1st purchased April 2015 - rheostat switch went bad Jan 2019, called for replacement parts because could not shut it off. The motor still worked fine. They do not make replacement parts for the rheostat switch.
Purchased a new one Jan 26, 2019. March 1st motor started making funny noises. Returned and got a new one free of charge.

Only gave a 3 star rating but if they made replacement parts for the rheostat switch would have given a 5 star rating.
Pros: rheostat switch and the power
Cons: no replacement part for the rheostat switch

The blower works like no other blowers in the market

It gets the job done. I mostly use it for blowing leaf and cleaning up the driveway. I never really used the vac feature of the blower. And I mostly use it at the highest possible speed. My first Toro blower died on me after I started using the vac feature more often. Despite this I again bought the Toro. My older blower still looks like new as I always kept it nice and clean. It's light weight, less noisy, and most importantly powerful. In my wish list. I want more power to move the pine needles, pine cones, helicopters from maple tree from my yard. I wish it is more reliable. Starting to loose my confidence after having a good clean blower died on me.
Pros: light weight, less noisy, powerful
Cons: variable speed, vacuum

Have lots of live oak trees and they do drop the leaves! Oh yes and they do drop acorns by the thousands! Bought this to blow them out of the yard and it works great! The yard had not been taken care of for a few years so the amount of leaves and acorns were mind blowing. This item made it much easier to remove them and to give you and idea of how much there was we bagged up 30 yes 30 30 gallon bags!

I use this blower year around, cleaning leaves in the fall, light snows in the winter, cleaning the garage, etc., etc. I get my money's worth out of these blowers. They are the best on the market, BUT, they only last for about two years with heavy use. I've owned eight of them and it seems like clockwork that after two years of heavy use the motors stop working. I would like to see them put a better motor in these units as they work great, till they die.
Pros: ease of use
Cons: longivity

...it works great except it is heavy for me as a woman and it hurt my shoulder the heavier the bag became. Also, emptying the back was hard on my back. I think there should be better and faster suction, but it got the job done.
I wish i had gotten the model with wheels so i could just push it versus trying to hold the equipment and feel the heavy weight of the bag as it fills.
It works well it's just a slow process, which may be reasonable considering I did not have to rake and pick it all up, but it is heavy for me.

Blows fine. Very poor mulching ability.

This model is much of a disappointment versus my older cheaper Toro model it replaced. One of the main uses for me is for mulching up leaves and for this, it does a very poor job since it plugs very easily. My older model had a plastic impeller with fins of different lengths with some having serrated teeth. This one has a metal blade but the fins are all the same length and perfectly smooth. I believe this is the main reason it plugs so easily. This is particular bad for the sections of my lawn where there is treea that drops those seeds that are little spikey balls. My older version would digest those fine. This one plugs ever 15 seconds since all it needs is a 5-6 of those to completely plug it up since for this model, they won't go through. Since these are so intermixed with the leaves, it's impossible not to pick these up. This one is going to Goodwill and I'm going to buy another blower/mulcher of another brand.
Pros: blowing
Cons: mulching
Response from ToroDealer.comBy Customer Care Team, Customer Service, February 13, 2019
We're sorry to hear you had issues with the blower/vac. The vacuum is designed to handle dry leaves and soft objects and does a great job mulching them up before it reaches the bag. Per the manual though, "Vacuum only leaves and soft items. Hard items such as sticks, rocks, acorns, and pine cones will damage the impeller." To find a copy of the manual you can go to (www.Toro.com/Manuals). Thank you.

It can move wet leaves or dry and we have used it four straight hours at a time with no problems. I like it!

I was looking for a vacuum and my daughter found this unit. After researching this product my daughter purchased this as a xmas gift for me. Used it twice and am very satisfied. I have had Toro blower/vac before for many years. This new unit is much quieter than the old unit and has a metal fan blade. Ease of use as a vacuum is a little awkward. Overall I would recommend this product, a great value for the price.
Pros: powerful, quiet
Cons: awkard use as a vac
