I wanted a leaf blower/vacuum that would make it easier to do fall clean up. This item was recommended by a friend and I am very pleased that I purchased it. It is powerful and easy to use. I like the adjustable speed. As a senior citizen I like the ease of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Toro Blower Vac. I mostly use it to vacuum and shred maple leaves. It does a good job picking up leaves and tearing them into smaller pieces, but raking is faster. The main advantage over raking is that it reduces the volume of the leaves to about a third which makes composting them or disposing them much easier. Based on my experience with my first blower, I would not expect it to last more than a couple of years.
Pros: reduces leaf volume, shredded leaves compost well, best of electric blower/vacs
Cons: questionable reliability

Absolutely fantastic leaf managment

Fantastic value that is very well designed and a pleasure to use.
Blower is *just* powerful enough to do my drive, deck and the garden. Slightly longer job that my big heavy noisy gas backpack - but so convenient with this light, quiet-ish, electric, hand held tool.
My 5 year old grandson tried it out (heavily supervised for 2 minutes) and could do the job if I let him (which I wont).
THEN I turned it to the leaf compressor and it sucked up all my piles and neatly bagged them. Fanatastic.
Design makes switching really quick and easy.
For the flower beds and edges I didnt even bother blowing - just sucked them all up.
I havent had it long enough to determine reliability but if it fails I would replace it at this price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I've only used the new Ultra blower/vac a couple of times. I has performed far beyond my expectations. Switching between blower and vac operations is far easier that on my previous blower/vac. Today, I vacuumed a yard full of leaves and I just couldn't believe how fine it ground them. Even emptying the bag is so easier. I am much more than pleased with this product!
Pros: ease of use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace my 20+ year old Toro blower/vac that finally stopped working. Very powerful motor and very convenient to switch from blowing to mulching.
I wish the blower tube was a bit longer so I could reach my gutters with it like I could with the old one. The old one also had an adjustable nozzle on the end so it could be pointed up, down, or sideways slightly.
I also don't like having to take the whole blower tube off to insert the different nozzles, it would be much more convenient if they could be attached from the outside.
All in all though I'm very pleased with it performance wise. I hope it lasts as long as my old one did.

Pros: very powerful, fairly light weight and easy to handle, easy to switch from blower to vac
Cons: blower tube could be longer, an adjustable nozzle would be more convenient, should be able to insert nozzles from the outside

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second of this particular leaf blower / vacuum I have owned. The first unit lasted about 2 years, then the safety switch began failing, keeping the device from starting. After resolving this issue, the blower/vac lasted about another season then the motor gave out. I used it for household leaf blowing so it really did not get used in an environment it wasn’t designed for. The rotary speed selector would have been better designed as a variable-speed trigger. The blowing power is pretty decent, as is the vacuum. Leaves need to be very dry in order to keep from clogging the vacuum tube. Being of short stature (5’ - 6”j I find the vacuum tube to be just a little long to vacuum comfortably. For a taller person, this would not be an issue. The bag strap also is too long for a short person. I’ve had to take my strap in a little to make the bag sit properly.
Overall, I am pleased with this blower/vac but I have only had it since Sept 2017.
