I have owned several models of Toro blower vacs. I have only had this unit for a short period of time, so my dependability review is based on the previous units I have owned over the years. I highly recommend this product; especially regarding the performance if vacuuming leaves. The unit is quite powerful for blowing leaves, and I found it significantly more efficient in vacuuming. It is faster and can vacuum leaves the less powerful units struggle with a bit. If you do not want to vacuum leaves, the smaller units have adequate blowing power to blow leaves and debris.

I have owned Toro leaf blowers in the past. They have been very dependable and "hard working".
Was tired of gas blower having to be serviced every spring due to limited use. Opted for the electric and am satisfied with the result. While not the power of the gas powered, it still gets the job done without the maintenance of a gas blower.
Pros: plug it in and go
Cons: not as powerful as gas.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Superb Blower

Just two words: Variable speed! This is a fantastic option and makes this leaf blower one of a kind (not to mention it blows like a hurricane)!
This is the first blower I have ever owned. With the variable speed you can blow off the driveway and then slow it down to blow over bark. This especially helpful when using the vacuum, so you don’t suck in larger pieces of bark.

Big help for loads of leaves

I have had one for the last 2 years. I needed a new bag, but decided just to get another blower vac. I have a problem transferring from blower to vac. I just don't have the strength to make the change easily. Which consists of taking the bag off. I am a woman in my 70's with arthritis in my thumbs, other wise it is very easy for me to use. My grandson has no problem, it is just my problem. I have two 60 yr old oaks, the blower vac is great for the leaves. I use one as a blower and the other as a vacuum.
