Ryobi RY08510 VAC Leaf Blower Faulty Zipper Creates Bigger Mess

My frustration level is through the roof ever since I got my hands on a Ryobi RY08510 VAC leaf blower. The yard cleanup champion that this thing is supposed to be is, in fact, completely ineffective. the collection bag has a terrible zipper. Its intended purpose is to contain those bothersome leaves, but in reality, it serves no purpose whatsoever, much like a chocolate teapot. The whole thing just explodes, making a bigger mess than before. You'd think a vacuum bag's zipper would be an obvious standard, but apparently not. I am currently encumbered with a leaf-spreading blower, which resembles a playful toddler tossing toys. I was hoping for a different solution for the fall yard cleanup, and this isn't it. Take my advice and keep looking if the Ryobi RY08510 VAC is on your radar. There are more suitable alternatives that will not make you feel like you squandered your money.
