The motor stopped working while performing a basic function.

The motor totally stopped as I was using it as a blower to clear out the leaves from the eavestroughs. It was only the second time the blower/vacuum had been used.
The motor displayed the slowing down as it weakened and then totally stopped. Reconnecting the electrical cord had absolutely no effect and it could not be opened up for any inspection or maintenance.
Pros: none
Cons: poor reliability
Response from Toro.comBy Toro, January 14, 2020
To extend your motor life, please use a 100ft extension cord that has a 14 gauge or lower. If a higher gauge (less heavy-duty) cord is used the motor begins to “over-work” and may over-heat and/or lose power. Your unit has a two-year warranty for repairs/replacements. You can contact us at 1-888-384-9939 for help with the warranty process. Thank you.

This blower/vac is a good deal for an homeowner; it has enough power to blow leaves out of flower beds, and the vac has enough power to easily pick up leaves on a hard surface. It doesn't do well on pulling leaves out of shrubbery, but I can vac my gutter in no time at all. Best of all, it mulches leaves and small twigs very well.
This is the second Toro blower/vac that I have purchased - after several years of use, the first one got to where it wouldn't turn off at the switch - I had to unplug it to get it to stop. Even so, I purchased another Toro because it gives great performance.

This my second Toro electric blower, the first lasting 18 years until the electric plug studs burned off. My new model is a little heavier, but is a little more powerful in wind speed. Even though it is a higher speed, it is quieter. I like the way the plug is now separate from the blower body on a short extension cord.
Pros: quiet

Unfortunately we didn’t move and purchase this blower/vac until mid November. That being the case I was facing wet leaves when cleaning up the mess the previous owner left us. I realize no vac is recommended for wet leaves but this unit was a trooper. Yes I occasionally had to stop and clean it out but I’ve never owned one that helped me get the job done like this one did!
Looking forward to using it as intended (with dry leaves).
