+1.

And then you have rake all the grass on a heap, and then put it in a wheel barrow, and then move it to the compost heap or the trailer...

I can see how it is fun to use if you are someone like my deceased grandfather, who religiously maintained his little garden so that it was perfect, every day of the year.

My, I have so much work in the house that I can't really be bothered to do more than cut the hedges once a year, and mow the lawn whenever the weeds get too high.
The grass itself doesn't grow too fast, but the weed do indeed grow almost a foot a week.
