Product Description
PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ORDERING: Fill leaf bags in less than a minute. Rake leaves/debris right into the bag. No more bending or touching leaves/debris. Stand it up to empty a grass catcher or lay it down to rake leaves/debris right into the bag. Bag Butlers make filling plastic trash bags a one person job. Textured finish is easy to clean. Use it year round in the yard, camping, recycling, picnics, field events (folding portable trash can), in the shop...anytime you use trash bags. Made from solid heavy duty recycled plastics, not corrugated plastic or cardboard. No assembly, Patented, stores flat, lasts years. Shipping dimensions are listed in the description below, when used actual size is 24" x 20" x 10". Size of opening will change with different size bags used. 30 gallon bags work best for filling upright like a trash can. 33 to 42 gal. bags work best for raking directly into the Bag Butler laying down but can also be used upright, just slide the Bag Butler up as you fill. Holds paper bag laying down to rake into bag but the dust pan edge will curve. NOT for use upright in paper bags. Some first time users will try using their new Bag Butler backwards only to be disappointed when the side panels won't stay out and hold the bag open and possibly tearing the bag. Just make sure to pull the side panels inwards together (not push them outwards), put into the bag, and let go. Doing this creates the tension needed to hold the bag open. Only fits 30 to 42 gal bags. Check your bag size. DOES NOT FIT BAGS LARGER THAN 42 GALLONS.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When the product arrived, it came as a single, solid, flat, piece of plastic material. There are two "wings" connected to a larger single, flat, center piece that allow for some flexing back and forth. The wings are connected to the center piece along flexible, plastic-welded seams. When gently bent in the correct direction, the wings use their flexing seams to try to return to their original flat position and pull against the tensile strength of the trash bag material. Basically, the wings fold very easily in one direction and not easily in the other. The more difficult direction is the way to bend when inserting into a trash bag to create the rigid open bag shown in the ad images. The instructions enclosed state that you are supposed to fold the wings backward toward the face of the centerpiece with the image on it. This makes sense because this is opposite the direction of the natural fold along the seams and creates the tension that holds a flimsy trash bag rigidly open. In my case, the left side wing snapped off along the entire length of the centerpiece when I tried to fit the trash bag holder into the first trash bag of the day. It left a jagged edge along that seam which caused me issues later on.
Normally, I would have just scrapped the product, rated it accordingly, and then moved on with my life. But I was really trying to get a jump on this year's autumn leaves on that particular weekend and I had to press on and use the trash bag holder with only one wing. I needed to make progress that day and I could not wait for another delivery. I knew in doing this, a return would not be appropriate and I would have to settle with the $30+ partial solution. I have to admit that despite breaking as soon as I tried to use it, this product still was a big help to working by myself in the yard collecting and compressing mulched leaves from my lawn mower bagging attachment and my leaf blower/mulcher. Hence, the 3 star rating. I have to give credit where it is due and the unbroken seam on the unit I purchased held that entire weekend and the product still saved me lot of headaches working while by myself.
The primary drawbacks to using the the damaged product were that it
a) did not keep the bag taught and open all the way until the bag was at least half full, and
b) the jagged edge of the broken seam regularly tore holes in the bag when being puled out.
I have to move carefully when inserting or removing the bag holder from the bag to avoid catching the bag and creating tears. This is annoying but not a show stopper.
I am disappointed in the product having an immediate failure on one the wing seams the first time I tried to insert it into a trash bag, but it still saved me a lot of time overall. I used the extra large 40 gallon size trash bags too, so I don't think I was over-stressing the seams when trying to put the holder inside one. These particular bags may have just been taller to create the additional volume, so the failure on my larger capacity bags does NOT mean that this trash bag holder won't necessarily fit into the typical 30 gal black outdoor trash bags. It should work just fine. Just be careful when flexing against the plastic seams to insert into a trash bag or you might have a similar material failure to what I experienced.
I am not sure if I will purchase this product again. Perhaps a different brand. The concept is great and I'm sure it works when the product is undamaged but leaf season is not over where I live.Just not sure I want to take the risk again.
