I found that it works very good but for me it is a little heavy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used this primarily to vacuum leaves and am pleased with the way it works. Really shreds the leaves into small pieces (of course the leaves are dry). Like the bottom opening bag (don't have to take it off my shoulder). The cord plugs in on the front side which means I have to keep the extension cord over my shoulder or I step on it (only negative so far).
Pros: bottom-opening bag
Cons: cord plug-in on front can cause you to step on ext

Plug and play. Hey! Starts first time, every time. Quickly clean out garage floor, driveway, yard. No more gas blowers for me.

This product does everything it is advertised to do.

I had the similar Toro product as this one for many years and I think I just wore it out. I decided to purchase the model above and have no regrets. The extra power is a plus and like the first one the new one is both very dependable and easy to use and convert between blower and vacuum.
Pros: extra power
Cons: maybe the weight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Blows fine. Very poor mulching ability.

This model is much of a disappointment versus my older cheaper Toro model it replaced. One of the main uses for me is for mulching up leaves and for this, it does a very poor job since it plugs very easily. My older model had a plastic impeller with fins of different lengths with some having serrated teeth. This one has a metal blade but the fins are all the same length and perfectly smooth. I believe this is the main reason it plugs so easily. This is particular bad for the sections of my lawn where there is treea that drops those seeds that are little spikey balls. My older version would digest those fine. This one plugs ever 15 seconds since all it needs is a 5-6 of those to completely plug it up since for this model, they won't go through. Since these are so intermixed with the leaves, it's impossible not to pick these up. This one is going to Goodwill and I'm going to buy another blower/mulcher of another brand.
Pros: blowing
Cons: mulching
Response from Toro.comBy Customer Care Team, Customer Service, February 13, 2019
We're sorry to hear you had issues with the blower/vac. The vacuum is designed to handle dry leaves and soft objects and does a great job mulching them up before it reaches the bag. Per the manual though, "Vacuum only leaves and soft items. Hard items such as sticks, rocks, acorns, and pine cones will damage the impeller." To find a copy of the manual you can go to (www.Toro.com/Manuals). Thank you.

This has a lot of power but so heavy it won't be able to be lifted to blow out gutters. They changed the nozzle so you can't easily attach hoses as well. Poor engineering.
Pros: powerful
Cons: too heavy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For the most part this is a good blower/vac. It's heavier then I would like which makes extended use tiring. The cord keeper doesn't work all that well. One side of the loop keeps pulling out so I ended up using a Velcro tie to keep the two sides together.
Then there's the plastic snaps used to keep the fan guard on and the other attachments. There are very hard to push in the release the components, at least for me. I only switch from one function to the other as little as possible.
