The use of the vacuum feature is a bit difficult since the bag when getting full tends to slip off the shoulder and drag on thee ground causing holes in the bottom portion of the bag. We had a previous unit for about 7 years and had the same issues so my wife used some leather material and sewed it on the bottom of the bad to slow the process of deterioration. I expect that we will do the same thing on this newer unit since it is still an issue.
Pros: power of the blower
Cons: weight of the unit, bagging system, electric cord holder will not hold a rubber coated

This blower replaced a 20 year old off brand model that finally died. RIP it was a good unit.
This Toro is so much better I probably should have retired the old one long ago. It moves air and mulches very well. The variable speed dial is a nice feature as long as it holds up. Some consumers have reported problems with these switches. It feels a little heavy during use, perhaps the price to pay for having a metal impeller blade as opposed to plastic.
I dislike handing out rave reviews until a product has been truly tested. Ask me again in a year.

I had one of these previous to this and it was the best blower i had ever found that also picked up leaves. If you look at the cfm that it puts out its more powerful than any gas blower that I looked in to. Problem with the first one was the on/off switch. It broke and the blower was unusable. I liked the performance so much though, i purchased another! The new one seems to have had an upgrade to the switch. Still great at blowing and picking up leaves!
Pros: shreds and picks up leaves and is easy to convert
Cons: corded and on/off switch dependability

TORO DOES IT AGAIN!!!
My two previous blower/vacs/mulchers were both Toros and I had to purchase this one because I wore both of the old ones out. They lasted a total of 12 years (6 years a piece).
I was gifted another blower/vac/mulcher made by another brand by suprise and was highly dissapointed because it couldn't stand up to my two previous Toros. I dealt with it and used it to help with the mounds of leaves this fall and it was more of a hassle than a help, not to mention it took FOREVER to bag up leaves!!!
Anyways, the power and performance of the Toro Ultra Blower Vac (51619) is EXCEPTIONAL!!! It is easy and dare I say, FUN to use!!! The quality is excellent! I ENJOY the cord lock system and the extension cord storage hook! The concentrrator and power inserts are FANTASTIC! I purchased the 2 year Full warranty, great deal!!!!
I haven't got to use the vac/mulching part yet, but I know I won't be dissapointed. :)

My neighbors both have large maple trees which drop an incredible number of leaves each fall. The Ultra Blower Vac makes short work of cleaning up my yard.

I prefer the big gas-powered blowers. I am not a fan of dragging around an extension cord. But then again, I bought this for my wife, and she loves it. The weight is perfect for her and the power is more than enough for all she does. She even uses it to blow out our German Shepherd's undercoat when he sheds, which is continuously. As with every electric blower I have tried, the mulching leaf bagging aspect left much to be desired. But who buys a leaf blower to vacuum and mulch?
I would definitely recommend this product
Pros: power, price, performance
Cons: cord

The over all machine is excellent. Only complaint I have is that the bag for the vac use just doesn't last and I have had to replace the bag zippers on all of them. I live where there is snow and at the beginning of winter when we only get a dusting of snow I use the blower to clear off the sidewalk.
Cons: the zippers on the bag don't last.

Despite my dissatisfaction with 2 prior Toro blower/vacs, I purchased a third, for the weight and general overall quality. The control on each of the prior ones was not satisfactory and I can only hope this one is an improvement.
Pros: weight
Cons: the clip to switch from blow to vac is very stiff
