Can the Aqua Broom pick up small pebbles or stones?

Ihaven't had to remove pebbles or stones. It does well on bugs, but not algae and i have the "fine" filter bag that is supposed to remove algae.

I would say no, since it runs on batteries the suction is pretty low but does well with grass and other light stuff

Definitely not. It isn't even powerful enough to pick up the algae flakes. And, the way it's designed to turn on and off causes water to seep into the battery compartment if your not careful. Al in all, a complete waste of money.

It picks up for maybe like 5 times of using then it starts acting up almost like it does not belong in water

Yes it is, buttttt - this little machine is only good for very, very loose soil. I have the same 40' x 40' garden spot for 37 years and small stones seem to "grow". I will never get rid of them and this little machince bounces around like a rubber ball.

It depends. I use it to pick up nails, bolts, ect. It would pick up stuff out of the ground if the objects are not to deep, the ground is soft, ect.

I bought one of these not too long ago and it kinda works fine to clean a small tank. It's battery operated so not extremely powerful but it did pick up the food and waste. There is a video on YouTube that shows you how to rig this so that it has a bit more suction and that helped.

Please be aware this is NOT A VACUUM. It does what a broom or mop would do. So yes it would pick up some dust on the cloth, but dust/sand would be pushed around also.

Works great. Vacuum will pick small mulch . Can use lower speed and will not get the larger pieces. About 3/4 "Will stay on ground. I have small rock and they stay put.

Yes, works great even on items with little gems that tend to collect lots of grime.

I doubt it. We use it to break up clods of dirt and manure, and to rake the arena. It does a pretty good job at that, but anything heavy like a boulder it bounces over, and it does catch debris in the tines.

I cannot say because we don't have a problem with them, but it does pick up things that are quite small...including my wife's wedding ring thank heaven's! ...we may have lucked out on that, but it did find it for us. The device meets our needs very well as a lawn sweeper, and I'm please with the purchase.

I would say yes! I'm able to drag it across the bottom of the pool picking up bugs & grass.. I think pebbles would be easy too by dragging from bottom to sides and up.

The suction pads are poor will not stay in place. Look at buying different stones. Not very good.

Yes, it picks it up fairly well and lets it go just as well. I've used it on rhinestones of all sizes as well as very tiny nail art beads.

I would think so, once the suction starts, it can even suck up small rocks. But, if you just let the water/sand mixture drain into a bucket, you could just rinse it off and put it back in your tank.

Our area has NO stones at all. But judging from how it works, I'd say it would suck small stones up very easily.

I purchased it for my uncle's 10 acre property, mostly to clean up brush and weeds. It does smooth the soil, and will move rocks and gravel around, but I dont think it would be effective to actually remove them. We did use it for grading some areas on the property that were heavy with gravel, but the gravel is still there - just leveled out.

I'm not sure how big the river rock pieces are. I think the shovel is very sturdy, but having moved river rock before, I think it would take a long time with this or any other "shovel". It would be hard to get "under" and pick up very much at once. Perhaps some kind of "flat" shovel would be better if it's done by hand ??

It is a great vacum, but would pick up gravel as well, you would be best to blow the line needles and then pick up from non gravel area
