Bag issues
on March 15, 2025
Posted by: Jfn7
from Lady Lake, Fl
It has good power; unfortunately the bag to collect vacuumed leaves does not stay in place. It falls off and does not fit properly. As a blower it works well; as a vacuum it is not good with the user having to hold the bag in place so that it does not fall off from the machine's exhaust port.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wimpy, and stay away if you have acorns.

Have had it a few years and don’t care much for it. The blower part to me is very underpowered. I’m getting a much more cfm unit instead. To do anything I gotta hunch down to the ground. The vacuum is okay? Besides that if you have acorns just don’t bother.

Very poor quality
on May 16, 2025
Posted by: Dan0
I bought my first toro blower about five years ago. It lasted about three years. Then what I am sure was the rheostat on off switch went out. I liked the blower so I didn't learn the lesson and I bought another one. I used it about ten min. last fall to blow saw dust out of my shop, and then twenty min. again this spring (a few days ago) to vac a few leaves I missed with my Stil gas blower last fall. Thats it 30 min. total.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Toro bag zipper is crap! Plastic crap!
on November 7, 2025
Posted by: EMTuron
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum and blower work great.. it’s the vacuum bag zipper that stinks!! Replaced several times and the zipper breaks after 3 uses… Tired of pinning the bag together in a pinch… GET A BETTER DESIGN OR BETTER QUALITY ZIPPER!!!!
For the money, the zipper should last more than 3 uses!!!

Poor Blower Bag Quality
on November 14, 2025
Posted by: MunkMan
from Madison, NJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Toro Model #51619. I am guessing I have purchased at least 8 over many years.
But, I have never made it thru an entire leaf season without the bag developing a hole and / or the
zipper breaking. I slowly zip and unzip the zipper but, ultimately I have a problem.

Great improvements over the previous model.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This purchase was to replace my old Toro, which I really likes. The newer, updated model is even better. The metal blades is a huge improvement over the plastic one and the variable speed switch is also a nice upgrade. I use my Toro Ultra alot, and it holds up year after year.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The reviews were right after all!
on November 19, 2025

When I read the reviews on this blower some years ago, I saw that the infinite speed switch was subject to failure. Because it was so powerful, though, I decided to buy it anyway, and just plugged and unplugged it instead of using the switch. Over the last few months though, I got lazy and decided I was maybe being overcautious so started using the switch to obtain variable speeds. Sure enough, yesterday I switched the thing off, then back on again only to abrupt, complete silence. No smoke, no clicks, no hums, no sparks, just silence, dead as a rock. So this AM I went into it and bypassed the switch. Now it works, only it just has full power with no speed adjustment, and the plug is my only on/off mechanism. I wonder if Toro has ever fixed their switch problem.
