WORX WA4054.2 LeafPro Universal Leaf Collection System for All Major Blower/Vac Brands, Orange and Black, 12" x 11" x 12"

Instead of filling your garden vac bag with leafs, use this and the leafs are mulched and go straight into your wheelie bin. No more stopping to empty bag after bag. Takes me 20mins to do my entire garden now. Works with most Garden vacs as the adapter is designed to secure tightly over the vac sucker.

After only one minute of trying to pick up dry leaves the pipe was blocked. This occurred because the exit from the main Worx unit has a bend / scoop exit and blows the leaves directly into the side of the pipe restricting the exit and forming a restriction and cannot blow the leaves down the pipe. However it should be fine with any other vacuum manufacturers that discharge directly out of the machine. I am attempting to find a suitable 3 inch bend that will allow free discharge into the flexible pipe. If unsuccessful however both the Worx blower / vacuum will be returned unfortunately.

völlig sinnloses Produkt, passt weder auf einen Bosch Laubbläser noch auf den originalen Worx-Akku-Laubbläser

I'm always looking for leaf collection solutions. I love the fall but hate the chore. I have two very large and mature silver maples that drop through Thanksgiving. I have gone through a number of solutions. I've been using the worx blower/vac for a few seasons and it's okay, but the biggest annoyance is the small bag it comes with. Que this upgrade....the "collection system." I just used it for the first time and overall, I feel it's a solid buy. Here are my personal take aways: Pros: -The system will stretch pretty snugly over a 94 gallon trash bin like others have noted. -The system connects well with an existing worx blower/vac. It comes with an universal connection, but it looks like reviews are mixed with that. -The worx blower/vac doesn't loose suction like it does with the small bag. -once the system is working, picking up leaves is MUCH faster Cons: -fitting the system to the trash can is annoying and somewhat difficult. I wish the bag top was more elastic like a tight fitted sheet. -sucking into a 94 gallon bin is great, but also cumbersome to move around with you (the can needs to move with you every few feet). -I have doubts that the hose is going to stay attached to the bag more than a few seasons. It definitely seems like a weak point. Overall, the system works well if the leaves are in piles or close together. I blow them in a rough pile with the riding mower and then suck up. You can fit a lot of mulched leaves in a 94 gallon. If you aim to use a smaller size, my guess is that the system may be easier to use. Even with dragging the bin around with me, it drastically cut down on time and effort during my first or many leaf pick-ups.

Great

great product. fits a 95 gal blue bin with the lid open. Quick disconnect is great for emptying the bin.

BLUF I have picked up a lot of leafs with this guy now and am very impressed. The cloth lid with draw string stays on the can. The plastic hose does not stretch much but if you get a can with wheels you can pull it behind you. I don't feel like a save a lot of time but It is less physical work. This product does exactly what it says it does. I have a relatively small piece of property that is blessed with nine oak trees. I love the trees in the summer when the Texas heat is in the hundreds but hate them in the fall when I have to bag leafs, bag after bag after bag. I fill from fifty to 100 thirty-gallon bags of leafs a year. the raking doesn't bother me so much but the constant bending over, picking up an arm load of leafs, putting them in the bag and then repeating until seventy or eighty bags are filled up kills my back and hamstrings. I was laying in bed the other night thinking about how to create an attachment for my WORX WG508 leaf blower/vacuum and came up with the idea of building a frame with a screen to sit on top of a trashcan. then I had to figure out how to attach a hose to the vacuum and then to the screen. The next day my wife handed me her phone and said, "Hey, you think this would work?" That was the first time I had seen the WORX LeafPro. I ordered it that day and got it the next day. Unboxing When it arrived it was in a sealed factory box. I heehawed around about lots of football being on and I didn't really want to go get the stuff out to test it for about thirty minutes and then the curiosity got to me and decided I would just open the box and see what it looked like. Well, to my surprise it did not match the picture on Amazon. The one I ordered showed five adapters in the picture. The one I got had only one "universal adapter". I will talk briefly about that adapter in a bit. Because I have a WORX leaf blower/vacuum I wasn't really concerned about the adapters because I didn't require one. Oh, there were some directions in the box too but, well, I am a man and they were never opened. Connecting the Attachment First thing I had to do was get the cloth part of the attachment around the trashcan. The only trashcan I had was the large trashcan we sit outside to put our household trash in. Today just happened to be trash day so luckily me it was empty. I found that resting the hose attached to the bag, it's really not a bag but more of a lid for your trashcan, anyway, putting the hose over my shoulder to support the wight of the hose while attaching the bag to the trashcan made things a little easier. I then started to stretch the bag around the top of the trashcan.while doing this I discovered why others said you need a trashcan with a rim on it. The rim would have made that easier but I got the bag on in a couple of minutes and used the draw string in the bag to tighten it around the top of the can. My thought at this time was, as soon as I turn the vacuum on this bag is going for fly off the can and mulched leafs are going to fly everywhere. Next I pulled the blower attachment off the leaf blower and attached the vacuum attachment. This is a simple process but takes a little strength to get the blower attachment off. However, that it for the blower review. Once those were in place I just attached the hose from the LeafPro to the vacuum. Push on and twist to lock, easy as that. Using I had a couple piles of leafs already raked up so all I had to do is move the trashcan and vacuum to the pile and get started. I pushed the switch to high and off I went sucking up that pile of leafs that had been sitting there for three days and I had refused to bag by hand. I was really hoping a huge gust of wind would come along and blow them away. At any rate, as I turned the vacuum on, I looked over at the can to watch the bag fill with air, expecting it to blow off the can at any point. Well it did puff up but it did not blow off. In about the same amount of time it would have taken me to bag the leafs by hand I was able to vacuum them. So it didn't really save me a lot of time but it did save my back and hamstrings. The Dirty Part When you use this thing make sure you are not down wind. Also, everything down wind will be covered in dirt. The reason you can't just blow the mulch into a trash bag is the bag would fill with air and pop. This is the same reason the bag on this attachment allows air to escape from the trashcan. If it didn't then the can would fill up with air and the bag would just blow off. Because the bag allows the air to escape it also allows a lot of dirt to escape. This dirt is fine and will cover everything down wind of where you are working. Overall I would say the LeafPro was worth every penny. I would have given it five stars if the picture matched the product. I guess that part is really for the seller review. From reading other reviews of this product I have figured out there are two versions of this item. Most of the negative reviews are due to the "universal adapter" not working on other leaf blowers.Specifically people having problems getting the "universal adapter" either staying on the vacuum or getting it off. Well, I did play with the attachment and getting it off shouldn't be hard. To put it on just wrap it around the outlet of your vacuum and lift up on the little silver tab multiple times until the adapter is tight. To get it off you simply press one of the little levers on either side of the silver tab and pull the strap so the adapter loosens. So back to the two versions, if you have a WORX blower then get the one with only one attachment because you don't need an attachment. If you don't have a WORX leaf blower you may opt for the other since it has more attachments that are made for other specific brands of blower/vacuums. Update - I purchased a $15 Rubermaid Roughneck 32 Gallon trash can from HD along with some large, cheap trash bags. Once I put the trash bag in I use a bungee cord around the can to hold the bag in place before I put the vacuum on. Once the bag is full the vacuum will start making a strange noise and stop picking up leafs. Just pull the vacuum top off the can, roll the can to where you want to dump the bag, tie the bag off and dump it out on the ground. Don't try to pull the bag out because between the wight and the suction it will not come out. Just dump it.
