Whether it is cleaning out a closet or clearing out the magnolia leaves, this is a super helper. Open it up, pop in a trash bag and you are good to go!
For some reason I thought the leaf bin was going to be taller but when I received it, it only came up to my knees.
But, I'm actually glad it's NOT what I originally thought.
First of all, I most often use it along with the Worx leaf blower/vac/mulcher, which is a genius product, and had it been as tall as I had originally thought, it would be too heavy when filled with mulched leaves. Now though, I can dump from the mulcher bag into the leaf bin a few times and then take the bin to my composter.
The amount of time that saves is considerable.
At the same time though, I found out that the height is perfect for when I am on my knees weeding in the garden or flower beds. Had it been taller, I would have to continually reach up to toss the weeds into it which would not have been fun. Been there, done that, sprained my back doing it once when trying to use a garbage bin my wife hadn't notice that I had taken from the kitchen, which is about 3 1/2 feet tall.
I learned my lesson in more ways then one! I don't know which was worse, spraining my back or my wife laughing when I brought the kitchen garbage bin back in walking kinda-sorta sideways. Not one of my more stellar moments.
Seriously though, not that what preceded wasn't, I really like how it flattens and more so, the pin-through-a-loop fasteners which keep it flat. It's very functional yet elegant in its simplicity.
I've gotten so I can close and open them one handed due to how well the loops are sized as compared to the pins that go through them whereas it is all ways a two-handed operation when trying to open an older styled winter coat I sometimes wear.
I originally bought it to go along with the blower/vac/mulcher and thought that would be its sole use but after using it, I'd buy it again even if I didn't have the mulcher.
Truth be told, I'll likely get a second one at some point before next fall which will save me even more time shuttling mulch to the composter and even when filled with mulched leaves, one in each hand will be easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have now had the collapsible leaf bin for a couple of weeks and find it is the handiest item In our shed. We live in the country with lots of squirrels. They cut the new leaves off of the Oak trees on a daily bases. This item is the very thing I need to put all the cutting up. It is very easy to drag around. I'm a 74 year old Women & this is easy to handle, also folds up easy to put away. I love it & hope it never wears out. It's made of good strong material so it will last a long time. Can use it for anything in the yard cleanup.
