I bought this for the vacuum and, to be fair, I’ve never owned or used a blower/vac before. I’ve had it about a month and only used it once. It doesn’t suck up yard debris as fast as I was hoping (even on the highest setting). Also, it’s too heavy for me and cumbersome to operate (cord kept getting stuck). Also, the mulch it makes spews out of the bag at the attachment to the motor and this made more of a mess than it actually cleaned up. :(

Worst product ever! had it for 2 years used it 5 times and now the speed of the motor down and electric sparks comes out of the motor
This product is great for residential yard work, but the zipper on the bag does not last very long. I have had my wife sew a metal zipper on three bags so far.
Ease of use, and does a great job in vacuum mode for leafs and seedlings.

Only problem I have is that the blower and vaccum last much longer than the vacuum bag, which rotted out due to getting wet (and straps broke off), both after ~5 years of use. But good till then.
not powerful enough not happy with item can i return?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am writing this review with an added twist: I'm recently visually impaired.
I purchased this recently so i can do an effective job raking my leaves since I recently became visually i,paired. I needed to find avway to help my wife with this cumbersome chore. I have always done the yarrdwork.
I have a little vision left and had to access the Toro website to use screen reader and listen to the instructions. Kudos to Toro for having ADA compliant PDF'S. The instructions are written succinctly, enough for the likes of me. Iwas able to assemble it very quickly thanks to the instructions and memory of typical products like this that I'veused in the past.
The blower/mulcher exceded my expectations!!! I was most concerned with the impeller jamming up because i can't see what I'm sucking up. The metal impeller was a surprise at this price point. The motor is very powerful. The adjustable speed dial is a great idea.
My wife used a different cordless nlower while I mulched with the Toro. The leaves were mulched enough to reduce the jumber of bags we collected.
My only suggestion is to add a waterproof backpack-type bag for the mulch, as an add-on product, would be outstanding . This would help since I use a cane. I would be willing to pay for the option. Also, a storage bag/case would help since I don't want to use the canvas bag for storage. Keeping all of the parts together is a must for me.
I also recently purchased a cordless powershovel and I am looking forward to using it.
