not universal:
Maybe this works with a Toro blower and the Toro spring bucket, but with my Craftsman blower and normal plastic (and/or metal) garbage can it fails totally. I spent about an hour today trying to keep all the various parts together and ended up covered in leaf dust, with almost nothing in the garbage can. I really wanted this to work because I hate to empty the leaf bag - so much dust! I could not get the bag to stay on a garbage can, except for briefly once, and then the bag came off of the hose.

Not for Gas Blower Vacs:
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.

If you have leaves to clean you know you need this:
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:
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.
