That "bag" is WAAY too small, for any real lot leaf cleanup, and even at $300 (w/2 batteries), I wouldn't buy it.(unless I didn't have a blower already, and/or really needed the batteries for something else).
Figure the batteries are worth $80-100 each, so tool is "worth" the rest.

I have this and yes the bag isn't huge but it does grab a significant amount of leaves and makes carrying easier and more mobile. Dumping the bag is super easy. Best way to use this thing is to do a few smaller cleanups rather than one large one. The harness is so clutch. Makes using this so much easier. If you've ever used a leaf vacuum with the larger bags they are super annoying, always hitting your leg or dragging on the ground. Love my unit!

To each their own. I have an acre of land, and have to clean out about half of that in the fall. Just did the 1/8 acre back yard, and doubt that this thing would let me do it in one go. Filling and emptying that bag multiple times would be a PITA.

lol. I can empty the bag in under a minute. not sure how that is a PITA.

Some people just want to leave a log in the punch bowl. Humble brag "I just did the 1/8 acre back ..."
How well does this work? I have the old 40v mulcher with the annoying drag behind bag and the thing constantly clogged. Does this one work on tougher leaves like magnolia?
This things just sits in my basement while my leaf blower and lawn mower do the job. I have thought about using a barrel attachment but it's just not worth it

a) There's no "humble brag". I just did my back yard, so know the amount/volume of leaves involved.
b) that "old" 40v mulcher is the one of two 40v products I bought and returned. Found that (for me), nothing beats using my 40v blowers to get the leaves done.
I have found in general backpack/handheld vacuums do not work if you have any substantial amount of trees in your yard. I find it better to just get a gas blower to blow all the leaves to an area or driveway and then mulch/bag the leaves with a good lawnmower.

Agreed. And I don't even mulch/bag them. I have a substantial treeline on my property, and I just blow all the leaves BACK into the treeline floor, so no need to bag/mulch.
I have a bunch of mulch and the leaves get all over it. Will this thing suck all my mulch up? I use a blower but the freakin blower blows my mulch everywhere because I have weed barrier.

This unit is great. It bags enough leaves minimal dust and saves on having dozens of leaf bags . My only gripe is the blower / mulcher switch knob can get stuck at times

See, I have no need to bag my leaves as I can just blow them into my treeline.
ok so you're just trolling in some random thread since you dont need this product. its a new day you can now pick another thread
No trolling. I had bought the Ryobi 40v Mulcher with the BIGGER bag, and was hoping to be able to use it to clear my back/front yards.
The LARGER bag filled up WAAAY too fast, even mulched, and emptying it was a PITA. So sharing my experience, and relating it to this one with the even SMALLER bag, which means that unless you have a really small lot (like 1/4 acre total), using this is going to be a PITA and emptying it on a very frequent basis.
I now just blow the leaves back to the treeline behind my house, and let them self compost there.

Like I said, to each their own.
