Toro 51500 Universal Leaf Collector with 8-Foot Hose Review

There are three primary points of failure, and if you are not suspecting, you will quickly find them all.
The hose fits into a canvas sheet that will, in turn, fit over the Toro collapsing bin. The fit is achieved by pulling a drawstring and closing the bin. While in vacuum mode, there is considerable air pressure from the vac into the bag.
The first failure is that the draw is simply not enough to hold the canvas to the bin while the vac is operating. After having it pop off a dozen or so times, I came up with the idea of *clamping* the bag to the bin, using, of all things, automobile jumper cables. This worked, but the loose fit still allowed bits of leaves to be ejected around the lid.
The second point of failure is the hose - it is simply inserted into the canvas, and is held in place only by an elastic band inside the canvas sheet. Anyone who has ever messed with venting a dryer knows this simply will not work - and the air pressure here is much higher (not to mention the additional effect of the flying debris). With the lid finally secured by clamps, the hose kept popping out of place, further spewing leaf debris everywhere. The fix for this is some kind of cable tie, like what you would find on a dryer vent. Having none at hand, I simply used about a half roll of duct tape and put an end to that issue.
The third point of failure is that the hose has a small diameter and can get clogged up fast. During operation, you must make sure the hose is as straight as possible, as any kinks will cause debris to collect inside the hose.
These problems made a very difficult afternoon of it, having to stop and spend an hour or so re-engineering the equipment. I would not recommend it for that reason. Honestly, do people ever test these things before they start selling them?
GRADE: F.

Toro 29210 43-Gallon Gardening Spring Bucket Review

If you are looking for one off these collapsable containers, this is the one to get. Its constructed out of heavy/durable material and quite well built. The thing that makes the Torro unit much better than the Fiskars offering is its much larger size. The smaller Fiskars unit may be better suited for Grandma. The price bounces around so get it when its on sale.

The Toro 43-gallon spring bucket is great for fallen leaves, grass clippings, weeds, plant material and more. It is made from mildew resistant and UV treated mesh-supported plastic canvas, and it has an extra strong sleeved spring for secure upright standing. The four cushioned handles make lifting and emptying the bucket easier and more comfortable. To open or collapse the Spring Bucket you simply attach or detach two quick connectors.

Portable Trash Can, 18" x 23 1/2" Collapsible, Green Review

I bought this for tailgating at football games. This is the PERFECT tailgating item! And it's easier to just toss bottles, cans, plates, whatever, into an open can instead of trying to open a trashbag as it lays on the ground. When open it holds a 30 gallon trash bag, but collapses flat for easy portability....especially since the SUV is full of chairs, a tent, a grill, and coolers.
