          Works well 1 or 2 times, until it doesn’t.
          Product is under powered, but does well when the job in High mode. l Used it ones for Front yard. Only used 2 1/2 bags VS the usual 5. Used it again for the backyard, and it died just when I was finishing. Motor was not responding. 6aH battery still had 3 bars. Overall, the quality of this product is questionable at best. Cheap plastic all around. I can’t see any of the exterior plastic components lasting, especially bag clips, wheels. GET EXTENDED WARRANTY. It will die 1-2 seasons of use.

            Returned same day
            Purchased this product as I was tired of raking. Battery lasted roughly 10mins and picked up close to nothing. My dad laughed his butt off as he legitimately raked circles around me. Picture below is what I was able to vacuum on a full charge.

              Cut the string tying the 2 zippers together!
              Tip for prolonging the cheap zippers on the leaf collection bags: CUT THE STRING IN HALF THAT TIES THE 2 ZIPPERS TOGETHER. This way you can unzip each side independently and they don't get jammed as easily. Other than the bag the Vac Attack is a really great machine. Like another reviewer suggests I used a bungee to tie the bag clip to the collection tube so that it doesn't come off. Great for leaves. I've run it w/o the bag attached for turning over light mulch at the edges of my yard

                Plastic wheels too fragile
                I purchase this Cordless Battery Leaf Vacuum/Mulcher on January 18, 2023. This fall I finally got a chance to use it. The charger is on the slow side and you will need more than one battery to get the job done. This leaf vacuum does the job however before I even got through one fall season, one the plastic wheels broke. I was shocked on how poor, cheap and fragile the attachment wheels were. I have been trying to purchase replacement wheels with no luck.

                  This Vacuum Sucks (and that's a good thing)
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit would be perfect if Ryobi offered a separate hose attachment so that you could vacuum into a larger receptacle. Being cordless is the main benefit of this particular vacuum.

                    Buy something else
                    The wheels on this product are designed to fail and they are marked as wearable item so they will not be covered under their warranty. The whole wheel assembly is made of plastic including axles which are under a lot of stress unless you are using tool on a smooth surface. In addition the bag gets unhooked and you need to stop and reattach it again. Also 5'6" person needs to hold this heavy tool plus the bag with the leaves with bent arm.

                      Great while it lasted.
                      I bought at the end of last year and it worked fine. Started picking up leaves again this year and heard a loud noise - must have picked up some mulch or something. Killed it. Doesn’t work now.

                        Light Duty, Dry/Single-Leaf Vacuum
                        The VacAttack is ideal for mulching 1-2 leaves at a time over even ground, with dry leaves only. Even slight moisture, or occasional pine cones, will cause clumping that requires disassembly of the device to unclog. It would be faster to use a long stick with a nail attached to clear leaves than use the Vac Attack in your yard; you can easily anticipate spending more time removing leaves from the inlet tube or impeller housing than you will actually mulching leaves. Very cheap construction.

                          Get the job done?
                          I have one Red Oak. Raked all of the leaves up in to one long, 2-2.5’ high, stack. First. You need to go slow to allow the unit to pull in the leaves and mulch them through to the bag. You cannot just go bonkers wild and expect this is going to be really quick. This is very good for rolling around and picking up leaves here and there. It will do a big job like but will likely take 5-6 fully charged batteries, and same amount of time. You can just rake and bag them leaves faster.
