How much does a new leaf vacuum typically cost?

As of January 2016, leaf vacuums can range in price anywhere from $70 for a handheld model to $1,300 for a tow-behind model. There are many price points in between, depending on features included.

Handheld leaf vacuums can mulch 16 bags of leaves down to just one. Some models also include a blower. The leaf vacuums come in both electric and gas versions, with the electric versions on the lower end of the price range and the gas versions on the higher end.

The tow-behind models hook up to a ride-on mower or tractor, and the collector bins fold down to less than 5 inches thick for storage when not in use. The cart it sits also serves as a general utility cart.
