Me too - I bought one (admittedly a cheap one) and it was cumbersome,
inefficient and basically *useless*. I went back to using a rake. Useful
bit of exercise!
Son with new house bought one of these and as far as I know has only used
it once and declared it useless as a sucking device. Said many of the
leaves were stuck to the path and didn't budge.

Mine has three modes..
blow, useful for getting leaves into a pile.
suck, useful for getting the leaves up.
blow and suck at the same time.. it has a small jet that lifts wet leaves
and stuff off the paths and they then get sucked into the bag.
