I just saw an ad for the DR vacuum on YooToob. They had two versions. Looked interesting. I don’t have that many leaves, though.

They are not cheap, $1200 for a used one on FB Marketplace... Around $4k new.

With the number of trees I have, it would pay for itself in a couple of seasons in time saved and/or hiring someone in to do it each Fall.

Yes. It’s not my skillset, for sure.

Douglas Adams was the comedy writer for the BBC who authored “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” in which is found a pithy line concerning the fate of a certain small dwelling in the UK:

“They knocked down Arthur’s house anyway, but it didn’t matter a pair of fetid dingo’s kidneys what happened to one cottage on an island that completely and utterly failed to exist 13 minutes later.”

I was confusing Douglas with Scott.

Dilbert once called his boss a “fetid” something or other and when he realized his boss was listening he said he was going to order something with “fetid cheese.” The boss threatned to look up the words Dilbert was using.

Yeah. Scott Adams is a national treasure.
“Dilbert” really made the grade.

I suspect that it was a “found image” that someone saw from sitting across the room at the right angle….
