Good, powerful machine. However, very awkward to use because electrical plug is located in front of the machine rather than in the rear. Constantly pushing the power cord out of the way while moving forward.
Great product, I have bought and used 4 of these machines. I was glad to see the metal impeller added to the product, it makes it a lot easier to pick up larger items, in the yard.
The speed control never did have fine control, but skipped from one speed to the next. Now I cannot get full speed from the blower with the setting on high. It acts as if there is a bad potentiometer for an input to the solid state speed control. Very disappointing!
Pros: was powerfull when working correctly
Cons: heavy

We apologize for your negative experience. The Ultra Blower/Vacuum is backed by Toro under a 2 year warranty. If you reach out to our customer care at 888-384-9939 we would be happy to further assist you.
This blower\vac has the power I need for around the house duties. I like the metal impeller, as my previous b\v had a plastic one. One area that could use attention are the accessories, there is no convenient way to keep all the parts close by for a quick transition from blower to vac. Also, are the connection points durable enough to withstand reasonable rough usage?
This blower has great adjustable blower speed. The attachments are very useful for nooks and tight places. Leaf mulching and bag attachment is great also.
Used this blower once in the fall to blow my drive way and it was fine but when I went to use it again to blow around my car, it turned on and then blew out and would not turn back on. For the price I paid and it being a Toro shocked that I get one limited use out of the product. I should have gotten a no brand product it would have lasted longer. I thought the product was good because it advertised a steel motor complete misrepresentation and poorly made.

Blower performs as advertised and does a great job with my leaves and pollen. Owned for about a month , so can't comment on durability yet. Would like to see this blower quality applied to a non corded model that offers flexability.
