[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great blower/vac combo with a bottom opening zippered bag for easy emptying. I like the metal impeller on the Toro, a real plus. Replaced my previous Troy blower/vac that had a plastic impeller that slowly disintegrated over time. Does a great job shredding the leaves for composting. All in all it's a great tool.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really expected this item to make my lawn care much easier and it hasn’t lived up to my expectations. Just doesn’t vacuum as well as I want it to
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A real nice machine. It's made my lawn clean up so much faster and easier. Although I bought it to use as a blower I did try the mulching part. If you only vac dry leaves it works real nice as a mulcher.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for about a month. Purchased mainly to vacuum up the live oak leaves in the front yard this Spring. I have used it twice so far each time for about 1.5 hours straight. So far it has done a good job vacuuming live oak leaves which are like magnets stuck to the ground. I already had an electric Toro leaf blower so I don't need to swap between blower and vacuum configurations on this one unit...I just unplug and swap devices. I gave it 4 stars because the collection bag when carried over my shoulders using the strap would sometimes "kink" behind where the bag connects to the blower choking off the bag which backs up the whole system. I can't imagine how that issue can be engineered out I just need to be aware that it happens and simple enough to power off and let gravity empty the vacuum tube and me reposition the collection bag.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love mine it does an awesome job, the old I have is a toro power sweep it’s probably 12 years old and it still works, I just wanted a more power one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Toro Ultra Blower Vac is the best on the market. I have tried 5 other brands and they just don't have the power that toro has.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an older version given tome and it finally quit. So I decided to replace it with this model. This model has more power and is easier to change from blower to vacuum. Since it is winter where I live I have only used it to blow snow off my driveway I can't say much about that aspect. But it does have a steel impeller that should last much longer than the old model's plastic impeller. I am sure it will work better than the older model for vacuuming leaves. I use one lawn bag when I vacuum leaves where I would use at least 4 or 5 if I just scooped the leaves up and put them in a lawn bag. It shreds the leaves quite fine so they have less volume and saves lawn bags.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to vacuum up the endless leaves falling from my Florida oak. It does a great job of picking up the leaves and it leaves the small acorns behind to sweep up. I was worried it would be too heavy but it is fine to carry around. Glad I made this purchase, it saves a lot of time and raking leaves when it is usually breezy outside.
