Will this unit pick up Acorns ?

I have never tried to pick up something like acorns. The machine has plenty of torque and power. My guess is it would.

Pretty sure it will. Mine picked up rocks, so I had to be ultra careful. If the acorns are out of the shell, they'll be toast with this unit. Hope it helps.

Not sure, I don't have any on my property. I expect that it can suck up dried out acorns but I'm not sure about fresh off of the tree acorns. The shape of the acorn doesn't offer a lot of surface area plus it is rounded so not a whole lot for airflow to act upon.

I would say if it is like pea gravel or some type of small rock it may be helpful, but I'm afraid it would pick up larger landscaping type rock. When I use them to pick up leaves they even get some dirt

Yes, it will pick up small amounts of leaves; this a feature I like since we have a number of trees on or behind our property.

Yes- it can pick up small bugs. It would not be able to get field mice- but teeny bugs would be no problem.

It will pick up almonds and raisins. I also tried half of a pretzel (about the size of a Quarter) and it would not pick that up but I broke it in half again (about the size of a dime) and it would pick it up. This was on a tile floor. Hope this helps.

I pick up small fruits (cherry I think) that are about an inch give or take. I also use it to pick up a small apple, 2-2 1/2 inches. If the acorns are in this range, your good. If they are smaller than that, there is another smaller version of this same tool meant for nuts and whatnot.

Yes, the nut wizard works very well picking up filberts(hazelnuts) so I think it should work with hickory nuts, but not shell parts.

My husband did use it for acorns. We had Oak trees all over and lots of acorns. The real big ones you would probably need the larger device. Our neighbor used hers for gum balls. It was a great device to use. Good luck.

It just does not work. The deer graze within feet of the unit. I do not know about squirrels since they ar not a problem in my garden but I doubt this thin will help.

I believe it will. It picks up small leaves and even grass clippings in our yard.

I have a ton of acorns worn my oak leaves and they bang around some before falling through. I'm betting they shorten the cord life but don't hurt the machine that I can tell

Yes it will. I have an oak tree in my front yard and the acorns and the leaves were eaten and mulched!

It will handle them, the vac function works very well and the mulching blade is durable. However it will be very noisy with the acorns being ground up! On the down side, the blowing function does not work well for anything heavier than dry leaves - the end of the nozzle is too small to allow a lot of air out.

Don't know about acorns. Mine picks up some small, hard nuts (like pistachio sized) without problem.

Should be no problem with the leaves & small acorns. Live down in the south where there's mostly pine trees, magnolias, and burr oaks. Picks up and shreds magnolia leaves just fine and magnolia leaves are even worse than oak leaves with regards to being thick and never decomposing. This Toro I'm sure would have the suction to pick up the acorns, but I don't know how much they'd actually be mulched or what it may do to the impeller blades. Live and learn.

It will pick up the pea gravel and small rocks with the leaves. Don't know about the berries.

It doesn't have what you'd consider normal suction. The hose that attaches is a garden hose. It creates a swirl of water in the water that lifts the leaves up and into the bag. I don't think it would work on acorns, especially considering that it runs pretty flush with the bottom of the pool.
