Collection box useless.

The machine itself is very good and removes an unbelievable amount of thatch from the lawn .......... that's where the problem starts. You then have to follow yourself around picking all of it up by hand because none of it goes in the collection box. It blows the thatch everywhere but in the collection box. To start with, it's an inconvenience, very quickly it gets annoying. It's a shame for a good machine to be let down by this, but - would I have bought one knowing it didn't have a cuttings collection box. Answer - NO.
