WORX Leaf Collection System for WORX Leaf Blower & Leaf Vacuum with a 5” Inches Tube, WA4054.2

I am using a Husqvarna 128BV blower/vac. Love this machine; it is a beast. Video attached is an attempt to show use in real time. Managing the hose isn't too bad. I have a 96 gal wheeled garbage can I used for collection. The cloth end over the top of the garbage can just fit with some creativity that, after using it for three full tanks of fuel, worked flawlessly. See pictures. The sleeve would not fit over the lid hinges, hence, the creativity with the clamps. Once the clamps were on, the can lid remaining open acted as an anchor to hold the clamps. It never came lose and I was rolling the can around, pulling on the hose from time to time, and shaking the hose from time to time to dislodge leaves. The connection end to the blower/vac never came lose. There are two adapters that come with this product and with the H128BV I used, I did not need either. The stock end of the hose simply slipped over the blower end (see picture) and I locked it down. NOTE..... this product is NOT compatible with the Worx 40V 3 in 1 blower/vac/mulcher. I did not do sufficient research and purchased both only to learn this lesson. I assumed, and we know that that does and it certainly did in this case, with both products being from Worx, they were compatible. Shame on me and lesson learned. For my purposes, vacuuming leaves from a rock-lined sidewalk/driveway, this product saved me a ton of time and energy by not having to empty the shoulder bag every five minutes that comes with the Husqvarna. I did not try this on any other collection can/container. I wish I would have purchased this years ago. Time saver. Easy to use. Worked better than I had expected.

Works great. I’m using it on a 25 year old plug in leaf blower/shredder/vacuum. I had enormous piles of mulch from removing several trees and made moving the mulch a lot easier than shoveling all day. Very good very adaptable attachment.

Great addition to the WORX leaf blower. I would rather not use the bagger with the blower. This fits over the top of a circular trashcan and eliminates the need to bag the vacuumed leaves or empty the bag frequently. Great optional feature which isn't optional for me!

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.

The hose is too short. It claims to be 8 feet long while also claiming to extend to 16 feet...both claims are false. If you walk more than 4 feet away from the barrel, it falls over. The barrel must have fallen over on me at least 20 times before it was finally filled enough with leaves to remain partially steady. It functions well enough but it definitely needs a longer hose in order to avoid moving the barrel every 5 to10 seconds. Also, the universal collar attachment that connects the hose to the leaf vacuum can kink and cause the leaves to clog the impeller. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the purchase price was under $40. If it cost $10 more, I would have given it 2 stars.

Our yard is mostly wooded and mostly oak trees, which means fall is a busy time around our house. This collection system has really impressed us. Yes, you need to find the right trash can to use, but after that it works like a charm. We've been using it 3-4 times a week, 2-3 hours each time and it has been working great, no clogs. Leaves go right into the bag, close it up. done. Snap!

PROS: The mechanical portion of the leaf collection is second to none. It will pulverize leaves to a dust and in so doing it means you don't need dozens of leaf bags. Congratulations to the designers for making a leave collector that will destroy small sticks, and even Cyprus seed pods. CONS: 1.) the attachments are complicated to use - they make sense and work together, it is just a complicated system; 2.) the hose is fragile. I took care to not let it kink, bend, or otherwise encounter stress as I was using it and after about 6 hours of use, the 8 - 10 inches of hose nearest the leave blower began to collapse on itself. Three trips to the hardware store later, I was able to create a replacement. 3.) using the leave collection arrangement that connects to a wheely bin has its frustrations. You will need a weight in the bottom of it until it is about half full, or constantly work to position it so that the weight from the hose does not tip the bin over. 4.) it makes an extraordinary amount of dust. I was a dirty as the bin in the photos. 5.) the actual leave blower/collector is heavy and either needs an addition handle more toward the end of it or a handle that allows you to hold it comfortably and functionally in more than one position. It is heavy enough that this fit outdoorsy middle aged adult required two hands to use it for a longer period of time. Suggestion - a larger diameter for collection and a smaller one for blowing would make it more efficient overall. I am not convinced there is any advantage to this set of devices over a good rake in terms of time and effort. It is just a different kind of effort. If leaf disposal is an issue for you, you may find the reduction in volume that the leaf collection provides makes it worth your while. The leaf blowing capacity for the machine is not great - opening is too large and power not sufficient to accomplish as much as a good single purpose leaf blower. Pretty sure I would not buy it again.

Last year I had to pay someone $350 to collect the leaves in my yard. This was in December when they were eager ly work, and after heavy negotiating. This year I wanted to find a more sustainable solution. I decided to use a blower/vac in combination with the LeafPro by Worx. Question was, which blower/vac and can I actually get this system to work? After a lot of research and video watching, it became clear the Toro UltraPlus was the best option. The CFM and MPH balance was best of available blower/vacs. I was very concerned there would be enough suction to collect all the leaves easily, but that needed to be balanced with the blowing aspect. The trivacs have higher CFM but the MPH are low. So would it blow well enough at a distance? The Sunjoe had slightly better CFM than the Toro but much worse MPH. The Toro impeller design looked way better than the Sunjoe too at grinding. I was thinking about the Worx Turbine Fusion but people said the impeller grinded too much and the dust was terrible. The other issue was connecting this thing to the LeafPro. I read the "universal adapter" could slip off and I should try to get the older version which had plastic connections specifically for other brand models (which turned out to be totally unavailable). Maybe it was just better to get a Worx blower instead? In the end, the reviews of the Toro were all so strong I decided to go for it and risk the LeafPro not working with it. Thankfully, the connection worked perfectly and was really tight with no real risk of coming off! The next issue was what to use on the other end to collect the leaf mulch. Most people were connecting the LeafPro to a garbage can. I didn't have one right sized for use with 55 gallon trash bags and didn't want to buy one unnecessarily. I saw someone had used this system with a Leafmate paper bag funnel and it worked for them, so I decided to try with the Leafmate designed for varying sized plastic trash bags. It also worked brilliantly! I was able to keep it on its side at first to collect the mulch and then after it was nearly full I turned it upright to collect the rest. The Leafmate just slides up the bag to hold the opening and connection to the LeafPro. This system was able to reduce a 20-30 bag job to less than 5, and what took 3 people half a day of tiring work took me 1.5hrs of blowing and 2 hours of vacuuming and I was not tired at all. These three items cost me $140... a total win! Tips: -Dont try to suck up too much, the vac will clog -The Toro can handle sticks and other non-leaf debris you may encounter (see photo), but it's better to remove them from the pile by hand as they can create clogs -When you do get a clog, try turning off the vac and just tap the tube against the ground the dislodge whatever is in there. Turn it back on and half the time it'll be able to suck whatever was in there out -Point the exit hose of the LeafPro away from you and downwind. A moderate amount of dust comes out of the mesh cover. -The weak point in the system if the LeafPro mesh cover. It will stay on the Leafmate pretty well because it has a good rim it can wrap itself around, but mulch will collect in the mesh around the rim and it can get pulled off. Collect your leaves close enough to the bag and you won't pull it off by mistake (happened to me on the last bag, luckily it's easy to just revacuum up the debris).
