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 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.

only had it a few days so can not attest to how well it will hold up over time, but it does the job. it's lightweight making it easy to carry, holds a large amount of leaves, and can be managed by one person, making the dreaded leaf chore a breeze. UPDATE: works great and makes the job of leaf clean up SO much easier!

Great product if you have a lot of leaves in your yard. Kind of awkward, but it does its job.

Your back will thank you for this product. One of the best garden tools EVER. The straps could reinforced better, but we LOVE it. Super lightweight, compact when folded down, and does the job in a superior manner. Easy to hose down and dry off.

you will love this! it is big easy to open full and easy to make small. comes with nice storage pouch. three grab handles two if you wish to fold in half to carry or one if you fill up and want to drag. it is big you can pull a lot into it

Love this!! Makes leaf pick up SO much easier!! I do feel I need to say it's not overly durable, but it's worth repurchaseing, even if it only lasts one season.

This bag has saved me so much time in picking up leaves. It’s portable and fits in a corner of my garage when I’m done. The handle is very stable and the material does not break.

I have a severe back injury at the base of my spine that’s affecting my balance and is very painful as well as thoracic issues. When I saw this I was anxious to try it. I live under pine trees that are dropping tiny pinecones everywhere. I LOVE THIS THING!!! It works like a giant scoop. My trick, being a semi-crip is fill this up. Then, I grab the open end like a taco and roll it up a bit to make it look like a pipe/tube. I then put it into the open bag as far as it’ll go, assuring the bag covers all sides. After that, I just shake the giant green taco dumping it into the lawn and leaf bag. Viola! I can now do my little yard by myself without the use of a heavy shovel. And, I’ll now be able to “mow” with another perfect for me purchase which is my weed eater on wheels also an Amazon purchase with a happy review by me. I sincerely and wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone with back issues especially.

Used once and the wire busted out of the bottom

This is not a gimmick. It works really well. I would recommend this for raking up your leaves and then you could fold it with the leaves in it and pour it right in a garbage bag.

I love this thing it really speeds up racking up the endless Willow leaves. Works like a charm . Just fold it like a burrito straight into the leaf bag…

Enfin un article qui fait en sorte que l’on ait plus à se pencher 100 fois ! C’est tellement plus rapide maintenant de ramasser les feuilles. Mon seul regret est de ne pas l’avoir trouvé avant. C’est facile de le vider dans les sacs de papier. Le truc, si le sac en papier ne reste pas debout, est de le coucher, entrer le ramasse feuille a l’intérieur et ensuite le relever. Le seul petit hic est que c’est tellement léger que s’il est vide et il vente, il s’enfuit avec le vent. Aussi, j’ai préféré racler les feuilles dedans que d’utiliser le souffleur car le souffleur souffle les feuilles et le ramasse feuille, tellement il est léger !

Fonctionne très bien. Me fait sauver beaucoup de temps.
