Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Doesn't do the job Comment: Living in Portland OR where we have many leaves that are very wet this just doesn't work. Customer Rating: Summary: Not so good Comment: I was looking forward to using this new equipment. I purchased the base unit with the leaf collector and leaf container. I blew the leaves in to pile and began vacuuming. The vacuuming process is slow and tiring. The leaf collector cover kept blowing off. I secured the cover with a bungee cord. The bungee cord just caused the cover to build-up pressure and blow off even higher. I drilled a bunch of 5/8' holes in an old plastic garbage can and put the leaf cover on that. The vacuuming process worked much better than the standard issue Toro leaf bag. You then have to dump the leaves in to a leaf bag. The blower/vacuum does generate enough suction to progress very quickly. I had the most success with getting on my hands and knees and hand feeding the leaves in the hose. Hand feeding the leaves is quicker but does cause jams if the leaves are slightly damp. It is verily easy to clear out the jams. The blower vac does a nice job of chopping the leaves to reduce mass. However, as the daylight was running out, I reverted to the tried and true rake and leaf bag to finish the job in a timely manner. If your yard is bigger than 10'x 10' I would suggest blowing the leaves in a pile and hand stuffing in a bag supported within a garbage can. Toro should consider designing a leaf container and leaf bags with holes in them to allow higher vacuum pressure. A stronger vacuum motor and wider throat would also be helpful. The product under performs for the average yard. for the average yard.I found this Toro leaf collector to be "not so good". Customer Rating: Summary: Needs work or better information Comment: If you try to use this with an ordinary garbage can, it will either blow off of the top of the can or, if you get it tight enough on the can it will blow the hose out of the collection shroud. It might do fine with the Toro collection container, but it's more trouble than it's worth with an ordinary garbage can. Being stubborn, I'll probably drill some fine holes in the can and try again, but so far no go. Customer Rating: Summary: I wish I knew how to return it! Comment: This Leaf Collector did not work at all. It kept falling apart and would not stay hooked up to the Toro Blower. Even if you taped it together it picked up very few leaves. I took back the Toro Blower and wish I knew how to return the Collector. Customer Rating: Summary: Good concept - poor design Comment: This is a good product however, unless you have a rectangle trash bin to attach the bag to it is very difficult to keep attached. Don't see how it would work with the Toro round leaf container you can buy. Also, the latch on the hose that attaches to the blower is very week and dont know how long it will last...Toro needs a better design for the latch especially since it is listed as a universal hose/bag for all electric blower/vacs
