[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced older model (?years old!) because switch broke. Ended up replacing switch with toggle on old one to use at lake cabin. Now have 2 great yard tools.
This is my third one in 4 years. Motor burns out as warranty ends. I use the proper extension cord. That said; when it works, it is great compared to its competitors. Hopefully this one will last past warranty.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 of them. One at a house in NC and 2 in MD. I bought a new one for MD since the fan motor was making a noise and would need to be replaced as I thought it might be from sucking up the leaves and grinding them in the bag. I guess over time it can get damaged. So I don't use that option. So I use it primarily to blow leaves in a pile and I rake it up. Amazing power and outdoes battery based machines. Would definitely keep buying it if needed later on
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a while ago when the old toro blower I was using to vacuum leaves with finally died after many years of use. I have always blown the leaves into piles and then suck them up and put them into a barrel that is taken away by our garbage collector. You can get a lot of leaves into a barrel, or a bag, by shredding them this way. I will never be without one and I thought for the money this Toro product was well worth it. I purchased the model that I need an extension cord to run it. I have found that there is too much maintenance with the gas operated models.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and I am happy I did. We are in an established neighborhood with large trees and the leaf vacuum function worked great, as well as the blower function. The Ultra Leaf worked great and took care of he job fast and made my job much easier.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great vacuum/blower. I use it often throughout the year. In the fall it mulches leaves so I can just put them in the trash barrel and don't have to use trash bags. I have many small srones in my yard and fortunately it does not pick them up. It is nice that it has variable speeds. Easy to use and to change from vacuum to blower.
