I have used this Ultra blower/vac this fall on my yard. Maple, Oak, Birch and Chinese Elm leaves. First off, this blower has real power to move leaves, wet or dry. The variable speed operates smoothly for delicate flower bed areas. Conversion to vac is easy. The bottom zipper leaf bag detaches for quick drops and seems to be of good quality. I have about 8 hours of use on the machine now. My yard is about an 1/2 acre in size and I use a recommended 14 gauge extension. The best feature of this Toro is the leaf vac. It really does an ice job of mulching the leaves down to a compost form. This thing will eat leaves with gusto, clogging is hard to do. Great value, nice tool. Buy it.
Only had it a few weeks .Seems ok. Quieter than my old Toro blower. If it lasts as long as the old one I will be happy.Sorry that I can't pickup and blow at the same time as my old one would do.that is the only complaint so far.
We were looking for a product to minimize our leaf removal effort. This product did just that! During one of our leaf removal times, I was able to reduce what would have normally required approximately 5 bags of leaves into 1 bag without as much raking, bending and packing as it would have required otherwise. The only difficulty that I have experienced is handling and maneuvering the bag on the vacuum. Otherwise, this is a great product and I recommend it to anyone who wants to make their job easier. The blower is very easy to use for "sweeping" up debris before using the vacuum.
I had a battery operated leaf blower before that only lasted about 7 minutes and then it had to be recharged which I found very annoying. This blower is medium weight, powerful and last for as long as I need it. It was a great price and just what I wanted.
This Ultra Blower Vac is strong enough to blow or vacuum leaves.

This product is strong enough to blower away the leaves that are wedged between rocks. It also is strong enough to vacuum up the leaves if I wanted to do that.
Used product for two years, this year the on/off dail broke in the on position. I noticed in the years before that it seemed a little flimsy but ignored it because the leaves needed to be cleared. Now I'm stuck with a broken machine. The parts are not that easy to attach and especially to detach but do stay in place once they are attached. The bag is small and fits ackwardly. Will not purchase again if it has the flimsy switch. Don't have money to waste.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
