To date I have only used the blower function. Love the variable speed control. Makes cleaning leaves and grass out of the garage easy without blowing other items out. Works great at cleaning the side walk after edging. Simple and easy to convert to vacuum.
Pros: variable speed contrl
I would recommend this to a friend!

As a first time user , I tried a gas blower vac and found it to be difficult to start, heavy and hard to manage the leaves, but the Toro Ultra electric blower vac made blowing the leaves a pleasure, it's easy to start, lightweight and very easy to manage the volume of leaves that we have to deal with. For any woman considering the purchase, I highly recommend it.

Overall Great Machine

Owned an earlier version of this model for 5 years. Would like to give this new product 5-stars but I can't. The adjuster/power switch was an ever-present problem on the older model (think on/off) and the switch on the new model doesn't inspire confidence that there won't be trouble with it down the road. However, if the adjuster/power switch lasts twice the length of the warranty period before acting up, I'll consider the new Toro Ultra Blower Vac the best machine of it's kind at any price. Until then I think it's 4-star. A powerful electric blower that does a great job for what it's designed to do but may have a tempermental adjuster/power switch.
Pros: it's a vacuum/mulcher too!
Cons: unreliable adjuster/power switch.

Variable speed knob is junk

I have bought a few Toro blowers. I decided to go with the 51619 because of the power and metal blade. The first one started acting up after a few uses with the variable speed knob. It became very touchy and wouldn't stay on or at full power, then it wouldn't shut off unless I unplugged it. I got it replaced and the same thing happened to that one. Neither one lasted a season. There is no warranty for replacements and I imagine it will cost almost as much to fix it than to just buy a new one. I have a degree in the Electrical field and they won't sell me just the part so I can fix it. Anyone with general knowledge of electricity would be able to wire this out. I am very disappointed in this product. I never had any problems with the other models with different switches. I guess I will go buy a generic variable speed switch and custom install it. For now I will bypass it and use the safety switch as my ON/OFF by taking out the cover inlet.
Cons: variable speed knob went out on both units
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought a second Toro electric blower as first one has performed so well for many years. I needed a second for another house and no reason to look for another one based on performance of the first one.
