Is bag attached tightly? Are there any gaps? Does any dust escape? I had Toro, but its bag is very loosely attached and it blows dust in my face.

Yes it attaches really well. I haven't had any issues with dust escaping from my unit.

I have been using for several months now and have not had a problem sith dust or dirt in holes. I do use a briefcase to transport and do not work in a dusty environment.

In the top is the little "crusher" with the handle. It can collect dust. I haven't had any problems with the trash bags. You can (if you are able to do it) take the inside liner out to put the bag in and that helps keep the bags from sliding. I just haven't been able to do that and get the liner with the bag back in to close it tightly without having some of the bag mess up. But it works with part of the bag on the outside. No, I don't have problems with the bags ripping or it needing cleaning except to dust the inset where the handle is. t

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.

The bag fills up pretty well, and I don't notice dust flying around too much. It's definitely not a problem and the tool is awesome and it's assembled in GA.

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.

I can't say for sure since I've never tried that, but I think it will blow some of the ash out of the bag (and possibly into your face). I know when I suck up leaves in the dirt, it blows the fine dirt out through the mesh bag. I love this blower/vacuum, but it might not be what you're wanting. Maybe try a wet/dry vac? Home Depot has a cool little one that goes over their 5 gal orange "Homer" buckets, it's called the Bucket Head... it's really neat and would work for bbq ash, I'm sure.

Jack is spot on! I have had the Toro 1800 for 3 days. The 1st day the belt slipped off. There was side to side play in the roter/auger, just a little bit, but enough. I pulled both side covers off, put the belt back on, and tightened the hell out of everything. Put it all back together, and it has been running perfect for some major snow clearing the last 2 days, at least 6 hours each day and at least 6 inches of snow cover. After you take it apart and tighten everything, I'd recommend putting some black duck tape over the seams of the side covers to make sure everything inside stays dry, so far so good for me.

Yes. Bag just aids in finer dust collection. Works great for me either way.

I have not noticed any dust coming out of the bag. This vacuum is the replacement for our old Eureka we used for over 30 years. It did not leak dust either, just got tired.

I am allergic to dust mites and more and I'm still using the bag that came with the Eureka and have not experienced any issues. I also purchased a package of 9 Envirocaire Microfiltration vacuum bags "Eureka Allergy Micro Lined Vacuum F&G; Bags" as purchased on Amazon at the same time to use which should be even better. (I use the Envirocaire cloth HEPA bags in my older canister vac and they are good quality brand).

Barry D. not sure we have just wrote to Worx about our bag ripping after 2 times so we shall see how they respond. Still love the idea we can vacuum up the leaves it has made life easier being electric. We see our neighbor with a Gas Blower & having to stop quite a bit to put more Gas in. Love the Trash Can attachment better then the smaller bag but will let you know what Worx says.

One time I looked at my sweeper bag and the dirt was all in the bottom. So I loosened it up. Also when I use attachments and the hose is not connected to the sweeper, dust comes out. So I just put a rag in it and it seemed to take care of that.

I never had problems with the wheels. I traveled every week with this bag for about 2 years, and the wheels never became sticky or dragged. I wheeled it for miles through major cities, and the wheels even stayed quiet. I have had bags with wheels that became very noisy. I like that it was the perfect sized bag to hold everything I needed (except my new computer that is too wide at 14" - I think the previous laptop was 12"), and it fit in small overhead bins on region jets. The only complaint I would have about this bag is the single handle design. I could not place another bag or even a purse on top or it would fall to the side and drag.

i have to leave the bottom unzipped and put it in a trash can to keep dust from blowing in my face. the air generated from the table saw causes dust to blow back. it works alright but if your really looking for dust control use a vacuum. the bag has poor air flow

I only use it outdoors, it's impossible to keep the dust from blowing around, I just point out away from where I'm cleaning, one disadvantage of shop vacs, make sure your filters are clean and bag is kept before 3/4 full and at least you won't be blowing the dust you've just sucked up back into the floor. with a little ingenuity you could make a short hose and zip tie a little high flow filter element, maybe like a lawn mower filter, but it would have to show high volume and you'd have to clean it too. Does the floor attachment fit, turn it face up, Still need a filter.

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.
