Well, to reiterate what I said 4 long years ago,
"I have the RDX 800i & it's worked ok for me for years. The cross bar on mine is bent upwards in the middle, although I can't say whether that's how it was when I bought it. As you say, the bag sticks up into the cage when it's empty, but as it fills with chippings the bag drops down. I give it a shake, or a kick, after I've switched it off, & any chippings stuck in the top drop down into the bag. The bag fastening strap is fiddly but you get used to it.
Worth persevering with in my opinion."
It's still going strong but I have now incorporated a cyclone system from Cyclone Central which I can thoroughly recommend.
