Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599

The Ultra Leaf Blower worked great. I never used the mulcher feature before, but found it very useful. Works great in gardens.

I PURCHASED THIS ITEM FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: TO CLEAN THE GUTTERS OF LEAVES ON A COUPLE OF HOMES, TO BLOW AWAY ANY GRASS, LEAVES WHEN I GO TO SEAL THE DRIVEWAY AND TO BLOW LEAVES AWAY FROM THE YARD. IT WORKS WELL FOR ALL THE JOBS. IT HAS POWER, NO GAS AND OIL PREP, EASY FOR ME TO HANDLE. DRAW BACK IS THE ELECTRIC CORD BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL. I LIKE IT, GLAD I BOUGHT IT. I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.

I used this product for a total of 1 hour and then it stopped working. Nothing more to say except buyer beware. When it did work it provided a reasonable level of air flow but dragging the cord was a bit of a problem.

I HATE RAKING LEAVES. I HAVE A HUGE YARD SO I WAS LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT "PARTNER" TO GET THE JOB DONE. I AM MORE THAN PLEASED WITH THE BLOWER ASPECT OF THE TORO. IT IS EASY TO HANDLE AND HAS TREMENDOUS POWER. I AM VERY IMPRESSED. I WILL NOT BE USING THE VACUUM AS MUCH AS I HOPED THOUGH. IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO VACUUM ALL THE LEAVES I HAVE. I DO PLAN TO USE IT TO PICK UP SMALL QUANTITIES LIKE BEHIND SHRUBS, OFF THE SIDEWALK, THINGS LIKE THAT. THE BAG ISN'T USER FRIENDLY AS FAR AS DUMPING IT. YOU MUST UNZIP IT FROM THE SIDE, WHICH IS VERY AWKWARD WHEN TRANSFER THE MULCHED LEAVES TO A BAG OR TRASH CAN. THE UNIT DOES CHOP THE LEAVES AS IT STATES, IT JUST TAKES A LONG TIME FOR HUGE PILES. THIS IS VERY WOMAN USER FRIENDLY AND USER FRIENDLY FOR THOSE WITH WEAK WRISTS. YOU'RE NOT FORCED TO HOLD WITH ONE HAND. THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO GRASP IT. I JUST RECOMMENDED IT TO MY MOM AND I RECOMMEND IT TO YOU.

This is a great little blower/vacuum. It is very light for how much power it has. The metal impeller devoured pine cones without a problem. The variable speed does come in handy for when you don't want to blow things too far and make a mess.
