Doesn't do the job
Living in Portland OR where we have many leaves that are very wet this just doesn't work.
Not so good
I was looking forward to using this new equipment. I purchased the base unit with the leaf collector and leaf container. I blew the leaves in to pile and began vacuuming. The vacuuming process is slow and tiring. The leaf collector cover kept blowing off. I secured the cover with a bungee cord. The bungee cord just caused the cover to build-up pressure and blow off even higher. I drilled a bunch of 5/8' holes in an old plastic garbage can and put the leaf cover on that. The vacuuming process worked much... more info
Needs work or better information
If you try to use this with an ordinary garbage can, it will either blow off of the top of the can or, if you get it tight enough on the can it will blow the hose out of the collection shroud. It might do fine with the Toro collection container, but it's more trouble than it's worth with an ordinary garbage can. Being stubborn, I'll probably drill some fine holes in the can and try again, but so far no go.
I wish I knew how to return it!
This Leaf Collector did not work at all. It kept falling apart and would not stay hooked up to the Toro Blower. Even if you taped it together it picked up very few leaves. I took back the Toro Blower and wish I knew how to return the Collector.
