 Rating:  - Good idea, but no workeeThis is a great idea, but.... The bag part won't stay attached to the garbage can no matter how hard i tighten the cord (which probably should be thicker). And when i finally got the bag to stay attached for a little while, then the hose blew out of the middle of the canvas bag that is attached to the garbage can. So all in all i like the idea but i'm going to return it to Amazon after calling Toro to ask if they have any fixes for the two problems. Rating: - Toro Leaf Collector needs workThis item arrived last fall too late to be used, however I used it today to do a spring clean up of leaves. Getting everything to stay together was a chore. Either the hose blew out of the collecting basket cloth holder or the holder blew off the collector if not tightened down very tight...and then sometimes it still came off. So far I would say it is frustrating to use, but I have not given up on it yet. Rating: - Worthless for even slightly damp leavesThough this product works excellently on dry leaves, it clogs immediately when even slightly damp leaves are sucked up. I ended up going back to the shoulder bag that came with the blower. Didn't really make my life easier. Rating: - Nothing "universal" about it.I bought this item thinking that it was a good idea and it is in theory. The biggest problem is that the "universal" attachment is just a velcro strap to tighten the connection but it doesn't actually work against the blowing force of the vacuum. So, I found that I had to constantly hold the harness provided and it was much more uncomfortable than holding the unit by the handle. I have a Black and Decker Blower/Vac so I think I will return this one and try the one specific to my Brand. Rating:  - Not well engineered-some intrinsic problemsMy experience with this product is as follows: 1. The snap on hose connector kept coming off. 2.The bag tie that secured the bag to the pail didn't seem to be strong enough. The bag eventually slipped off the pail when under pressure even after adjusting it many times. 3. Using this product the blower/vac is connected to a large pail via a relatively short hose, therefore the there is some jostling of the pail. I don't think the product manufacturer took this into account. In ... Read More |
