Black & Decker Side Bag Assembly #BA-075

I got the bag to pick up leaves. It works great and seems to be well made. It is just a little small. I have to empty often, but that is much better than raking by hand. cut my fall clean up time down by 1/2, easy. If you have a small yard, it is nice to have.

this product is overpriced. it certainly doesn't contain $40 of technology. the bag is made from cheap material. i'm on my third. the first one wore out because the zippers broke. the 2nd one had a hole in it where a metal piece rubs against it. amazon promptly replaced it - thanks. i wish there were alternatives for this product or that it was priced lower. and that you could replace just the canvas bag and not the hole thing.

Easy to 'install' and easy to use.
The worst part, as other reviewers have stated, is the small bag size.
The side bag design also makes it a bit of pain to use in tight spots or near objects (shed, tree among others).
The bag should have been at least twice as large, but I understand that there are limitations to a side discharge design.
The mower (MM575 in my case) should have had a rear discharge design. This would allow for a bigger bag and more mobility.

The few negatives aside, this certainly beats raking or blowing (unless you have a heavy-duty blower, but those require gas and, hence, maintenance).
I had bought a lawn leaf sweeper from another store and, while it works pretty well, the brushes can get stuck in the lawn. Also, because it doesn't chop / mulch the leaves, it also needs frequent emptying
That is where this B&D bag comes in: the mower doesn't get caught in the grass.
Additionally, by combining the leaf removal with mowing, I can do two things at once, albeit at a much slower pace than usual, mainly due to the small bag.

Although I haven't had a chance to use this product, it fit easily and seemlessly into the intended slot. It looks solid enough and appears durable.

The bag is okay. Don't have too big a problem with the size and all but one major problem is the lousy zipper. Read lots of problems about them and I had one too the first month or so. The other worked but now I have problems with that one as well. I cannot zipper it all the way or the one functioning zipper comes off so I have to keep it open slightly and get pelted with cut grass till the whole plugs up.

The other problem is that it does not hook on so well so if you lightly bump into something the bag falls off...not major but a pain in the neck.
