[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blower is fantastic. It does a very good job of blowing the leaves where you want. The vacuum is a little bit more of a pain to operate because the bag is pretty small.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago. I had one just like it that was maybe 8 years old. My bag zipper had broken and I was desperate to clean up leaves that day. I love the metal blade. Cuts up leaves very well. It is powerful enough to suck up wet leaves. I use my old one now as a blower only now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the 3rd unit we have purchased over the last decade! I REALLY like it - great air velocity; awesome vacuum shredder; easy transition form one tool to another, and relatively light weight unit. We have looked at a lot of other brands and we keep coming back to the "Ultra Leaf Blower". KUDOS to TORO!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the third one of these that I have owned in the last 15 years. They survive absolute torture.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second toro leaf mulcher, if you have lots of leafs in the fall in your yard or property , this leaf mulcher is the best I’ve ever used. It sucks up leaf’s from pin oaks to sycamore tree leaves (very large) and shreds them down to small pieces. I usually use the bag to collect shredded leafs and put on our compost pile. Usually I try to mulch as many leafs with the lawn mower back into the turf. But due to windy days, leafs tend to collect around our fence and landscaping. This Toro leaf mulcher just sucks them right up n shreds them with the metal fan blade. I watch my Nieghbors spend hour raking leafs n piles, then bag them to go to the dump. Waste of time n money and great free fertilizer for your lawn. Plus the blower also does a great job of blowing leaf’s off our sidewalks, porches and driveway. This is a must buy if you want to make short work of getting leaf’s from collecting on your lawn or property.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You read good reviews You read bad reviews
Maybe someone buys an occasional defective product.
Anyone who is in the market for a leaf blower and vac, read my review and proceed accordingly.
I am in no way related to Toro or in the industry at all. It is riduclous that not 1 video about this blower or any blower vac for that matter, shows a person trying to vac up a large pile of leaves.
Every video review or add shows someone vacuuming a few leaves on their driveway.
Also forget battery operated. They vacuums are not stong enough and your leaves clog up the tubes.
Also forget plastic propellers. Metal only. Like the jaws of life.
1. Toro 51619 Major power both as a blower and as a vac. I'm talking professional power both blowing and vac.. 2. Great wonderful diameter opening to the vac tube. 3. Large enough bag; easy on and off 4. Jaws of life metal propeller 5. I have 1 acre. Get a 100ft extension cord. 150ft if you can find one.
If I was CEO of Toro, the only change I would make is:
1. Vacuum tube should be just a bit shorter. I'm 5'9" and I just about clear the ground. 2. I would like the release mechanism of the vac tube (back to a blower) to be a bit more seamless. A little struggle.
