This blower has great adjustable blower speed. The attachments are very useful for nooks and tight places. Leaf mulching and bag attachment is great also.
Used this blower once in the fall to blow my drive way and it was fine but when I went to use it again to blow around my car, it turned on and then blew out and would not turn back on. For the price I paid and it being a Toro shocked that I get one limited use out of the product. I should have gotten a no brand product it would have lasted longer. I thought the product was good because it advertised a steel motor complete misrepresentation and poorly made.

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 a great electric Blower / Vac. Somewhat heavier than my replaced Toro, but manageable. I am sure the potentiometer will be handy, thought I have not found a use for other that "full blow" The single most misstep I keep experiencing is the cord lock. It does not work as well as my last Toro. Keeps falling out.
Found the vac a big waste of time picking up oak leaves. When back to racking. Blower is heavy for my wife. Has a strong volumn of air when used on sidewalks and driveways.
Pros: strong air volumn
Cons: heavy and vac not worth it.

hank you for your response regarding the Toro Blower/Vacuum. We agree, with the Ultra Blower/Vac's top wind speed of 250mph, sidewalks and driveways will clear with ease. With all this power packed into 8.5 pounds, the vacuum has a suction power of 140 cfm. We recommend reviewing the product video on the Ultra Blower Vac page on how to utilize the vacuum feature. Our "How to Choose a Leaf Blower" article at Toro.com/yardtools can help you find the best fit blower for you!
I just purchased this and used it for the first time today. It works great and seems to have a lot of power. I'm left handed, and it feels a bit awkward when using the vacuum feature. I feel like the bag and strap are designed for right handed people, and so it feels backwards. I bought a house last summer and the yard was about 4" deep in leaves. I've raked for hours on end, so I had a lot of piles to vacuum up. It does great with the leaves, and really condensed them nicely. I'm very happy I bought this, and things will only get better. Now that I can blow the leaves I won't be raking up rocks, sticks and acorns anymore. I only wish the bag didn't feel so awkward on the left side.
