UQM Leaf Collector, Portable Pop Up Leaf Bags, Foldable Leaf Pick Up Tools Patent Number D1005635, Reusable Yard Garden Bags for Leaves Lawn Trash

I find that it is pretty easy to rake up a pile of leaves, most of the effort is bagging them. This thing does make that part of the job quite a bit easier. You can shove a pile of leaves into it with the rake and then just dump them into a bag in one motion (though you will need someone to hold the bag).It is pretty flimsy material, but I've used it for about 30 bags of leaves so far and it has held up. It folds up into a compact form and fits into its storage bag, no problem.

I really like how it stays open, and actually it holds a lot of leaves. I like the handles and it is easy to pick it up and carry the leaves out to the street. Very convenient and I have to move a lot of leaves in the fall! Anything which makes the job easier is appreciated. I still use a tarp for the hug piles of leaves, as they hold more and the material will hold up to being dragged across cement. I probably wouldn't want to drag this leaf holder in the same way- I think the material would probably wear out rapidly. However, dragging along the grass seems fine.

This portable pop up leaf container is well-made, large, sturdy & easy to use. The leaves slid easily from it into the bin without it collapsing.However, unless you are a strong person, with no arthritis, it may be difficult to twist into a circle small enough to fit into the storage bag, as shown in the directions.I was able to do the first twist for replacing it into the storage bag, which made it into a large 1 dimension 30" circle. Then hung it on the wall in the garage. It lays flat against the wall.I recommend it for the purpose it is intended. However, if you are not very large/strong, have arthritis, and a stickler about replacing it in the storage bag, consider the twists that are required.For me, the useful benefit & alternative storage outweighed replacing it in the storage bag.

So easy to use and it works great!

I bought this Leaf Collector for my husband, but it turns out I'm the one that loves using it the most. Our home is on .8 acres in a lightly forested area that gets a constant downpour of pine needles which we must rake up regularly to minimize fire danger. I had previously been raking the needles into piles and then using a large dustpan and the rake to lift the piles into the green can. I estimate this handy leaf collector has cut the time for the raking chore to close to half of what it was. I like it because it's easy to pop open and sweep the piles into it with the rake. It's lightweight, so I usually start out holding the front of it down with my foot until the first load goes in. I can then easily pick it up by the handles, shake the needles down to the bottom of the catcher, and move on to the next area. It's easy to pick it up when full and hold it over the trash can and dump the needles in. The catcher bends easily so that it acts like a funnel and dumps the needles tidily into the can.It takes a little practice to fold it up into its compact size when done, but it fits nicely into the zippered bag it comes with, and hangs compactly in our tool area. Some people complain that it is too thin and may not last long. It is about as thick as a nylon tent, which seems fine to me. I am careful not to drag it when it's full, as it may tear if you snag it on a sharp stick. Others complain that the metal shapers broke after a few uses. The device has two fabric handles built into it, and if you use those rather than picking it up by the thin metal shapers, I expect it will hold up. Even if I have to replace mine in a year (and I am hopeful I won't), it's a lot cheaper than paying someone to do the chore, and it saves a lot of wear and tear from the constant bending this 63 year old lady would be doing with just a rake and a regular dust pan. I highly recommend it and would purchase it again.

Great concept, worked great. But it ripped after the first use.

I wish I would have found this sooner. This has been a life saver on time and it’s so easy to use. I LOVE IT. It holds a lot more than you think! Definitely buy this product!

This is the best purchase I ever made. that's right. periodI seem to have more leaves than in all the 30 years I've lived here. I'm at the bottom of a cul-de-sac and I get some from the neighbors--yay.I hold the leaf bag open with my feet, scrape the leaves in with a dust pan. That kinda works. unless it's windy.After the experience I dropped everything where it was, came in the house. I have no idea how this product came to my radar but it's on my thank you Jesus list!It's light. I don't have to bend over. I rake the leaves in until it's full. If I rake the first of it past the lip it stays in place, lift it with the handles and it fills my 33 gal. bag up to the top. Time, strain -- poof! 100% improved. I read a review that said it tore after 1 or 2 uses. I did 11 bags on Monday, 6 bags on Thursday and 4.5 today. Pity me. That was just the front yard. In no time I'm back on the sofa with my book and knitting (I'm 71 and have to have somebody open marinara jars so it matters LOL). Have no trouble lifting the load to the bag AND my back is saved.
