I bought this blower last year. Worked great last season,but this year after 15 min.it started to give off a strong burning electric smell. I shut it off and checked to see if it was jammed,nothing.I let it sit for awhile thinking it overheated.turned it back on, nothing.I paid a lot for this blower and I expected years of use. Very disappointed.And yes I tried the reset;still nothing.
Bought 51619 last year. Used it 3 maybe 4 times. Picked it up this year and it just does not come on, after 1 year. It still looks new, but just flat out want work. Very disappointed.
Fourth Toro product I've owned and the first one that has quite honestly let me down. Makes a lot of noise and moves grass clippings and dry leaves - sort of. Seems a lot of air comes out the bottom to the degree I believed I had assembled it wrong (didn't). Says it's moving 250MPH but I don't believe it.
Pros: adjustable air flow, easy to handle, simple to use
This electric blower has held up well so far. It replaces a gas powered blower that I had for 10 years. The Toro is easy to use and with the nozzle attachments it has more power, more cubic feet per minute and more velocity than the old gas powered blower. The old gas blower was messy and required much more maintenance than the electric Toro. I’m very pleased with this Toro blower. I have not got a chance to use the vacuum attachment so I can’t give that part a rating.
this blower does a average job and does not move wet leaves well. worked ok the first leaf season but second season the air speed adjustment doesn't work and only blows at a medium speed and will not turn off unless you unplug it. i will be getting a gas powered backpack blower with more power
Pros: lightweight, price
Cons: dependability, blowing power, cheaply made materials
First blower vac had strong electrical smell after second usage [15 minutes total time]. Returned to store for replacement, too early to tell with new one.
