WORX LeafPro Collection System for WORX Blower/Vac with Up to a 5” Inches Tube - WA4058

Works excellent and getting ready this fall. Helped me deals with yard waste and save time .

The media could not be loaded. 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.

After having trouble using the mesh cover attachment on my large rectangular barrel, I went out and bought a 32 gallon round trash barrel. It worked great! The smaller barrel was easy for me to drag around behind me and was big enough to hold a substantial amount of mulched leaves. The smaller size also made it possible for me to empty the barrel into the paper leaf bags by myself (using a leaf chute). I’m very happy I found a solution that works for me. This makes vacuuming up leaves quicker and easier than using the collection bag as it deletes the need to constantly stop to empty the bag. Cover to go on barrel is large but didn’t secure well to my large rectangular bin on wheels. Cover kept coming off. Perhaps if my bin didn’t have a handle it would have worked better. My Worx mulcher works great but I would recommend wearing a mask and safety glasses as the fine particles do escape the cover and you are breathing them in or getting them on you. Lastly. I would like a longer hose. I am only 5’2” and still would have liked a longer reach with the hose. All in all I was impressed but need to try this in a different style barrel.

BLUFI 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.UnboxingWhen 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 AttachmentFirst 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.UsingI 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 PartWhen 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.

I was so hopeful this was going to be the best possible way to round up all my leafs. Turns out it’s very dusty and cumbersome. The collector (trash can or leaf barrel) falls over and you start dragging it while picking up leafs. After 1 day of using it, I gave up and purchased the stihal blower attachment which utilizes a shoulder strap. While the shoulder strap works great, after doing more research, I believe (from research) the black&decker backpack design appears to be more user friendly and lots of positive reviews. I also wish my blower attachment end piece has wheels on the end like the Ryobi blower has. It had to keep the suction off the ground. More research needed but bottom line, it beats picking up leaves by hand. Would I buy again or recommend this product to someone else. Probably not. The price is very reasonable, but the operation is not practical.
