First the rake came incomplete. Then when I received the missing part
the screw was not included and I had to scrounge to find the right screw.
After I finally got it together I found it was too short. I tried to
call Customer Service, left a message but never received a reply. I am
5'10" and I had to bend to use it. The leaves I tried to pick up were wet
and the rake wasn't sturdy enough to hold them all together.

I was disapointed. The rake was rather heavy, and awkward. However, I could have lived with this, but the rake simply doesn't pick up enough leaves to make it worthwhile. When you "close" the rake, most of the leaves are forced out. I returned the rake. The good news is that the Amazon return process is really slick.

The rake works fine, wish it would pick up more leaves than
it does. It does save one from bending down less, so it does
save ones back to a great degree.

The foldup rake is a real back saver when you have a lot of leaves to gather. I used mine a lot in the fall. jim foutty
