Strong air flow to move the debris away. Just a little heavier to carry around than then the one I replaced. Should do well.
Pros: adjustable air flow, price
Cons: weight, needs a 90 elbow
I would recommend this to a friend!

To date I have only used the blower function. Love the variable speed control. Makes cleaning leaves and grass out of the garage easy without blowing other items out. Works great at cleaning the side walk after edging. Simple and easy to convert to vacuum.
Pros: variable speed contrl

Very much like the fact that it mulches leaves as it vacuums, which is great for the brown part of my composer. Bag is light on shoulder and easy to connect and empty. Very pleased with my purchase.

Sparks & smoke

I purchased one of these and the adapter kit to convert it to a blower to clean gutters. I used it today. The vac/blower & adapter to blow out gutters was hard for me to assemble because my hands are small (5’3” woman). I got it assembled & blew leaves out of my gutters. It worked good but was really heavy and awkward. It blew with such force that I had to keep turning it off to move it down the stretch if gutters as it would blow its tubes right out of the gutters. I the converted it to a vac after attaching the leaf collection bag. The bag was so long ( the shortest the shoulder strap would allow) that the bag was a couple inches off the ground. The extension tube attached to suck up leaves was so long that it was very very awkward. The whole thing was heavy. BUT THE WORST part was that it started to smell of plastic when it was running, in a few minutes it started to spark at the plugin ( a nice exterior extension cord was used), THEN it started to smoke at the plugin of the VAC!

A great device, with one very minor flaw

I bought this unit to replace a 25 year old unit that I had from another manufacturer. Based on the prior unit, I knew that this time I wanted a metal impeller (the old one was plastic). And I wanted a unit that had the hood that fits on a trash can. Finally, the way the tubes and hoses attach, they simply can not come loose and fall off -- which was problem as my old unit aged out. So all in all, this is a great unit. The one very minor flaw in the new Toro Ultra Blower Vac is the two-piece suction tube. I realize it comes in two pieces so that it can fit into a smaller shipping box. However, on the second use, the tab that holds the two pieces together broker off. So I have simply duct-taped the two pieces together, and will not take it apart until I am done with the leaves this fall. Between now and then, the unit does not get put away in the box.
Pros: metal impeller, hood for garbage can, small sack for small cleanup
Cons: weak tab on suction tube
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad speed control.

The speed control never did have fine control, but skipped from one speed to the next. Now I cannot get full speed from the blower with the setting on high. It acts as if there is a bad potentiometer for an input to the solid state speed control. Very disappointing!
Pros: was powerfull when working correctly
Cons: heavy
