i used the vacuum function to do Spring yard cleanup. Leaves in corners, etc, were vacuumed up and shredded. I spread the mulch around my plants. I’m a 70 year old woman and the blower was a little heavy, but manageable. I was able to assemble it with no problem.
Purchased this to replace a worn out blower vac (another brand) because it offered the same features. The quality is significantly better and the performance is far superior.
This is a very easy to use and has excellent power. I particularly like the variable blower speed.
I bought a second Toro electric blower as first one has performed so well for many years. I needed a second for another house and no reason to look for another one based on performance of the first one.

The unit has a plastic clip where the bottom inlet cover locks into place. This broke on my first unit and I had to tape it together. Was hoping for improvement. Also the Adjustable speed switch broke on my previous unit and replacements are not available, which is poor. Even with all of this the metal impellar and the adjustable speed is what won me over again. This will be my last try.
Pros: adustable speed
Cons: unavailablity of parts
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used product for two years, this year the on/off dail broke in the on position. I noticed in the years before that it seemed a little flimsy but ignored it because the leaves needed to be cleared. Now I'm stuck with a broken machine. The parts are not that easy to attach and especially to detach but do stay in place once they are attached. The bag is small and fits ackwardly. Will not purchase again if it has the flimsy switch. Don't have money to waste.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
