This is the second leaf vacuum I have purchased. The metal impeller is a key feature. Deals with large quantities of fall leaves in an efficient manner. Compacts them nicely for composting.

I had a previous version of this blower, and really liked it. This new model is not only heavier by 4 or 5 pounds, it takes 2 to 3 times longer to do the same area. I am very disappointed with this new model and wish I had tried it before I threw the box away, else I would have sent it back and bought a different brand.
Response from ToroDealer.comBy Customer Care Team, Customer Service, January 11, 2019
I'm sorry to hear you had issues with the weight of the unit. Depending on if you are using it as both a blower and vacuum or just a blower, we do have some lighter options for you. For blower only units we have (model# 51701) that weighs in at 3.85 lbs (with the battery), or for a corded unit (model# 51585) which is 4.7 lbs. If you do use the vacuum feature our lightest blower vac is 6.5 lbs (model# 51617). As for the performance of the blower, we recommend using a 14 gauge extension cord to provide a full stream of power to the motor allowing it to run efficiently. If you are still having performance issues after trying the extension cord, we'd recommend having the unit inspected by an Authorized Service Dealer. You're nearest authorized dealer can be found at (www.Toro.com/Locator). Thank you.

My first toro lasted 10 years.My first issue was excessive tension at the electrical plug,the second ,the variable speed control knob fell off and the last was the motor became very noisey.I used it a lot for blowing grass/leaves from my driveway and eavestroughs and sucking up leaves in the fall.
Pros: the new design where the power cord connects.
Cons: none yet

Bought the Ultra Blower/Vacuum Model No. 51619 two weeks ago and finally used it yesterday. Finished most of the leaves before it stopped working and I found the bolt that holds the impeller on was missing. So I came to this site to try and find a repair part. Otherwise it worked okay with a jam now and then from limb that was too large.
Pros: works like i needed it too mulching.
Cons: it broke the first time i used it.

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.

I would rate this a 5 star, but I always think that there is room for improvement on anything. My wife has used the blower and says that it works fine and has plenty of power. Have not used it as a vacuum at this time.

Compared to other leaf blowers and mulchers on the market, the Toro is a winner. The metal blade does a great job at mulching the leaves. The power dial makes it easy to adjust for picking up leaves in flower beds where there is a bark base without sucking up the bark chips. The bag is larger than others on the market and has a conveniently large zipper for easy dumping. The only challenge is when you have large broad-based leaves that require you occasionally to turn off the blower and clear the suction channels.
