Very Disappointing Quality
4 of 4 found this helpful I’ve owned a different brand before, which I thought would help pick a better one now. This review is after just one use, and the results are very disappointing. I could have bought a different brand much better built for a third of what this cost available at many major retailers in the North America.
This looked good in photos and online reviews. The wider wheels would have been a plus, the handle bar design appeared sturdier than other brands, but that's where it ends and those features weren't so great. I expected that since Agri-Fab makes lawn tractor attachments, and apparently made in the USA, that this would be premium quality,
The cowling over the brushes is plastic which I didn’t expect, it's flimsy and it doesn't provide solid enough support for the handle bar that attaches to it. And the handle bar is too light, too small a diameter of steel tubing. The paint chipped very easily down to bare metal when I accidentally bumped something. And the end caps don’t stay on, one is missing already.
The collection bag is tarpaulin type material, that I doubt will last very long (having had experience with tarps). The attachment method to the unit is lightweight steel rods that have end caps that will fall off eventually. As someone else mentioned the sides are held in place by elastic straps, also not going to last, as has already been reported.
The steel shaft the brushes are attached to is only plain steel, it’s rusting already.
The only good thing I can say is it is useable, but with some difficulty because of the weak construction and low grade parts. I just can’t imagine it making through years of use based on all the quality issues.
This a huge fail, certainly not premium quality. I won’t forget the name Agri-Fab, and won’t buy again.
