Black and Decker is TopNotch

2008-06-13
I really had my doubts about a side bag on an ELECTRIC mower?? Snaps on and off easily, Black and Decker has some great engineers, this is a perfect example of putting the consumer first. Four dollar gas is not problem for me with my GRASSHOG!

Black & Decker Side Bag Assembly #BA-075
We were so happy to find this product for our mower. We find that the bag so not stay on the mower and we are going to have to engineer a way for it to stay on. It just falls off (from the mower and from the hook).

Attachment is a waste of money

2008-05-09
I love my Black & Decker electric mower so I had no hesitation about purchasing the bag attachment. What a disappointment! First, the bag arrives in a monstrously huge box which belies the actual diminutive size of the bag. When you finally get through all of the cardboard & packing material, the bag is quite small. To its credit, the bag is very easy to attach to the mower, though. The next big problem arrives when you try to use the bag - 1)it holds very little volume so you must empty it every few minutes & 2)if there is any (& I do mean even the smallest amount of)moisture in the grass that you're cutting, the clippings all get clogged at the opening of the bag. In other words, it won't suck the clippings into the bag. I finally got so aggravated that I took the thing off & just raked up the clippings so I could put them in the mulch bed. If I hadn't already used the thing for the first (& last) time, I would have shipped it right back & asked for my money back. What a disappointment.

Quality at a low price.

I have a B & D mower that this bag fits to. Previously, I owned a Toro electric mower with a side bag. The Toro was problematic in that grass would clog the outlet on the mower where it connects to the bag. So, every few minutes I would have to stop and unclog and clean up the mess. I only have a small plot of grass (approximately 250 sq. ft.) and this will fill the bag 1 time. I empty the bag, and I am done. And the other thing I noticed is that there is no cut grass left on the lawn, something else the Toro couldn't do. I think that B & D got this right, and at a much lower price than the Toro.

I am very pleased with my purchase from Amazon.
I got exactly what I ordered and in an affordable and fast and correct order. I will always use Amazon.

zipper failure

2008-07-19
Con:
I purchased this bag, along with a lawn mower, two seasons ago. The inboard zipper pulled past its "limit point", and would not re-link, after only one season. This third season looks to be the last legs for the other zipper, as I have been careful to the point of nuisance, in trying to prevent the seconds' failure.
The spreader/support bar, inside the bag, is also beginning to show through.
The stand-off bar post will strip its plastic hold with a small amount of pressure, so mowing close to any object on your right will require pulling the mower backwards from the left.
Pro:
It is very easy to get on and off, and only emptying twice on a 5000+ sq. ft. yard in a Cleveburg, OH suburb.

grass catcher - great time saver

2008-07-03
Very easy to attatch to the mower; saves a lot of time not having to sweep the driveway and sidewalks. Also, cut grass doesn't dry out on and choke the lawn because it is collected as you mow. Thrilled with the purchase.

Useful attachment

2008-07-02
The bag works, but the problem is the way it attach to the mower on the side, a little cunbersome, and also it makes the hole thing twice as wide, making it impossible to work the machine in tigh spaces.

Works well. Only drawback is that it's small. You will have to dump it many times, even for a small yard. Zipper gets caught quite easily.
