Bag Butler® Lawn and Leaf Trash Bag Holder Holds 30-42 Gallon Bags Open For Easy Filling. No Assembly Required. Made in U.S.A.

There are negative reviews for this product claiming you must tie the handles together to prevent it from falling flat. If you are folding this in the correct direction and inserting it into the bag properly it has a spring type action that will hold the bag open. The correct direction is opposite of what you are doing if the item immediately falls flat! If you fail to fold this on the correct side it will continue to flatten out. That would be user error. I am on my second leaf butler , my first one lasted about two years before breaking at the folds. I have three acres of a well treed yard so this gets quite the workout each fall. I have found this to be very helpful because I can sweep the leaves directly into the bag without constantly bending over & having to lift leaves up into a bag. I plan to purchase another when this one breaks because it makes my job exponentially easier. I have a bad back and constant bending isn’t good. With this I only have to bend when the bag is as full as I want it to be. Read and follow instructions and you’ll appreciate the utility of this product.

Product is well made and works as advertised. Makes leaf management much easier!

I'm so thankful I found this! I'm elderly, but I like to trim my own bushes. I got the one for 30 gallon bags, so that when it's full I can easily lift the bag into my trash can. It truthfully is the perfect helper, and so easy to use!

Hated having to constantly open lawn bag (or wait for someone) time after time and let me not mention the process on a windy day, ugh! Wind closes it after I had it opened/almost opened, etc. .... I didn't know this existed. I found it while searching for 'something' to hold bag open/make yard work easier. ... I liked it's not a large bag/barrel to drag around yard then dump or pull/struggle to remove full bag of debris out of. ... Truthfully, I ordered with low expectations. However, it's really great! It's so useful, hubby, who thinks most things are waste of $/not needed, has commented it was a good buy and (he) uses it regularly! ... Have mostly use it upright to (literally) throw things in (even from a short distance away) but have on occasion use it laying on ground to rake into. It works equally well. .... I do wish there was a larger version since we use 50-gal bags which cause loose fit/smaller opening than if bag was recommended size. However, it still works fine. (Didn't know bag used were larger or wouldn't have bought, so glad I didn't know bc it still works well.) ... PLEASE MAKE 50-GAL SIZE. ... For the price (and from picture) I thought it was a 2 pk, so disappointed only one. ... Overall good design: Handles in right place for easy insert/carry/removal, strong/rugged material, light weight/portable yet weighty/steady against wind/raking/throwing things in without falling over/moving from position, easy to use/store away and to wipe/rinse if ever needed. ... Be careful to open correctly, so not only it works as intended but also to maintain the 'spring back' affect which is what holds bag open. Hubby has opened/folded it incorrectly a few times now has less 'spring back', and the folding sections appear less durable, e.g., if folded wrong way many times could cause folded section to loosen/break off. Hard to describe but if you buy, you'll understand what I'm trying to describe. ... Maybe an actual coil spring could be used to enhance durability/minimize incorrect folding. .... A LITTLE THING THAT WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

I think it’s a little pricey for what it is. In hindsight, I could have used a big piece of cardboard for the same result. Maybe some duct tape to strengthen it up. At least this one can stay out in the rain though, if I forget to pick it up. It works great standing up. Laying down, not so much. You’ll snag your rake on the bag, it’ll slide around… just get a big plastic scoop shovel and fill the bag up. I don’t understand the several gripes in these reviews about the Bag Butler not being tall enough to stand all the way out of the bag. Ok, so you fill it up some, then you give it a little shake and pull the Butler up, it’ll sit higher. Ta-daah!
