Does a good job picking up leaves, However it will not suck up small acorns.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback. We recommend vacuuming only dry leaves and soft items. Hard items such as sticks, rocks, acorns and pine cones will damage the impeller. Do not force the vacuum tube into a pile of debris or hold the tube upright while force feeding debris into the tube. Either action may clog and damage the impeller. If your vacuum starts to vibrate or make abnormal noise, stop it, unplug the cord, and check for cause. You can view this information in your operator's manual and also warranty information at Toro.com/parts.
If you are in need of further assistance, please contact our Customer Care Team at Toro.com/support.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Much more powerful unit. The metal blades shred EVERYTHING! The blower is much better and all of this amounts to less effort on my part. Thanks for the new upgrades!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have heard from others this was a great product and has been around for a while. Also I am a Toro man through and through.

Thank you for rating your Ultra Leaf Blower Vac. If you'd like to provide additional feedback to us about why you feel it deserves only two stars, please feel free to contact customer service by going to Toro.com/Support.
I used the blower vac only a few times and the knob switch quit working. I have to unplug the vac to turn it off. It's under warranty, but the closest authorized service facility is an hour away. Don't have time to make one or more two hour round trips to get it fixed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Ultra leaf blower. The switch on the first one stopped working. I could not turn it off. Had to keep plugging and unplugging the cord to turn on and off. Too much work. I only used it a few months a year. Also, the same thing happened to a friend who had same model. Purchased another one of the same model. It is powerful and I like the 3 speeds. Hope that this one last longer that the first one.
This is my second Toro model 51619. The first had problems with the longer cord and finally the wire broke. The second worked for about 3.5 years and then the switch became non-functional. I used it only for blowing and expected longer service. I tried to activate the switch by pushing the small button on the underside, but that worked for only about a half hour, when the motor stopped again. Toro help desk was not too helpful in resolving the issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
