This product is so easy to use! Putting it together was a breeze and using it is so simple! I have only used the vacuum and love it! As I get older I want to find and use items to make my life easier and for sure this is one of them. Would highly recommend this product.
This blower replaced the TORO blower that I used for 30 years. It works great and is much quitter that the previous model. I like the variable speed settings that allow me to adjust for less power when I blow the dirt out of my garage!
1st purchased April 2015 - rheostat switch went bad Jan 2019, called for replacement parts because could not shut it off. The motor still worked fine. They do not make replacement parts for the rheostat switch. Purchased a new one Jan 26, 2019. March 1st motor started making funny noises. Returned and got a new one free of charge.
Only gave a 3 star rating but if they made replacement parts for the rheostat switch would have given a 5 star rating.
The blower works like no other blowers in the market

It gets the job done. I mostly use it for blowing leaf and cleaning up the driveway. I never really used the vac feature of the blower. And I mostly use it at the highest possible speed. My first Toro blower died on me after I started using the vac feature more often. Despite this I again bought the Toro. My older blower still looks like new as I always kept it nice and clean. It's light weight, less noisy, and most importantly powerful. In my wish list. I want more power to move the pine needles, pine cones, helicopters from maple tree from my yard. I wish it is more reliable. Starting to loose my confidence after having a good clean blower died on me.
Have lots of live oak trees and they do drop the leaves! Oh yes and they do drop acorns by the thousands! Bought this to blow them out of the yard and it works great! The yard had not been taken care of for a few years so the amount of leaves and acorns were mind blowing. This item made it much easier to remove them and to give you and idea of how much there was we bagged up 30 yes 30 30 gallon bags!
I use this blower year around, cleaning leaves in the fall, light snows in the winter, cleaning the garage, etc., etc. I get my money's worth out of these blowers. They are the best on the market, BUT, they only last for about two years with heavy use. I've owned eight of them and it seems like clockwork that after two years of heavy use the motors stop working. I would like to see them put a better motor in these units as they work great, till they die.
...it works great except it is heavy for me as a woman and it hurt my shoulder the heavier the bag became. Also, emptying the back was hard on my back. I think there should be better and faster suction, but it got the job done.
I wish i had gotten the model with wheels so i could just push it versus trying to hold the equipment and feel the heavy weight of the bag as it fills.
It works well it's just a slow process, which may be reasonable considering I did not have to rake and pick it all up, but it is heavy for me.
