Leaves, grit, long drives · review
Twenty litres and 2 600 m²/h, sold in three of the five European stores we check.
The bottom line Competitive numbers, narrow availability, and no visible spares plan. Fine as a cheap first sweeper.
The HEMMDAL HKM65 offers 650 mm of width, a quoted 2 600 m²/h and a 20-litre container — the same headline figures as machines costing more.
On paper it is the equal of the Scheppach S800 in this group. The difference is what stands behind it: brush sets, spare parts and a brand that will still be selling them in three years. On a machine whose only wearing part is its bristles, that is the question worth asking before the price.
The listing states it is for dry surfaces. Every sweeper on this page shares that limit and few say so. Wet leaves are the specific failure: they wrap the roller and stop it, and no amount of pushing helps.
There is no motor. Pushing turns the wheels, the wheels drive the roller through a gear, and the roller throws debris forward into the hopper. Walking pace is the design speed — going faster throws more over the top of the hopper than into it.
Verified on Germany, the UK and France. Verified absent from the US, Italian and Spanish stores — readers there are sent to a local search.

Yes, and it is to the listing's credit that it says so. Wet leaves mat around the roller and jam it; damp grit sticks to the brushes rather than being thrown into the hopper. Every mechanical sweeper shares this limit — most listings simply do not mention it.
They are the only thing that wears out. Before buying any low-cost sweeper, look for its replacement brushes on the same store: a machine whose consumables are not sold is a machine with one set of bristles. It is the same rule as filters on a vacuum.
