Blower performs as advertised and does a great job with my leaves and pollen. Owned for about a month , so can't comment on durability yet. Would like to see this blower quality applied to a non corded model that offers flexability.
This is the best blower vac I have ever owned. The blowing power is amazing. Vacuuming is excellent. Very light weight and easy to switch from blower to vac. Highly recommended AAAAA++
Pros: blowing power, light weight, east to switch from blower to vac

Great blower but hard to assemble

I love the blower and didn't even realize when I purchased it that it had a vacuum option also-which is a great feature! The only problem I had was trying to assemble it. Finally my neighbor did it for me so all is good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blower vac performs well in either mode. I have two and a half complaints regarding this unit. First, the bag that comes with the unit is cheap and developed a hole after only about three uses. I tried as much as possible to use the shoulder strap to keep it from dragging on the ground, but ergonomically that is a challenge. I have in fact already ordered one replacement bag, and I suspect it will not be the last one I have to order. Second, the plastic tab that locks the attachments in place is cheap; mine shows significant wear after just a few changes. Finally, my half-complaint concerns overall ergonomics. This unit is large and heavy in part because of the high quality metal impeller. Unfortunately, that makes it hard to maneuver unless you are tall and strong. Overall, I am pleased with the unit because it vacuums better than I expected, mulching masses of leaves without any problem.
...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.
This is a replacement for a Weedeater blower. I should have replaced the old blower years ago. The Toro is ergonomic, it is acceptably light weight, and it does the job intended. The accessories are a plus. The Toro has cut my cleanup time in half.
