[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quite powerful.The location of the knob on top is much easier to access than a switch underneath
Just bought it so do not know how dependable it will be. Two minor issues for me - am a woman - it is a bit heavy after a while handling it and the cord has a tendency to get loose. No matter what I tried it always ends up disconnecting.

Pros: position of the knob
Cons: never know which side of the plug goes in

We agree! The Ultra, along side with the Ultra Plus are the most powerful out of our blower/vac product lineup. This blower/vac has a blower speed of 250 mph and vacuum cfm of 410. All this power, comes with the weight of 8.9 lbs. Please keep in mind, we do have lighter options within our blower/vac product selection at Toro.com/yardtools. When operating any of our electric blower/vac we recommend using the cord lock feature to ensure the cord does not unplug easily, during use. We also recommend checking out our awesome help center video "Tips to Using Blower Vacs and String Trimmers" (Toro.com/support) in regards to demonstrating how to use the cord lock feature. Have questions? Our customer care team is happy to assist at 888-384-9939 (US) or 800-544-5364 (CA).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always raked, swept and physically picked up leaves.
After purchasing my very first leaf blower, I am so pleased that I
decided on a Toro. My Ultra blower vac has surpassed all my gardening needs and expectations. My Toro makes work easy and prevents backaches.
I enjoy telling my friends about my Toro product.

Hello,
Greatest thing when I first bought it and since then it has burnt out the rheostat control for the motor speed. I got online expecting I could buy parts for this unit, but found out that Toro considered it to be a liability because of user electrical repairs. Toro does not sell any electrical parts to repair this unit. Instead I by-passed the rheostat and accompanying resistor and used the plug as the "switch". Certainly not recommended, but only alternative other than buying a whole new unit. This worked very well up until the other week I noticed a slow down in rpm's and a burning smell coming out of the unit. Pulled the plug to stop the unit. Tried pressing the circuit breaker and it operated while the circuit breaker was depressed. . This tells me that either the circuit breaker was bad or the windings were bad. I do not have a mega reader to check. Please do not do anything unless you have top notch electrical skills thus accept your own responsibility.

Pros: blew like a hurricane!
Cons: burnt out rheostat after about a year

It is true, Toro does not recommend replacing electrical components in our blowers. Why? The replacement of single parts (i.e. brushes, springs) tends to be short-termed due to existing wear on the armature shaft and for our customer's safety we do not provide replacement parts for electrical components to avoid electrical hazards that may result during the repair process. Also, the cost of replacement electrical components or a replacement motor outweighs the cost of a new unit. Please keep in mind, we have backed your Ultra blower/vac with a two-year Toro warranty to protect you against manufacturing defects (starting as of the purchase date), in which we stand behind 100%. Great, but how do I obtain warranty? Simply contact our customer care team at 888-384-9939 (US) or 800-544-5364 (CA). We're here to help!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i have owned at least a dozen of this model. only two have lasted a month or two past two years. the speed dial malfunctions or the motor burns out. in the last three years i have found a new flaw. the leaf bags leak around the neck and they get holes in them much more quickly. i am constantly sewing them to fix the holes. the leak around the neck is a lack of quality control. i should not have to sew them to tighten the seal when they are new out of the box.

works great but doesn't last. mine is only a couple of years old and quit working. tiny little spring that provides tension for the carbon brushes in the motor broke. not a replacement part so mine is now headed for the trash bin.

Glad to hear your Ultra blower/vac provided great results. Due to our customers safety being a priority, we do not have replacement motor or electrical component parts because of the hazards accompanied with electrical repairs. The cost of a replacement motor often out weighs the cost of a new machine. Please keep in mind, we back your blower/vac with a two-year Toro warranty to protect you against manufacturing defects (starting as of the purchase date). For warranty or product questions, we recommend contacting our customer care team at 888-384-9939 (US) or 800-544-5364 (CA).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blower vac appears to be made very well. The method of attaching the blower nozzle and vacuum tube seems solid and durable. There is good range of air speed and volume. The only concern is the weight of the unit which is more than some similar units.
Pros: well made, quality parts, versatile
Cons: heavy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use features and changes from blower to vacuum in about a minute. Lightweight, but powerful. Received at Christmas and have only used it a couple of times, but so far I am impressed with the product. If it holds up over time, rating would change to a 5 overall.
Pros: easy to empty mulch bag
