Luster LeafA650 Leaf and Lawn Chute

The lawn chute I recently purchased is a game-changer for my yard work in the fall. Its sturdy and durable design makes it easy to direct grass clippings or leaves precisely where I want them, streamlining the cleanup process. The chute's flexibility allows for quick adjustments, adapting to different angles and heights as needed. Assembly was a breeze, and it seamlessly attaches to my lawnmower, enhancing its versatility. Overall, the lawn chute has become an essential tool in maintaining a tidy lawn, making the chore of yard work more efficient and less time-consuming.

Works great. I’ve been doing it all wrong for years watching that bag fall when I try to put leaves in. Bought a snow shovel and now along with this it’s so easy to shovel the leaves into the leave bags while this holds it open and provides a little chute for them to get in the bag.

When you’re raking leaves (or similar yard materials) and trying to put them into a bag (whether paper or plastic), one perpetual struggle is how to keep the bag in a such a state that (1) the raked leaves are easy to insert and (2) the bag doesn’t collapse and spill the its contents back onto the yard. Over 26 rears of homeownership and 40-plus years of leaf raking, I’ve tried a lot of different products and systems. The earliest method was simply me holding a plastic lawn bag open while my dad dropped rake loads of leaves between my outstretched arms. The problem was that required two people and led to dirty, scratched up arms. The next method was a wire X-frame that held a plastic bag open and upright. The problems were that the bag would sometimes slip off the frame and spill its contents and that the bag, once filled, was difficult to remove from the frame, often resulting in spilled leaves. The next method was a stiff plastic sheet that you’d roll into a cylinder and insert into the bag. The only problem was that the cylinder was unstable at the bottom and would tip or blow over from time to time but, for a long time, that was my go-to method and it’s still the one I use when filling a plastic lawn ‘n’ leaf bag. A few years ago, in an attempt to introduce less toxic plastic into the environment, I switched to using paper yard waste bags. Like plastic yard waste bags, the issue with paper bags is keeping them open and upright while you’re trying to fill them. This product, the Lawn and Leaf Chute, is a very elegant and effective system. I’ve used it with 30 gallon yard waste bags from my local hardware store for the past three seasons and have uncovered no shortfalls or issues. Once the chute is inserted correctly (which takes a minute to learn but is simple to repeat afterward), the bag is stable, easy to fill, and easy to move from place to place. Once the bag is filled, it’s easy to lift the chute out. The chute, when folded up, is flat, takes up little room, and stores easily. I’ve seen some reviews question its durability and describe it as being made of “plasticized cardboard.” Have no worries: it’s made of the same kind of corrugated plastic you see in those mail collection bins used by the US Postal Service. Those things are nearly indestructible and this product seems the same.

So the first one that was shipped was not shipped in a box, and it was already torn when it arrived. I returned it, and the next one was delivered in a box and in good condition. The function of it is beyond wonderful!!! I fought with 5 bags with my front lawn. In comparison, after receiving this wonderful tool, the 4 bags for my backyard, this thing was AWESOME!!! It holds the bag open so nicely, and I can shovel in the leaves so easily!!! I would have given it 5 stars except for the sturdiness of it, as others have noted. Since I didn't want it to rip, I don't even bend it like the instructions say. I only open the 2 sides, and it works like a dream!!! Since it is fragile, I have, as a prevention, used packing tape to both sides of the back where the bend is, and I believe it will last a long time. If it does not last, I'm sure duck tape will do the trick. I wish I'd found this a long time ago!!!

This chute is awesome! I don't know how one could load leaves without it!

This thing makes bagging so much easier. Worth it.

This is my second one. Wouldn’t work outside without it. Put this in a contractor bag and then in a big round trash can to hold it up. Fill it, tie it, put it out on trash day. Love it.

Worked great at the beginning. Then the chute broke off. Very frustrating. Great design. Poor quality.

works great, a bit pricy

I’m very happy with this product . I was struggling to keep the yard bag upright. Now its a breeze .

works well. saves a lot if mess when loading the yard waste bags

I rated this product as a 4 star only because I would have preferred it had to have been made a little more sturdy. Works well, fits the paper yard waste bag perfectly. However with any type of breeze the gab and chute will tip over. If the yard waste is wet, then the form of the chute becomes more pliable, making it flimsy. Even if I get a season out of this gizmo, and it does it's job then I'm happy. I'd buy another one if needed in the future.What impressed me the most was how easy it was to deal with Amazon.ca. Ordering was made easy, delivery was as they said it would be, on time.John Winter, Port Dover ON

This is second one I bought as I wanted to speed up my collecting leaves. I still use the one I bought years ago. Very durable and they fold up so well. A great gift - especially for the dad who has everything.
