tendency to slide will do so even more when the bag is full and trying to turn up hill, etc. Lastly, I don't know that it will cause damage to lower power mowers, but the transmissions aren't typically designed with the idea of pulling 22 cubic feet of wet grass up hill. Best to not let it get too full instead of risking premature failure of consumer grade transmissions.

It does a good job at sweeping my yard and picking up pine combs and some other small debri.

This is an outstanding machine I have a yard and it has a lot of stuff on the ground I was not gentle with it and it did a great job. I had my doubts, from sticks to Spanish moss to Cyprus needles it did the job. I would highly recommend it as it's built very stout very happy with my purchase.

Leagues ahead of other leaf sweeper options. Easy to assemble and very durable. 100% recommend.

2nd update. The bar along the bottom of the bag snapped in half. I got two years out of it but am going to have to either buy another bag or upgrade. All I do is sweep a backyard about 6 or 8 times a year. Still highly disappointed. Update. Bag is a bust. Unless you have very flat land and can use it on turf the bag is going to fall apart. I use it on a sloping yard to control weeds and it’s hard packed dirt. The bag is falling apart after 8 or 10 uses. The bottom gets cracks that need to be guerilla taped after every use now. I am still pissed at myself for not catching that it was was not offset. If I had not waited too long to return it I probably would have because it is not offset. I just waited to long to assemble before I figured it out. Pros: Its big and wide and sweeps all the little bits and even the tiny dried up chihuahua poops I miss when scooping. It does a great job at it. I finally was able to use it after all the rain in Cali and was pleasantly surprised at how well it sweeps. Cons: the bag has ripped after 3 uses. You can’t fill it too much if the grass is green because it very heavy so you just have to make a bunch of dump trips. The screw holding the support that holds the bag up keeps falling out. It’s now lost and the support is bent. We fixed it but the support pushed through the bottom before it was repaired. And don’t drop the dump rope. It gets sucked in. IT IS NOT OFFSET.

This thing works awesome. The amount of grass it picks up is unbelievable. Hardly leaves anything behind.

Not happy with this product the sweeper brushes were not installed properly from the factory came loose, twisted and bent and broke
