4. Can I use a regular lawn & leaf bag?

• NO - PowerBags® are extra strong with a patented vent system that captures the leaves but still allows the air to escape.
PowerBags® are sealed on all 4 sides.

7. How can the System be better for your health?

• First - it keeps the dust away from your body and face so you do not readily breathe in the dust, see our Warning Section in the Operating Instructions for more information. And second, you no longer need to carry the heavy canvas bags.

8. How is it that you save “Time” and “Money”?

• Saving time is easy - you simply fill the same bag you drop at the curb.
• If you have purchased or are planning to purchase a blower vacuum, you learn that “mulching” the leaves reduces the number of bags by 3 times or more.

9. The universal connector looks large relative to the size of the discharge tube on my blower vac?

• The connector is made of a special synthetic material that allows you to create folds to fit the smaller sizes.
You can also use the original connector fitting from your old canvas bag to increase the size of the discharge tube.
