Best money I ever spent. I had read the reviews before I purchased and was a little worried about the bags not all filling so I wasn't surprised when it happened. However, I found the solution. Let the bagger fill and keep mowing so the leaves are muclched. Once the yard is done empty the bagger and go back over the yard. The mulched leaves pack evenly and allow you to fill the entire compartment. You'll make less trips dumping the bags and get at least 12 bushels each haul because everything packs so well.
