Craftsman 9 bushel 3 - Bin Soft Bagger for 46 in. Deck —
I purchased the bagger attachment after going one season without it. Initially I rationalized the purchase to save time with leaves in the fall (I have a ton). However, when I received the bagger I decided to give it a test run with just grass and I was amazed how well it worked. I had to empty the three bins 2 times to complete the whole yard. I am eager to see how well this will work as a solution to raking leaves for 3-4 days.
I was concerned by some of the other reviews that mentioned having to remold the shoot that attaches to the deck. I have to say that the first time I attempted to put mine on it did not seem to fit properly but after coming at it from a few angles I discovered that it fits perfectly.
My only two negatives would be that once all the bins are somewhat full all the grass tends to pile on top of the bin furthest from the shoot instead of topping of the other two bins. Also, my indicator (little red paddle wheel looking thing) on the shoot seems to work opposite of how it should. It shows that it should spin when the bags are not full but spins when they are close to full. The indicator still servers its purpose just backwards.
Overall, if it picks up leaves as well as it picks up grass I will be very, very pleased.
