I have been looking for a well built lawn sweeper for at least five years. After reading reviews & pricing I decided to go with the OHIO STEEL PROFESSIONAL GRADE 42SWP22. Sweeper has sealed bearings on axle & has a 22 cubit ft. hopper. It took my son & I about 90 minutes to complete assembly. It's not perfect but does an excellent job picking up pine straw, pine cones, leaves, twigs etc. Level ground usually takes one pass, uneven ground maybe two or three passes. I am truly impressed with this sweeper that I ordered on Tuesday Nov. 12 & it arrived today Thursday Nov. 14. I found it on sale online at Walmart for $219.99 plus tax $233.19 & free shipping FEDEX. The sweeper weighs 85 lbs. & a helper makes assembly a snap. I did see this sweeper on another website for $377. Just thought I'd pass this information along after researching lawn sweepers for product quality, performance, & pricing. Walmart does sell a 50" OHIO STEEL PROFESSIONAL GRADE sweeper for $239.99 plus tax & free shipping.
Will try to post pictures tomorrow, suppose to be sunny!
