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

Do not get me wrong, I LOVE my RYOBI RY405050 Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher when it comes to leaf collection. It has been a workhorse with no issues.  The one complaint I have is the bag. It gets very heavy and is a pain to empty without have disconnect it from the unit. The zipper gets stuck, and debris continuously leak out.

One of my commenters on Reddit suggested that I try the WORX Leaf Collection kit.  I picked one up from Amazon and looked.  The kit comes with a mesh cover that will cover just about any collection bin you have from a small trashcan to the largest 96-gallon curb bins that are popular in large metro areas. There is an eight-foot flexible hose, two connectors for Work brand products, and a universal connector for other brands.

I hooked it all up to my Ryobi Leaf Mulcher and it seemed to be working, or so I thought. The angle of the outlet port was causing a restriction with the universal adapter.  So, I figured I could just remove the outlet tube and reconnect the boot.  This proved to be harder than it seemed. I eventually just cut the bend out of the outlet tube and reconnected the boot. This proved to be a vast improvement to the functionality of the unit.

Unfortunately, I got rained out, so my testing ended, but in general the performance was there, all of the leaves ended up in the bin, the bad part is I am now tethered to the can by an eight-foot hose. Maybe a longer hose is in order we will have to see. 

My season is coming to a close, all the leaves are down, now if I can just get the rain to stop, so I can pick them up before it kills the lawn or freezes over.
