Choosing the right Cyclone Rake is easy. This comparison chart highlights the product features for each of the four Cyclone Rake models. When choosing a lawn vacuum, remember there are no hard and fast rules about property size. Everyone’s needs are different. Sometimes smaller properties have more difficult requirements or heavier leaf cover than properties of larger acreage. Be sure to consider the number of trees that shed on your property and the actual lawn area. Also, consider whether your property is flat, hilly, open, or congested. Steep grades and tight spaces are better served by the Cyclone Rake Classic or Commander models. Larger mowers and properties with heavy leaf cover will benefit from the increased capacity and vacuum power of the Cyclone Rake Commercial Pro or XL models.
