There are two different 42" lawn sweepers on the Sears web site: Model# 24222 (Craftsman 42 in. High Speed Sweeper) and model #24237 (Craftsman 42 in. Tow Sweeper). The latter is $30 more than the former. I can't tell the difference between the two from the specifications. Is there something that I'm missing?
The links for the two pages are:
Thanks in advance!!
High Speed Sweeper: Craftsman Exclusive - 8.5 to 1 brush to wheel ratio - 70 percent more brush revoltion(sic) versus other brands, faster truning(sic) brushes = more sweeping action
after scrutinizing the descriptions, the only difference i can come up with is that the higher priced one weighs more and holds less. It does boast the gear ratio on the brush bar, so it makes you wonder if the other one is slower spinning.

I don't know if Craftsman lawn care products are as terrible as the rest of the tools today but if they are I would avoid them like the plague. With that said there are many brands on the market that are higher quality and lower cost than the Sears crap. Shop around, you'll be glad you did.

Do you have any particular recommendations?
The specs on the less expensive one gives the same wheel diameter and "brush to wheel ratio," so I would guess that the brushes spin at the same speed?
Almost all, if not all, the sweepers I've seen are made by MTD and just get different colors and branding.
Sounds about like the entry-level snow blowers sold at the big-boxes. You look at the stamped parts, and they mostly are identical.

Hey Ben, I got the most powerful Husqvarna backpack gasoline blower. Not cheap at $600, but it will move a 10-foot pile of leaves with ease. I have about 200 trees on my lot. I might be easier for a heavier guy, I'm 165# and it can knock me down if pointed at a wall. I use it in the summer to sweep the driveway, walks and street after mowing the lawn.
