does bag stay attached while blowing ?

No, you reconfigure it to have the blower nozzle where the bag goes. Takes about thirty seconds to swap the ends out.

I have a BV5600 and my bag is great. It zipps all the way accross the end and most of the way up the side. You said you had trouble getting it to fit on your blower you must have the wrong bag.

I believe you just remove the bag and place the blower attachment where the bag connects

Sorry I haven't used the blowing function so can't answer. It sucks really well though

The only way to secure the bag to the blower/vac is to cinch the bag over the entire blower body. This will mean the engine and handle will be on the inside of the bag. The chute the leaves come out of is too small to cinch the monster bag to. The size of the bag will make it combersome to move around.

Yes. It only attaches with velcro. And by the way, my bag ripped at the top seam less than two months after using. I wouldn't buy it if I were you.Clint Engel

No, they are permanently attached. There are small areas of molle on the outer most ends of the bag though. There is another version of this exact bag with the three outer pouches attached by molle and therefore removable. Might be Condor. It's the exact same bag with just that difference, so if that's important to you look around on Amazon and you'll find that version.

Though it does not zip, I have not had an issue with it falling out. I also carry it in my tote and it's always intact when I take it out. Hope this helps.

The bag underneath is a soft net with the cord coiled in the bottom. This allows the cord to wind and unwind properly. Unmounted, meaning the net laying on a surface, neither process works well. The winding in particular will not work at all. Having said that, it does not need to be attached to a wall specifically, it just has to be held up in the air in some manner, probably a helper, since holding with one hand and winding with the other also does not work well.

It does not come off....and it sucks to store in the bag. While I have not broken mine yet...it seems immanent...

No, it doesn't tie off or twist itself. You could put a twist tie on it first and then cut it off to keep all the smell in. There isn't much smell when cutting it off, then putting a knot in the bag though.

I agree with everyone else here. The only time the bag might come off is if you didn't seat it full when attaching. Even that is not likely since you'll hear a very loud click when the bag engages the bracket.

It is extremely easy to empty bag and reattach. Large leaves are not a problem, they get ground up prior to entering bag. If it is a stick that is able to be sucked up, it will get ground up. Having said that I would avoid as many sticks as you can. Insides are made of plastic I assume.

No, The air direction is one way, the wrong way for what you would like to do. The bag or blower tube is on the outlet side. The mulch/vac tubes are on the intake side.

There are little plastic tabs on the outside edge of the top support bar (if you put it together correctly). Just make sure the top of the bag and the string are hooked into those, then gently tighten the drawstring to hold it in place. In my experience the middle bag is the *most* secure attachment.

Yes, there is a lever that you flip that changes the direction of the air flow. You do not have to remove the bag when changing from vacuum to blower mode. Hope this helps.

Some rolling bags will have a locking handle that has a push-button release that extends and retracts the handle. When a bag does not have the push-button release, they have to design the handle to be a little tighter fit so the handle does not fall down when it is not being pulled. It should still extend and retract so if you cannot get this to come up or down, you may check on the warranty for the bag. Also, if the bag is new, once you get the handle to fully retract, you may push the handle down and pull it back up a few times to help break in the handle some so it becomes easier to extend.
