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 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.

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 time saver and works really well. Has a little tear/puncture hole after about 3 uses, but doesn’t affect its usability yet.

Amazing product! Leaves slide easily into the fabric bag. Built in fabric handles. Folds for storage.

Great way to pick up yard debris.

It was working okay at collecting leaves and branches on the ground. The fabric seems to hold up again the thorny branches. It was easy to collect bags full of leaves in a couple of hours. However, after the 2nd use, one of the internal poles snapped while trying to fold it back into its bag holder. Very disappointing since you are paying $20 for the manufacturer to ship you undersized bags to save on cargo space.

I have a large backyard with a lot of leaves in the Fall. This product is super helpful in managing very large piles of leaves. It eliminates the constant bending over and getting leaves into bags. It opens up wide and I can rake a ton of leaves into the opened area and then easily use the handles to lift the light weight product up, fold it like a , insert it into a large leaf bag, and dump all the leaves into the bag. I would go as far as to say that using this product more than doubles the speed with which I can get all the leaves bagged. This year was my second season to use the leaf bag. It has not ripped or torn in any place. It doesn’t have any holes poked in it. As far as I can tell, it has no damage to it whatsoever from sticks or rocks or anything else that might get swept into it with the leaves. So it’s incredibly durable. The only thing that I can think of that might be bothersome to some people is getting it closed back into its little circle once you’re done with it. You have to get the hang of how it folds back up, but once you do, it’s a simple twist of the wrist and it’s condensed into a small circle. That can be put back into its holding bag. I absolutely love this product! It has functioned far better than anything else I have tried. If you have a yard with a lot of leaves to rake up, I would highly recommend buying this.

Solid idea, good design, but the materials are shoddy. With dry leaves, you're fine all day. But wet leaves have more weight, and you can't pick up a full load unless you want the handles to tear off. Even a half load of wet leaves, I could hear stitches ripping.I think it'll be worth reinforcing the handles, but I'm gonna keep my eyes open for something a little more durable while this one lasts
