Not for Gas Blower Vacs August 18, 2008
I did not read the product description close enough when purchasing this leaf collector system. Or maybe I did, but figured that I could make it work for my gas blower vac. Overall, this product is well constructed. I was able to modify it to fit my gas blower vac, but still had problems with the hose getting clogger. More hassle than it was worth.
 If you have leaves to clean you know you need this August 4, 2008
I bought this the second year of living in my house. The first year I struggled with leaf clean up from the 3 mature maple trees that surround my house. After buying this "collector" the process was greatly simplified. Attaching it to the bin is really easy and it does not get clogged.
The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 is that the "universal adapter" did not seem all that universal. My Toro leafblower was not too happy to attach to it, but it is manageable and still worth it.
 Good idea, but no workee June 23, 2008
This is a great idea, but....
The bag part won't stay attached to the garbage can no matter how hard i tighten the cord (which probably should be thicker). And when i finally got the bag to stay attached for a little while, then the hose blew out of the middle of the canvas bag that is attached to the garbage can.
So all in all i like the idea but i'm going to return it to Amazon after calling Toro to ask if they have any fixes for the two problems.
Toro Leaf Collector needs work April 6, 2008
This item arrived last fall too late to be used, however I used it today to do a spring clean up of leaves.
Getting everything to stay together was a chore. Either the hose blew out of the collecting basket cloth holder or the holder blew off the collector if not tightened down very tight...and then sometimes it still came off.
So far I would say it is frustrating to use, but I have not given up on it yet.
Worthless for even slightly damp leaves March 5, 2008
Though this product works excellently on dry leaves, it clogs immediately when even slightly damp leaves are sucked up. I ended up going back to the shoulder bag that came with the blower. Didn't really make my life easier.
