Amazon.com Product Review
REVIEW:Black & Decker is one of the world's leading manufacturers of electric and battery-powered leaf blower and vacuums. Each blower/vacuum comes with a cloth bag that's used to collect the leaves when the unit is used in the vacuum mode. However, during normal use the bags sustain a fair amount of abuse and rough handling. As a result they occasionally need to be replaced. (Never attempt to use the leaf vacuum without the bag attached.)

If you're in the market for a new collection bag, check out the Black & Decker BV-005 Blower/Vacuum Replacement Shoulder Bag. Made of heavy-duty fabric, it has a full zipper and adjustable shoulder strap. The bag has an impressive two-bushel capacity, and it fits all Black & Decker blower/vacuums. To avoid tearing the bag or rupturing its zipper, always empty the bag as soon as it becomes full, and never allow the bag to drag along the ground.

Black & Decker recently made improvements and upgrades to the bag. They have reinforced the zipper and strap to ensure that the bag is durable and long-lasting. --Joseph Truini

Customer Reviews

B&D Leaf Hog Really Blows
I'm an unfortunate owner of a B&D Leaf Hog & also have problems with that miserable collection bag. The zipper on mine is fine but one of the two cheap plastic tabs in the collar broke almost immediately (rendering the bag useless). I wasted my time jury rigging a screw/nut to replace the broken tab. I now get about 30 seconds of run-time before the bag blasts off. I also, like one of the other reviewers, purchased their hose for a trashcan and it's as sad as their collection bag.

Do yourself a favor & buy a higher-end Toro unit.

Black and Decker Con
For those of you who have this terrible product I need not say anymore; you know how bad it is by now. For those of you thinking about buying a B&D leaf blower system of any king, don't. They con you into buying their system, and then force you into buy a new bag every year by providing a sub par bag to go with it. The zipper is made of nylon and will break after the first few times you use it. The bag is cloth and will rip or even blow open shortly after the zipper breaks. It should be made of nylon fiber with a reinforced zipper. I would rather pick the darn leafs up by hand than be frustrated with this inferior product

This solution worked for me.
After reading the reviews on this site, I figured there had to be a better solution than throwing money away on another bag. I went to my local craft store and purchased a package of velcro (for $3.19). It contained both sides of velcro and you secure it to fabric using a steam iron. Without removing the old zipper, I vacuumed the inside of the bag and ironed the velcro in place. To my surprise it worked. I have used it three times now and it works flawlessly. Interestingly, the velcro "opens" up to release pressure when it can't take anymore.

I also used WD40 to lube the connection of the bag to the motor housing.

These two fixes have salvaged what would have been a totally useless device.

Hope that helps.
