Unit arrived and was exactly as described. Works well on my 42 gallon trash barrel with the exception of #2 below. 2 minor issues that keep me from giving it 5 stars: 1. The coupler to when connected to my Worx blower is so tight that it is difficult to remove after use (blower is 3 years old and the original bag goes on and off without difficulty). 2 .My trash barrel is rectangular and the shredded leaves accumulate between the mesh and the outside of the barrel causing shreddings to fall on the ground when removing the unit (messy!).
I replaced a worn bag with this and it works great.No more heavy weight on my shoulder and mulches straight into the can and then to the compost pile. The oly extra thing I did was use a bungee around the bag to seal it better.
Excellent Accessory for the Trivac Leaf Blower/Vac

I have a Worx Trivac, and when I saw this, I had to have it. Arrived today and I collected some early leaves on the patio. I attached the bonnet to a standard 39-gal. plastic trash can with a leaf bag inside. I just blew the leaves into a pile, attached the hose to the fitting on the Trivac, and vacuumed leaves directly into the can. Pulling the bonnet down over the handles on the can helps it to stay attached when the hose is stretched. If your leaves are dry and there is little wind, you might want to wear a dust mask. Dust kind of boils up through the bonnet. If you have a breeze, staying upwind of the can is another option. I had to move the can periodically, but I much prefer that to lugging the small portable bag around by the shoulder strap.
Great unit. The only issue I have is it does not like to stay attached to the can. It appears the weight of the hose leans to one side making the oppposite side want to ride up and off of the run of the can. To avoid this I keep the can close and take some of the weight of the hose.
I made something like this for my old blower and had to reattach it more then I wanted. I was excited to see this product made and I sure it will be everything I expected
It's fall and I couldn't have received this system at a better time. It makes doing the leaves almost fun. No more picking up leaves! Yea! Thank You work!!
Generally works fine, cord cinching it to container is a bit stretchy so it can slide off can, even if can has a lip. Still beats carrying full bag plus machine around.
