Poor Blower Bag Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Toro Model #51619. I am guessing I have purchased at least 8 over many years. But, I have never made it thru an entire leaf season without the bag developing a hole and / or the zipper breaking. I slowly zip and unzip the zipper but, ultimately I have a problem.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum and blower work great.. it’s the vacuum bag zipper that stinks!! Replaced several times and the zipper breaks after 3 uses… Tired of pinning the bag together in a pinch… GET A BETTER DESIGN OR BETTER QUALITY ZIPPER!!!!
For the money, the zipper should last more than 3 uses!!!
I bought my first toro blower about five years ago. It lasted about three years. Then what I am sure was the rheostat on off switch went out. I liked the blower so I didn't learn the lesson and I bought another one. I used it about ten min. last fall to blow saw dust out of my shop, and then twenty min. again this spring (a few days ago) to vac a few leaves I missed with my Stil gas blower last fall. Thats it 30 min. total.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have had it a few years and don’t care much for it. The blower part to me is very underpowered. I’m getting a much more cfm unit instead. To do anything I gotta hunch down to the ground. The vacuum is okay? Besides that if you have acorns just don’t bother.
It has good power; unfortunately the bag to collect vacuumed leaves does not stay in place. It falls off and does not fit properly. As a blower it works well; as a vacuum it is not good with the user having to hold the bag in place so that it does not fall off from the machine's exhaust port.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] used only a few years worked great then it didn't looks like new. used one day to blow leaves then vac two days later wanted to repeat nothing very dissapointing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the blower/vac because of my experience with the Toro brand. I do have a Toro blower that is about 15 years old. My dad's Landscaping company always had Toro equipment.
