Medium Nut Wizard 14" for English Walnuts, Chestnuts, Golf Balls

I live in North Carolina where the acorn drop is at a record high this year! I tried to rake them out of my lawn but it was destroying the grass. I tried to vacuum using my high-powered vacuum/blower but few would vacuum and I was concerned about damaging the mulching blades in my unit. My wife found the Nut Wizard using a search engine. I told her that I highly doubted it would work and, even if it did, it would still probably take a long time.I decided to check Amazon.com because the reviews are usually quite comprehensive, prices are good, and I have had very good luck with both Amazon and the 3rd-party merchants - either at least as good as expected or they make good on it. The unit arrived in great condition and assembly took only a minute.In a nutshell - I am extremely pleased with the nut wizard! It works as well as advertised and I cleared my yard (not too large) in just over an hour. The only issue that I had was that some of the acorns that had been a bit mashed-in by two mowings primarily to remove leaves did not pick up - but it did for the vast majority of even those!This is a very worthwhile device

This is EXACTLY what I needed to quickly and painlessly pick up the hundreds of mockernut hickory nuts in our new home's backyard. We moved in last winter and I was shocked to find how many dropped this fall! Much better than raking or bending over to pick up. I have a gorilla cart I tote around with me for emptying as this does fill up quickly.I will also echo some other reviews that once it becomes too full you need to empty as a new nut entering can sometimes push a previously captured nut out. It is also not 100% effective at pieces of the nuts as they can sometimes get stuck between the wires causing nuts to escape. Despite these minor flaws, I would buy this again and have recommended it to our new neighbors who have similar trees!

I bought this to keep from bending over at the range. When you consider bending over several hundred times this tool is priceless. Is it perfect? No. Does it pickup 95% of my pistol brass. You bet. It rarely picks up rocks or foreign objects and is easy to empty with a 5 gal bucket and the "unloader" that is an option. This tool would be a bargain at $250.00 but thankfully it costs far less. Less, even, than a trip to the doctor's office!

Great concept but nuts fall out when full. If you have a lot of acorns like I do it's better to purchase largest one or a lawn sweeper. Great for small areas.

I have two queen palm trees in my yard that are too tall for me to prune. They bear fruit about the size of acorns and drop it all over the ground. When I ordered this, my yard was orange colored from the fruit. It took about two minutes to get the fruits off of the sidewalk. It was easy and required very little pressure. A few of the fruits fell back out as more were coming in so I had to go over them twice. The remainder of the fruits had fallen on top of soft mulch. These were more difficult to get up because of the soft ground and the fact that the fruits were piled on top of each other. However, I was able to get most of the fruit up by applying pressure. Some of them were just too moist and just became flattened and mashed. I will go back to them and have confidence they will come up after a couple of days drying in the sun.The downside was that this didn't come with the dumper, and a full basket of fruit is heavy and sticky. It was messy getting the fruit out. I ordered the small dumper and when it arrived, it made emptying the basket easy. I highly recommend ordering the dumper at the same time if you're going to do a big job or use it to pick up fruits.

The nut wizard is a fantastic tool. It is a quality made tool and should last me for very long time. At first I thought it was on the expensive side but after seeing it and using it I have no problems with the price for it will save me alot of time harvesting my English Walnuts. My compliments to the manufacturer. It is light, works great and has made harvesting walnuts a pleasure and fast.nzcjbj

I usually don't bother with reviews, but this thing works really well. We have 50 English walnut trees. If we have a wet spring, there are a number of bad nuts that drop early and need to be picked up by hand. Just did the whole orchard in less than an hour(two 5 gallon buckets). The nuts just leap into this contraption. As a note, they included a neat little device that unloads the wizard into a 5 gallon bucket. Looking forward to harvest time. No more aching back.

This roller does a fine job of pushing the nuts into the ground. Unfortunately it does not do much to catch and gather them. The idea is clever, if only it actually worked. Plus if the shells have separated from the nuts this does nothing to gather the shells.It was basically a waste of $70. I should have used that money to hire someone to rake the yard.
