$55 model:
$75 model:
There is also a $99 one that looks just like the $75 one, but it has an attachment that is supposed to make it mulch better, and another to oscillate it from side-to-side, just to make cyberbullies and trolls happy.
I used the newer one this morning briefly, but it started raining. I had a huge pile from the first vacuum, I filled the bag eight times. The cheaper one is supposed to reduce 81% of debris to 1/2" or less, while the more expensive one is supposed to do 88%. That means 19% not reduced to 12%.
It seemed like a dramatic difference, but I am not sure it is compacting much more, which is not important, it should definitely compost better!
The expensive one is supposed to reduce 91% of debris, but it has the same motor and impeller. Then there is the $200 one with racing stripes and stickers for your car because you stopped reading by now.
