What Materials Can Be Vacuumed with the ECHO® Shred 'N' Vac?

ECHO® Shred 'N' Vac models are designed to vacuum dry leaves, grass clippings, light garden debris, and small twigs up to 1/4" in diameter and 3" long.


Damp leaves can also be vacuumed; however, leaves that are too wet may clog the suction pipe and may not shred completely.


Do not vacuum materials such as:

  • Gravel or rocks
  • Pinecones
  • Acorns
  • Mulch


For best results, ECHO® recommends using the unit as a blower first to clear away materials that should not be vacuumed.
