I need to use a leaf canister with it and if I can't, it's a deal breaker. Anyone know for sure?

We purchased a Voyager and used the in-line leaf canister we had used with a different pool sweep. It was a simple matter of using the adapters. Looks like Dave has already answered this, but wanted you to know from a customer perspective that it works.

Hi, and thanks for your interest in our cleaner. One of our hose ends fits one end of a standard (e.g. Hayward) leaf catcher....for the other side you would use an adapter which we can include with your purchase. Just make sure I have your name and address and can identify you as the party needing the adapter. Thanks, Dave, at Poolmaid USA, 954-270-7653

Check your hose connection, this model is known to have the hose disconnect to the vacuum while being used, and it spills your dirt all back into the air instead of into the canister. It's awful.

Maple about as big as I have used it on. However, if the leaves are dry, I don't see it being an issue. It's like a weed whip inside of the funnel and they just stay on top until the leaves have been shredded on through.

I honestly don't know, but I doubt it. I am pretty sure it isn't wide enough to hold the canister. It isn't designed to hold much weight.

No, I believe any canister will work for it. I bought canisters that weren't Iwatani and they work just fine!

There is a hose connection on the side and pretty good instructions on how to attach and get the suction going; it would not pick up acorns; it barely picks up leaves

I've never used mine that way but I would say yes you could lay it down on the ground and blow leaves directly into it

I said yes but it's NO!!!!! BUT! The problem is not the length it is the depth. The canister is 9 inches at its deepest end. I got out the measuring tape ...you will have to take apart the long solid attachment to the hose each time you store it and reassemble everything for each use. The canister measures about 18 inches max. The "wand" is "telescopic" so instead of breaking into 2 parts, it retracts into itself and can be detached from the hose and the "floor tool" if you do this, the wand is 24 inches long.

I used this to pick up newly fallen leaves, not mulched leaves. Esentially it is a hose that connects to your leaf blower/vac and would depend on how powerful your vac is. I would think that would work but would depend on how fine the leaves are mulched and the power of your vac. Good luck!

yes it may suck in small leaves but any heavy leaf debris it cannot deal with. It is only a small apparatus.

You have to have the other piece that attaches to the blower. It will have an opening that the leaf bag will attach to also. If you don't have this part you can't use the vacuum option.

lol you will be lucky if it sucks up a leaf . unless you have really small fry i wouldn't worry too much, poor suction!

It will not fit anything that does not have a ROUND opening where the blower attachment is attached. Look at the the pic. of all the tubing and you will see that it is all ROUND! I don't know of any blowers that now now have a round opening for the blower attachment. Plus about all this thing would do, even if it fit the blower would be to blow dry leaves out of gutter back onto roof which means the leaves would fall back into gutters. It might work with a shop vac. that you would use by attaching tubing to exhaust end and use as a blower or it may suck the leaves out as a vacuum.

It would work but you would be constantly emptying it. The capacity of the canister is not designed for that type of application. You may want to look into buying a STIHL or other brand of yard vacuum that would be designed for yard work like you described.

No, i think it would clog the impellers. You may want to drain out as much as possible and then use a industrial wet/dry vaccum to get the leaves out

Well, it is good for many leaves, after a certain quantity ( or if the leaves are big and/or rigid) it is better to stop the unit and to proceed to clean it because they get captured at the entrance of the filter . I any case it works very well .

On the bottom of the unit there's a plastic tab. It takes more pressure on the tab than I'm comfortable with to release the catch that holds the tube, and you may need to push/pull the tube away from the housing while pressing hard on the tab. Removing the leaf attachment is harder, 'cuz there's less leverage.
