I purchased this a month ago and have done my own leaves as well as my neighbors. The only issue is it does have a lot of dust which escapes from the cloth cover. If that was corrected with a plastic liner it would be five stars.
In the past I have vacuumed up leaves and emptied the little bag on the blower. I cleaned my front and side yards and had to change the garbage can once. I am impressed with the simplicity. I should have thought of this.
I bought this for our fall leaf cleanup...works great. And sure saves the back. Last year we filled 125 large black bags. With this we only had about 30 total. Mulches great!!!! Would recommend it.
This never stayed on any bin I tried it with. I even bought one especially for it and modified it in various ways and the cloth collar still came off constantly. Very disappointing.
I've been using this for several rounds of leaf sucking now and it does what it says it does. It's a little unwieldy and it does create a dusty mess, but with a little patience, it will take your mulched leaves and deposit them mostly in the can of your choice. I got a 32 gallon square top wheeled garbage can to use fits great on top with no fiddling with the string. Stay on the side with the wheels and the hose will point into the can instead of over the side reducing the mess. It isn't perfect and the first few times I had to adjust something, but I'll keep using it because it's useful, and it does what I wanted it to do.
