We were looking for a leaf blower when we found this Toro Ultra blower vac. It's great that you can blow the leaves into a group than vacuum them up and have them mulched into a carry bag. Being only 5'6" tall I'd like to have the ability to shorten or lengthen the vacuum nozzle to suit the height of the user. I find it difficult to use the vacuum feature without it sucking to the ground as I can't keep it up off the ground.
Its a good blower vac. Doesn't work well on wet leaves clogs up. The zipper ripped after the bag got wet and dirt in tracks. Needs to have a heavy duty zipper with coarse teeth. I hope Toro takes care of this or I will have to have new zipper sewn in.
I usually burn my leaves, but with the drought, there's a burn ban. This tool was great! It made good mulch for putting under my Leyland Cypress trees. We won't burn any more, this is faster, and less work. We bought a similar product at a low price tool store, and returned it the next day. For just a few dollars more, we bought this quality product. We've worked it hard, it will hold up.
Very pleased with this Toro. My first lawnmower was a Toro, 40+ years ago and it was a workhorse. I trust the Toro name, and this blower did not disappoint.
Great features in blower and vacuum modes BUT impeller housing gets jammed up with shredded leaves if they are wet. No big deal but a little time consuming to clear out of housing. Yeah, I know I coulda waited until they dried, but a forecasted snow storm (CO weather!) forced a rushed pick up of leaves.
