Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum #51599

All is good except it is a little heavy. Front nose piece restricts the air flow a little too much. Therefore, I do not use it. Haven't tried the vacuum yet.

Was really pleased out soon it was shipped and it came on the day that was promised.

My Toro leaf blower just died also. It lasted about five seasons, which I'm sure is good. Can they be repaired,or should I just buy a new one?

In place of a lawn, my home is surrounded by decorative white coral. Prior to the Toro Ultra, cleaning the coral from dried leaves, weeds, twigs, dried flower blossoms etc... had been a royal pain: a rake was too slow (like picking up sand one grain at a time) and a broom brushed all the coral around. I now use the "vac" to pick up the dried stuff. I like the speed control (essentially allows you to dial how much suction you want) and the attached fabric bag captures everything (very little dust escapes). In addition, the fabric bag has a zipper running the length of the bag which makes it extremely easy to empty (not like a traditional vacuum cleaner bag), and can be washed when necessary (hand-washing recommended). I don't know about other people but I don't like fussing with gasoline. I can just plug it in and clean my coral "yard" in record time. I think its a GREAT tool at a GREAT price!

I originally thought I would get a gas hand-held blower to supplement my back pack unit. Consumers Reports rated the electrics better than gas-powered, and rated this one the best, so I went with it. After 15 minutes of use I knew my back-pack blower was history! I told my wife it was going away in the next garage sale! This Toro toll is ALL you need. I have 7 Mulberry trees that drop huge leaves ALL the time. The vacuum/mulcher is perfect for routine pick-up, the blower for heavier accunulations. This one of the best things I've purchased in years! I put this thing right up there with my 320,000 mile Toyota pick-up truck!!
