Harbor Freight Tools - Portland 3 in 1 became a 1 in 1
Had it 1 season, zipper rips and can't get it to close so leaves blow out the back as you pick up. Figured No Problem, just order a replacement...Nope, they don't offer a replacement.
Customer service recommended that I "contact a local upholstery shop or repair professional for assistance with producing a suitable replacement bag to the original bag's specifications". WOW!!How is it possible to not offer a replacement on something so shoddily made? I'm sure I'm not the first or last to have this problem. I guess my 3 in 1 became a 1 in 1.
Thanks Harbor Freight!! 1 out of 5 stars :(

My bag also did not last. The zipper came undone.
You can buy a replacement bag from Greenworks.
The bag from Greenworks is an exact duplicate. It comes with the adapter. It can be bought on Amazon for about $23.00
Do you have an item number, I can't find the bag on Amazon
I have the same exact problem with my Portland bag...rendering it useless
Same issue. No replacement bag available anywhere. Absolutely unacceptable!
Same issue..... I used it and got about 10-12 bags then noticed hole in bak.
Found it to be zipper. Shame cant get replace bag. And to those who bust chops..
some people do not do this professionally and do not want to spend 150-300 on once or twice a year use. I don't expect diamonds but also don't expect coal.
ha ha....what do you expect from items bought at HFT..... not the best QUALITY, but gets the job done....go get another one or a more Quality one somewhere else....
Same thing happened to me. and having a hard time finding a replacement. Much easier to buy a better blower!
You can buy a replacement bag from Greenworks.
This bag is *** quality ...don't waste your money on this blower/vac...
Never going to Harbor Freight again
Blower works good, bag ripped on us too, gotta be one the few companies to not sell replacement parts, this sucks! Seams to me this would be a great opportunity for someone to manufacture an aftermarket bag for it.
I was able to adapt this one. It has a sturdier zipper.
Just remove the zip tied adapter, and replace it with the Portland adapter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J377P4B/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Great advice!!
I have the exact same problem! Great product but once the bag rips/zipper breaks it is useless.
Same problem as "Portland 3 in 1 becomes 1 in 1", the zipper broke and we haven't had it that long. What a waste of money. Will think real hard the next time I'm tempted to go to Harbor Freight - you get what you pay for!
harbor freights is in the business of selling insurance for tools and doesn't care if you don't buy it and something goes wrong Ill pay more at home depot or loews and be assured they back up their merchandise. Portland tools suck
This is my same exact story almost word for word. My second time to empty the leaf bag and the zipper broke.
Yes, I was very disappointed to find that Portland does not offer replacement parts!!!!! Read the fine print people!
I am looking for a replacement bag for my Portland 3 in 1 blower. Very disappointed that it didn't even last a year.
