[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love mine it does an awesome job, the old I have is a toro power sweep it’s probably 12 years old and it still works, I just wanted a more power one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for about a month. Purchased mainly to vacuum up the live oak leaves in the front yard this Spring. I have used it twice so far each time for about 1.5 hours straight. So far it has done a good job vacuuming live oak leaves which are like magnets stuck to the ground. I already had an electric Toro leaf blower so I don't need to swap between blower and vacuum configurations on this one unit...I just unplug and swap devices. I gave it 4 stars because the collection bag when carried over my shoulders using the strap would sometimes "kink" behind where the bag connects to the blower choking off the bag which backs up the whole system. I can't imagine how that issue can be engineered out I just need to be aware that it happens and simple enough to power off and let gravity empty the vacuum tube and me reposition the collection bag.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A real nice machine. It's made my lawn clean up so much faster and easier. Although I bought it to use as a blower I did try the mulching part. If you only vac dry leaves it works real nice as a mulcher.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really expected this item to make my lawn care much easier and it hasn’t lived up to my expectations. Just doesn’t vacuum as well as I want it to
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great blower/vac combo with a bottom opening zippered bag for easy emptying. I like the metal impeller on the Toro, a real plus. Replaced my previous Troy blower/vac that had a plastic impeller that slowly disintegrated over time. Does a great job shredding the leaves for composting. All in all it's a great tool.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a little cumbersome and heavier then I expected. I only used it for mulching and it did real well.
The strap holding the bag of my new Toro broke the 3rd time I used it. The bag from my previous Toro lasted 9 years. Huge difference in quality. I hope the motor lasts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used an Ultra Blower Vac for several years. Recently I had to purchase a new one because the old one died. I am very happy with the Vac features, especially the mulching feature. Thirty un-mulched 55 gal bags equals 15 mulched bags. There was nothing on the market with the Ultra Blower Vac features when I purchased the first one. It was a no-brainer to purchase a replacement Ultra Blower Vac. I also recently purchased a cordless Toro blower. I am happy with it too. The Ultra Blower Vac is now retained to just mulching which it does very well.
