so back to sweeping I guess?

I recently bought a Kärcher push sweeper and it's life changing. Completely silent and cleanup same sized patio space in fraction of the time. Yet when I recommend it others the response is usually "na I need my blower" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To be fair, that sweeper isn't an exact replacement for a blower. It works on hard surfaces, but a blower works everywhere.
When I was a kid, the city would send trucks around in the fall to vacuum up piles of leaves left at the curb.

I think it would be cool to vacuum things up.

Naw, we'll go to using the water hose and a sprayer!

It's not as uncommon as you might think/hope.
