Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt 5.5 HP Chipper Shredder Vacuum 24B060F-766
Customer Review: Awesome Machine, A Real Time Saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I purchased this Troy-Built machine I researched Lawn Vacuums up and down, hither and yon. I spoke with telephone reps for all kinds of lawn vacs. I visited retailers and I searched the internet.
You can spend anywhere from $500 to as much as $2,000 on a walk behind leaf vacuum.
I was prepared to spend up to $2,000 to ease my leaf collection woes.
After all that research and multiple discussions with sales people and lawn vacuum users, I decided to buy this Troy-Built unit. The others it seemed would do the same thing, but would cost so much more!
I have been using this Leaf Vacuum all season and it works like a charm. Anyone who is disappointed in it may have had unrealistic expecations. Use it like a lawn mower. You don't let your grass get too long before you mow, right? You mow every week in the growing season to keep things under control.
Same with this machine. Stay on top of your leaves and you will have an easy time with it.
Don't get me wrong, it will pick up heavier piles of leaves also. You will just end up emptying the bag a little more often.
Really the bag size is the only thing I would change. It does fill quick when the leaves are heavy on the ground. But for this price, the bag size is fine and does the trick.
Hose works okay, 4 out of 5, but I didn't buy it for the hose. It's just a bonus tool. And for a bonus tool it is great.
Chipper works well for 1" branches. Again, not the primary reason for my purchase, but a nice bonus option. When the nozzle won't pick up a branch just grab it and shove it in the chipper. It'll be ground up in no time.
Thanks to this beauty of a machine, my yard looked neat and clean throughout the leaf raking season and I had time for other activities! For the price you will pay for this size machine it does a wonderful job and is a real time saver!
If you are on the fence buy it and use it once, you'll be happy.
If your wife says you can't afford it, buy it, use it once and then take her to dinner during your free time when you would normally be still raking leaves. She'll love it from then on out and will likely never question another one of your power tool purchases! Double bonus! This alone is worth the purchase price. A power tool that pays for itself in future power tool purchase permission - what a deal!!
Seriously, you'll be pleased, give it a try!"
