Summary: ZIPTRAV
Comment: I HAVE THE PREVIOUS MODEL AND FROM OTHER COMMENTS, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THEY HAVE IMPROVED THIS THING. THE BEST WORD TO DESCRIBE IT IS FLIMSY. THE BRIGGS AND STRATTON IN FALL WEATHER HAS TO BE STARTED WITH STARTING FLUID. THE CLOTH ATTACHMENT TO THE LEAF BOX RIPPED AFTER THE FIRST YEAR.
THE TILT ANGLE IS NOT ENOUGH TO DUMP THE LEAVES. PLAN ON USING YOUR OWN INGENUITY, TIME AND MONEY TO IMPROVE THIS LACKLUSTER DESIGN. IT IS HALF BAKED.

Summary: mow - vac
Comment: I have had really great success with the mow - n - vac. BUT, like others, I find fault with the tongue and it's tendency to tilt due to the weight. Also the boot around the discharge to the cart wore out in less than 2 years!
The molded plastic housing coming up from the impeller wore through in the 1st year!
The inboard top corner on the deck attaching box has wore through from the insde, indicating it is not thick enough.
There should be a swivel on the discharge tube, incorporated with a self unloader p/u.

Summary: Good...but could be a lot better
Comment: The motor/shredder unit (the heaviest part of the machine) is tongue mounted and moves considerably side-to-side as the terrain changes, causing the discharge elbow to get out of alignment with the opening in the leaf cart. This causes the connecting boot to wear out almost immediately. In addition, the tilt/dump feature is worthless since debris still has to be raked out.
This could be a great machine if the manufacturer would simply beef up the framing, tie the motor and cart to that framing, and eliminate the dumping feature. The philosophy is great, but the design is lacking...be prepared to re-build it yourself if satisfaction is the goal.

Editorial Reviews:
5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine creates a powerful vacuum action that pulls it all into the bin. Discharge adapter fits up to 50in. cutting decks (right hand discharge only). Cart with extra-long tongue and 1/2in. hitch pin included. Ships truck freight. U.S.A.
