This blower works perfect for me. I used a gas powered blower for many years until I developed arthritis in my shoulder. Pulling the cord was painful. My new Toro works perfect. Just plug it in and I have a high speed blower I can use year round.
Hopefully, this replacement is as good as our last Toro blower!

This was bought to replace our ancient Toro electric blower that gave up the ghost after 15 years!
I like the metal impeller on this one and the multi speed dial. Today, I went out and blew the leaves in our back yard with it and it performed very well.
I gave high ratings due to the experience with our old Toro blower and how this new one has performed.
The suction tube clog easily. It is gaudy and difficult to hold comfortably and maneuver. The only plus really is that it pulverizes the leaves into fine particles making it efficient to really fill your yard waste bags. Lesson learned, I am loyal to Toro being that I own a Toro mower and a Toro trimmer but now wish I had purchased a different leaf blower/vac.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Replaced my old Toro yard vac/blower this year after several years of use. Dependable and reliable are "watchwords" I'd use to describe this piece of property maintenance equipment. The new model (purchased this year) is much quieter than the previous model and that's an added PLUS.
I gave it average rating on the ease of use because it could hang better, or the handle moved back a little to fit in your hand. It should also come with a nozzle that turns up so your blowing staight at the pile of leaves and not just down.
No more mixing gas and oil, gas fumes in the garage, and pulling the starter cord till your arm falls off. (I don't miss my old gas blower.) Yes, you do have to deal with an electrical cord around bushes, but make sure you fasten the cord so it don't unplug, and you can deal with it. The variable speed knob works great for controlling the air volume when blowing out the garage. There is plenty of air speed and volume for blowing the leaves and twigs from the flower beds and bushes around the house. If you have an acre to clean up that is a long way from an electrical outlet, then I would think about a gas machine, but for what I'm doing, this machine is perfect.
