I bought this bad boy about 10 yrs ago, haven't had to replace the bag yet and it works like the first day I bought it. You don't get any better than that with any product. Thank you Toro for money well spent!
I would recommend this to a friend!

A real review. 20 years of use

Most reviews are people who have maybe a year of use max. I’ve had this product for a little over 20 years. I use it all of the time to clear my external stairway but I also use it to clean my patio and yard every year. This is quite simply, a work horse that will not quit. After all of these years, the bag is the only thing that is showing wear. The metal impeller still crushes leaves, sticks and anything else that gets in the way. The blower/vacuum engine has not slowed even a little bit. I’ve used it to clear drains, yes it does water, and it just keeps going. So, if you are trying to pick a blower/vac that will do the work and lasts forever, this is it. Still trying to figure out how Toro makes money on a product that lasts forever.

The Ultra Blower is a Very Good Product Except for the Bag

I have been using my Ultra Blower for many years and have been quite happy with it except for the bag. (Note: the Ultra Blower has a metal impeller, the Super Blower has a plastic impeller - you don't want a plastic impeller.) Now I have gone through many bags, about one per year, because the zipper fails. If you complain about it, Toro will accuse you of dragging the bag. One other note, if you buy this blower and the bag fails, do not throw it away. You will need its plastic collar for a new bag - Toro seems to have stopped including them with the replacement bags.

Best blower/vacuum for the money

I've had this Toro blower/vacuum for two years now. For the money it has no equal as far as I'm concerned. The steel impeller is a huge plus, don't buy any blower/vacuum without it. The overall durability of this unit is outstanding so far. Should the need arise for parts, Toro's website is hard to beat for quality replacement parts for your unit. This is an easy 5 stars.
Pros: steel impeller

Bought this because we were working with a large amount of leaves and wanted them shredded to use as compost on a garden. We would vacuum and shred. Emptying the bag was pretty easy. Just unzip the bag and shake.
Everything worked well at first. The impeller shredded the leaves into fine pieces. After about 10 bags of leaves, we noticed that it wasn't shredding as well. The more we did, the worse it got, until the leaves were no longer being shredded at all.
Checked everything starting with the impeller, which was fine. We finally figured out that the inlet in the top of the bag had been damaged. It appears that the bag is designed in such a way as to hold the leaves in the impeller area for a period of time to grind them up. Once that part of the bag is damaged, the leaves will just blow into the bag without shredding. If the bag is going to tear that easily, and if that tear affects the shredding ability, this unit is no good for us.

This is surely the best blower/vac on the market in this price range. The metal impeller does a great job of creating mulch from leafs. Easy to convert from vacuum to blower and collection bag is a great size.

I have not used it as a vacuum because I have too many acorns in my yard. The leaf blower is excellent in taking care of my leaf problem! I also like the power adjustment switch, I can turn the power down when blowing out from under my carport! Great blower for the price!
Pros: power
