This side bag assembly is really a nice addition to my B&D BA-075 lawn mower. With the bag, I oftentime have a hard time mowing tall grass because of the massive mulch accumlated under the mower. With the bag, that is no longer an issue. However, the bag is way too small. For my small backyard, I had to empty the bag over 10 times. Also, it keep falling off the mower. The clips just doesn't seem to hold onto the mower that well. Having it on the right side of the mower also made the it mowing certain part of the lawn a bit difficult due to the fence, tree, or other obstacles. I can only mow one direction with the bag attached.

This side bag mounts easily on the mower and is fairly handy for fall clean-up in the yard. Unfortunately, the bag is so small you must constantly stop to empty it. Even in my small yard I generally have to empty it on every other pass across the lawn.

The subject pretty much says it all. The bag fits well and catches the grass just like it's supposed to. Emptying is relatively easy as the entire back end can unzip. However, the bag was a little small for my tastes. Even with fairly short grass, I ended up stopping every 10 minutes to empty the bag.

It's a good product but does add a fair bit of time to the lawn mowing process.

The bag worked decently with the noted problems but the zipper fell apart after only 3 or so months and I'm not mowing very much lawn or mowing it very often. Boooo!

I bought this bag 5 months ago and was very happy with it until a month later when one of the side zippers broke. I had used it 2 or 3 times, opening and closing the zipper 3-4 times on each occasion. Since the other side's zipper eas still working, I didn't bother to change or replace it. However, last weekend the other zipper broke as well. I have now written to Amazon and hopefully they (or B&D) will replace it.

It is otherwise quite sufficient for my backyard and is very handy, easy to put up and clean.

The Black & Decker BA-075 Side Bag Assembly is great for bagging the mower's mulched leaves in the fall. For small lawns, it's a lot easier than raking. The bag attaches and detaches quickly and easily from the mower, and the bag unzips easily for emptying. The leaves, being mulched, are much more compact than raked leaves for more convenient disposal. I enjoy fall lawn cleanup much more with this mower attachment.

this product is overpriced. it certainly doesn't contain $40 of technology. the bag is made from cheap material. i'm on my third. the first one wore out because the zippers broke. the 2nd one had a hole in it where a metal piece rubs against it. amazon promptly replaced it - thanks. i wish there were alternatives for this product or that it was priced lower. and that you could replace just the canvas bag and not the hole thing.

I bought this bag a month ago after relying on the mulcher feature of my mower for 2 years. The bag is easy to put on and take off the mower, and does a good job catching grass, though it could be a little bit larger. However, the zippers on this bag are pretty worthless. After 4 uses, one of the two zippers is already broken. Having read other reviews citing problems with the zippers, I was pretty careful with them, but to no avail. Now this month-old product has one working zipper. It would be nice if Black and Decker would put heavy duty zippers on this product! I will also be writing to Amazon and Black and Decker seeking a replacement bag.

I had a little fear about this after reading the other reviews, but this has worked great! Yes, it requires frequent emptying but it does it's job and is a good accessory. A little patience goes a long way. Glad I got it, smooth operation.

The support rod I received is 6" too long for the bag, or else the bag I received is 6" too short for the rod. The box may have been opened and re-taped. I had to tie the bag to the rod with a piece of wire. I won't be using the bag that often so it's not that big a deal, but it's disappointing. Other than that the bag works fine. As others have said, it's a bit smaller than most grass bags.
