I bought one of these about a month ago.I found the instructions ok. Took about an hour to assemble and all of the pieces were there. The sweeper itself does an excellent job. Much better than the 25 year old agrifab unit I replaced. The basket is the downfall of this unit. It is too light and flimsy for the task at hand. One of the 3/16 spring steel rods in back fell out on its first time out. The velcro lets go. It is large and fills up well but the payload won't dump through the available opening between the sweeper and the basket. I have to pull out the grass by the armful. This really should be re-engineered. Make the basket more durable and fix the dumping issue and it would be a great product.

A couple of weeks ago I ordered one of these sweepers. The arrival and pickup were everything I've come to expect from TSC. Pro tip: don't expect a fast delivery.
I was happy to get the sweeper home. The day was nice, so I started to assemble the unit in my workshop. The first thing I found was the instructions were ambiguous. Pro tip: go to the Agri-Fab website and watch the videos, it will be a great help.
Once assembled, I took the unit for a spin and it did what I was hoping it would do. It picked up all the leaves from last fall. As a bonus, it also picked up small branches too which was nice. The hopper bag is a good size so you will not be emptying it as often.
The one failure in this unit is the hopper bag. It is very flimsy and held to the frame with Velcro. Twice during the first use I had to reattach the Velcro. Sadly the hopper bag has those 3 words I hate... Made In China. I don't know how long it will last but when it fails I'll replace it with canvas.

But the bag is poorly designed and needs replacing every 5 years or so. This is the reason for the 4 not 5 stars.
It sweeps up efficiently and the bag holds a lot.
Highly recommend even though it’s pricey 704829
