Amazon.com Review
Where was this last fall when we were knee-deep in rakes, plastic bags, and complaining teenagers? What a spiffy contraption this is. The collection system--an 8-foot hose and can cover--fits all Black & Decker blower/vacs. The idea is genius: Attach the adjustable drawstring cover to your garbage can, attach the hose to your blower/vac. Pretend you're in your living room and vacuum the yard. The leaves are sucked directly into your garbage can. No more bending, scooping, lifting, sweating, or cajoling grumpy teens into doing autumn's most bedeviling chore. The system is simple, clean, and a darned good idea. Kudos, Black & Decker. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 A must for yard work November 18, 2009
Ossie C. Krasovskis (Chicago)
This is easy to hook up to a Larger plastic garbage can, with wheels, and you can get a lot done. A must.
 Not impressed, not a time saver for large yards November 16, 2009
J. Fullerton (Springfield, VA)
Situation:
Very large acorn tree in my yard which dumps tons of leaves weekly. I filled twelve 33-gal bags this week, as I did last week, and will have to do again next week.
Pros:
> Reasonable quality for $30.
> Attached hose easily to my Leaf Hog blower/vac.
> Not much dust comes out during use.
Cons:
> Tricky to get to stay on garbage can
> Fills a 35 gal bag in about 5 minutes. I can fill the same bag with a rake as a shovel in about 1 minute!
> Even being mulched, bags are no more filled than when done by hand.
> Cord release is WAY too small for fingers to use. It's about the width of a pencil, recessed, and impossible to operate.
> Slips off garbage can from time to time. Other times you can't get it off.
> A low, wide, and heavy garbage can should be used, as plastic ones tip over a lot.
> Hose should be twice as long for easier use.
So ... it works, but I won't be using it again, and I would not recommend it to a friend.
This would be far better if in included a low-height garbage can, the hose went into and fastened to the lid, and then the lid had a fixed mesh vent on the other side. That way you could just pop off the lid and you'd far more efficient.
 Leaf collection system for Blower/Vacuum LH4500 October 27, 2009
Michael B. Mayor (Hanover, NH)
This hose/filter system fits snugly over the top of a waste container to catch mulched leaves blown from a blower/vacuum. Collection capacity limited only by the size of the container you choose to use. It works best with a trash barrel that has a lip for the tie-down to grip. It handled heavy, wet leaves well.
A trash container on a set of wheels would be handy, especially on smooth ground like pavement or smooth patio. Otherwise it works best to use the blower function to pool the leaves in one spot, and then vacuum them up into the container.
One small problem; the cinch cord sitting below the barrel's lip will trap leaf particles in quantity, which may spill when you go to slip off the filter cover from the barrel.
love it October 3, 2009
Tinker (Gulf Coast)
Great addition to the shed. Makes short work of cleanup in the yard w/o having to empty my smaller blower bag... kinda feels like I'm cheating =)
Big Help w/ Leaf Collection March 27, 2009
WW (TN)
This is the 2nd one of these that I've bought. The 1st was used w/ a gas-powered Weedeater blower/vac. I trimmed tabs on the inlet pipe that connect to the B&D unit and it slid right into the outlet of the Weedeater. All this went to a neighbor and never came back.
I couldn't find another one locally, so thank goodness for Amazon and online sellers. The new one got mated to a 23cc Echo gas-powered blower/vac. The inlet/outlet pipe for this combo are both almost the same size, so they don't join up like they did on the Weedeater, but until I find a better coupler, 2 or 3 wraps of duct tape work great.
If you use a blower/vac for leaf collection and mulching, you need one of these. I've used the sholder slung collection bags that come w/ the blower/vac, but you end up holding a 10 lb blower/vac and then 10 lbs of leaves in the bag (not to mention the limited capacity of the bag and that you're ALWAYS next to the dust that comes out of the bag) and you just get worn out faster. With this system, you can use any garbage can you want and the cover fits all of them. If you have an extra can and a helper, you can swap garbage cans and keep going.
I can't comment on how this system works using an electric blower/vac, but I'm able to collect wet or dry leaves and small debris and haven't had the hose clog yet. If the stuff vac can make it through the impeller, it will make it to the can. The 8' hose is a great length and if you can put the garbage can in the middle of your collection area, you'll find that a 16' circle is pretty big. You can also stay up wind and avoid most of the dust. Once the can is 1/3 to 1/2 full, it becomes very stable and doesn't tip over easily if you go beyond the 8'. But even if you do tip over the can, the drawstring that holds the cover on the can is secure enough that I've never spilled the leaves.
I can't believe B&D or another mfg. hasn't marketed something like this for other brands of blower/vacs (especially gas-powered ones) because it makes a great leaf collection system.
