WORX Leaf Collection System will it WORK? | RYOBI Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher | 2021/42

The hose will blow out of the cover but can be fixed using a zip tie. It will still come out but not as often. The universal connector will not stay attached no matter how tight it is. Cleverly rigged bungees will help a lot. Blowing the leaves into a 96-gallon can is handy if you don't have to take them out to bag the leaves into paper bags. I use a 32-gallon can which fills one paper bag. This reflects my experience using the Worx collection system with a Toro vacuum. Using the Worx leaf vac/blower the setup works much better. The hose still blows out of the bag on rare occasions, however.

Think I'll pass on the Ryobi and buy the Works vacuum for a better fit and stronger vacuum. That CFM is horrid! From the videos I've watched on the Works WG518, it picks up the leaves much faster! Thanks for the review of the Works and the warning on the Ryobi!

You seem like a nice guy but gotta disagree with you about Ryobi. They absolutely suck and Home Depot basically uses the brand to get out of warranty service, etc. Try calling them for help and you'll see what I mean. I've waited for over 45 minutes only to be unceremoniously disconnected. Hate the miserable bastards!

As far as this particular product, it's a common design and nothing better than a basic Black & Decker model. If you bought the Worx collection system I don't know why you would opt to go through all of this when you could have just bought their vac. Anyway, thanks for the video and DIY spirit.

I have a similar Toro unit with a bag and although I agree it is too slow for the days when your yard is covered I use it a few times a year to get the left over leaves that are scattered around my landscaping and patios. I walk around from spot to spot sucking up a small amount here and there leaving a nice clean yard and mulch beds. If you had a very small yard or say a condo patio these vacuums would probably be all you need.

I have that setup with the worx blower vac but the cover keeps blowing off the trash can

seems like a rake would be a lot faster

Good review, REAL

Great video. How do you open that ratcheting strap on the universal connector.

Can you give me a good idea where you bought that piece of equipment THANK YOU

Get a Torro with a cord,and it will pick up acorns. They just don’t last very long. Mine is the blower vac and I think it’s the third one I’ve had in the last ten years.

Thx great review

Wow! That thing sucks no matter what you do to it

Awesome mod!

Looks promising on something with a better vacuum. I use backpack blower to a pile. Have the toro corded vacuum lying on the on ground. Replaced bag with corrugated pipe on discharge with a tarp as back stop. Pull up a seat and rake the leaves to vacuum😂

LOL what an awful product. I rake my leaves up and take them out to the street on a huge tarp. I take out 3 loads. The equivalent of 12 trash cans full. Maybe more.

You said: "Til it goes to the curb." Shredded leaves are "brown gold" for anyone who grows. You have plants. Why throw away mulch the feeds the soil, which feeds the plants? You said: "All mulched up." Didn't look very shredded to me! What is the ratio? My 30 yr. old B/D reduces 15-1, cost $100.

Rake would be faster, cheaper.

Thanks for the video. Now I know what vacuum blower to avoid.

For small yards, that probably works. But for larger yards with lots of trees, that leaf mulcher is basically useless. Instead, get a gas-powered leaf blower, and a chipper/shredder. Blow the leaves into big piles, then put them into the chipper-shredder. So much easier.

I'm frustrated by the wimpy leaf equipment out there. I have 18 enormous trees! The equipment out there is like me trying to drink the ocean with a cocktail straw.

I just recently got 2 of these Worx leaf collection systems for less than the price of 1. Brand new.

I've got a Toro ultraplus 51621 leaf blower and vacuum which has been awesome but the leaf bag got heavy.

I've got a large 95 gallon trash can with wheels, so I'll get a liner and use that.

I haven't used it yet, I'll see if I can get a connector to connect both hoses (one from each kit) making it 16 feet instead of 8. I don't know that length will mess up the suction or not.

If I can't find a connector to connect the 2 hoses together or having the 2 hoses connected messed up the suction then at least I have a second collection system for parts of something breaks.

With my toro, which I feel is pretty powerful for an electric, I hope it'll work fine.

Well that’s irreversible mod.

Has anyone tried using a long ship vac hose Macgyverd so it’s dumped in the green bin? I like to be innovative and use what I have on hand.

You have any leaf sucker not going to leaves through not blower fan?

That shit would take all day

Do you think the RYOBI vac would work with dog hair? My lab sheds a ridiculous amount of hair around the patio and using a blower isn’t a viable option because the hair just ends up in the air and a lot makes it into the pool. Just wondering if the mulching aspect would be an issue with the hair.

That thing looks really painfull!!!

🧐 I wonder, can you pick up the maple helicopter seeds with this unit without damaging the propellers?

Extending the hose may compromise the sucking power!

How well with this Lee system that’s in that box work with a Roby electric unit? Or even maybe a stronger more powerful type leaf blower vacuum? No, if you could get yourself some type of a wagon And place your trashcan in the wagon with a long handle or maybe set it in the back of a riding lawnmower attachment and you could just cruise around on your your lawnmower with your long vac hose off to the side swish in your hand back-and-forth picking up your leaves instead of walking and bending over let the machine to do the work!

If you get some type of PVC that you can attach, you could probably make a big hook or shepherd hook shape and suck all the leaves out of your gutters if your gutters aren’t too high up 😊

How do you loosen the strap? I cannot figure it out and the instructions just say reverse installation.

TIM from Canada looking at this new system from WORX Leaf collection system. It would have been nice to have a second option of having some sort of attachment which would fit into a normal size leaf bag. If you could have a system that would fit inside your leaf bag as you are cleaning this up, this would have been a better option. Not Everyone has the option of having one of those big green garbage cans and not everyone has the option of using, a trashcan 85% of people put leave in disposable leaf bags. If this was an attachment they could have included along with what you get now would have been a better option but once again, the people who make this stuff usually do not use the stuff when you are cleaning up the leaves you are usually putting everything into paper roadside bags. This would have been a better option to have

Glad you demonstrated this with maple leaves, but it seemed pretty slow-going at that leaf size. Catching only a few leaves per pass seems to take away from the intended concept of the design. I think I'd prefer a lawn mower type apparatus for this kind of task.

After watching how much work this is, I'll stick to using my $20 blower to blow the leaves into a pile and raking. I've heard these vac/blowers are good for blowing cellulose into the walls though!

THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO AND FOR SHOWING ME WHAT NOT TO PURCHASE FOR LEAF REMOVAL. THAT LEAF VACUUM IS DOG SHIT AND ONLY IDIOTS WOULD PURCHASE.

Where can you purchase it with a longer hose ? I looked it only found it standard size.

Well, after seeing that video my dad advice is to stay away from these underpowered leaf vacuum. I would have grabbed that pile of leaf in a single scoop for a fraction of the time it required to vacuum a few of them.

Finally got to use mine and it kept clogging especially in the hose finally used the pitch fork and got it all up 🤷‍♀️

Hi please tell me how to loosen the attachment you used. The bag with the tightening band

Hi there! Do you know if you have something like an extension to vacuum gutters without climbing the roof?

Sorry... I just noticed you did post all the info already. My bad.

Hey what hose and cover did you exactly use? I rather just order the stuff first instead of trying to create something from scratch. Thanks

Bro. That thing is trash. I'll get one for when I work in the yard from a Rascal

Products you use page is way out of date. Links to non-existent products...

Did your tool lose power once you hacked it? It sounded different and performed weaker.

Seems like it would be faster to pick up the leaves one at a time.

IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU JUST USE A BLOWER AND RAKE THEM UP , !!

dumb video.... you had the video on fast speed recording and we cant tell how long it took you to vacuam up all them leaves

I tried that years ago and ended up sitting on the ground feeding the leaves into the intake way to slow and eventually the fan blades that mulch the leaves chip and break from twigs reducing the suction the whole idea is ridiculous, the opening of the intake is way too small for the larger leaves, just bag them and put them out for pickup don’t waste you time with this.

✌The idea with the tank is good, it's just a pity that the battery vacuum cleaner is not very powerful!👍
