I have two very large live oak trees in my front yard that produce a prodigious amount of leaves. Using the Tri-Vac bag to pick them up was helpful, but time consuming. My wife bought the collection system for me for Christmas. This spring when it was time to rake and bag leaves, I was able to turn a day long project into a 90 minute project because I didn't have to stop and dump the Tri-Vac bag every 2-3 minutes. Love the LeafPro!
I bought these about a month ago and really happy with them both . i am a short person and thought that i would have trouble using them , love them ! fits me and love how they work. I enjoy working with them .
This is one of those products you wish you could have purchased years ago. I've used this several times with a 30 year old Craftsman blower on both regular trash can and paper yard waste bags on my Aerocart bag holder. Saves your back and time by not having to carry a collection bag on your shoulder or stopping to empty it every several minutes. Set yourself upwind of the can and you don't get covered in any dust created (like with bag hanging over your shoulder). Drawstring is a bit difficult to get real tight onto the container your using. A mechanism to cinch the drawstring tight similar to the one on the universal adapter would be a nice addition. Getting someone else to do it for you is the only thing that would make collecting your leaves any easier than using this.
I have used this tool for many hours on 3 different days. I like what it does but not the way it does it. I have trouble getting the cover to stay on the garbage can. Also the cover hangs over the can so that when I take the cover off it spills leaves all over. Third it is hard to get the Trivac separated from the LeafPro. I guess in time it will not fit as tight as it does now. I am not sorry that I bought it. It does save me time in the long run.
I purchased this item to help with yard work especially picking up leaves because i have medical issues so cant bend over alot. I put it on two different barrels and the cover flew off even after tightening it up again and again, the hose on the connector to the blower/vacuum flew off as so as i turned the machine on had to reattach it with new wire tie. I will try it again but as of right now it is not what it appears to be. Not happy with it.
Got this about a month ago, it is so much nicer than having to constantly empty a bag! The Toro adapter fits great. The only complaint I have is that the drawstring doesn't hold to the can as well as I would like. I wish it had a velcro strap or something. Over all, I am very pleased.
