Bought this a couple of weeks ago and it works great. However I didn't see the one with the various adaptors since we use a Toro so the universal attachment does slip some. Can't buy the adaptors separate or it would get a 5 star rating.
I bought the LeafPro along with a TriVac direct from Worx. The LeafPro system works pretty well with a couple of caveats. First of all, the system is very well made and should hold up many years. The hose is very high quality and therefore a bit heavy. This created a problem with the collapsible leaf container (not from Worx) that I have. The hose was so heavy that the container couldn't stay upright with the system attached. I hung the hose over my shoulder and that helped, but I'm going to use a hard-sided container next time. The system functions quite well and is easily attached and removed both from the TriVac and the leaf container. Since the TriVac mulches so well, you can vacuum up a lot of leaves before having to empty the container. I think this system is made for high volumes of leaves raked into piles. It's not very "portable" in this configuration, so you want to have the leaves raked into piles to minimize moving around with everything attached. Still quite pleased with the system and will certainly make the job easier.
Trash can gets pulled over by the hose weight. It blows leaf dust all over the place and the string that tightens around the trash can lid broke the first time I used it.
Purchased this in the hope that it would help me with the volume of leaves in my yard. Have had problems keeping the collection system attached to a barrel. Maybe you have some suggestions??
As much as I want this to work it is just a waisted time to even set it up. The barrel top is under too much strain to stay atop the proper barrel. I have not found a way to secure it properly to suit my taste. I have even thought of using a precast top that is used to collect wood dust to make it worthwhile.
I love this system. Put it on a trash can on wheels and you are set. Hose needs to be a tad longer, but all in all this is much better than carrying the weight of the bag than comes with the leaf/vac. Now they adapted it for other manufacturers but they don't compare to the Worx Tri Vac.
I bought this Leaf collection system because I have the national debt in leaves in my back yard.. Usually 80 bags. This gizmo reduced it to 10 which is phenomenal! It really works well. Now I'm not so dreading next fall!
