A company that has been around since I was a child, my Dad used to have Toro products he used for yard upkeep. I have bought a few products in the past couple of decades, and all performed to expectations or better, while maintaining reasonable pricing.
Why change? My first Toro Blower/vac lasted 12 years, and only required replacement because the power cord pulled out of the housing. The new design on the current model eliminates this as an issue. The Toro has plenty of air velocity as a blower for my needs, and the vac/leaf shredder makes leafing in the flower & shrub beds a one step solution. Plus, the price was right!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far works fine... not sure it has the same power as my 15 year old one??? Wish I could have just bought the blower, as I never use the vacuum attachments....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had mine for over 10 years, don't use it for the vacuum aspect but man, she blows HARD! Ive had gas models and other electrics but none of them put out the power of this one. I've dropped it and broken off the handle, and it'll give you a workout, but it does the job!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to vacuum up the endless leaves falling from my Florida oak. It does a great job of picking up the leaves and it leaves the small acorns behind to sweep up. I was worried it would be too heavy but it is fine to carry around. Glad I made this purchase, it saves a lot of time and raking leaves when it is usually breezy outside.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an older version given tome and it finally quit. So I decided to replace it with this model. This model has more power and is easier to change from blower to vacuum. Since it is winter where I live I have only used it to blow snow off my driveway I can't say much about that aspect. But it does have a steel impeller that should last much longer than the old model's plastic impeller. I am sure it will work better than the older model for vacuuming leaves. I use one lawn bag when I vacuum leaves where I would use at least 4 or 5 if I just scooped the leaves up and put them in a lawn bag. It shreds the leaves quite fine so they have less volume and saves lawn bags.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Toro Ultra Blower Vac is the best on the market. I have tried 5 other brands and they just don't have the power that toro has.
