I had a gas backpack blower that went bad. It had a peak speed of 185 mph. Upon checking the internet I found the ultra blower vac and could not believe the rated speed of 260 mph. Removes debris completely out of my drive way. Also clears the lawn of clippings. Anxious to see how it performs in the fall.
It was easy to assemble out of the box and simple to operated. The blower has powerful action, and I was really Suprise with the vacuum quality. I highly recommend this product to the public; the cost is affordable.
I got this model because of the vacuum/mulching feature to clean up the leaves that collect on the front porch where blowing them isn't practical It does a great job getting the leaves out of flower beds to. I have only used it as a vacuum couple times for about total of 1 1/2 hours works great only thing I can find wrong is it is a little on the heavy side especially when the bag gets full and it will hold a lot. I also like the variable speed control knob better than a trigger control, If you have areas that collects leaves where a blower doesn't work well like window wells, flower beds ect. this will do the job, has lots of suction at higher speeds. I haven't used it on blower mode as I have a cordless blower for that before I got this. Wish it were battery powered but I just use it around the house so cord works ok for me. I would buy it again if I need to.
It's as similar to my old Weedeater as I could find

It seems odd that this one says it has 250 mph speed at full speed but doesn't seem still as powerful as my old 195 mph. (different brand) I need electric corded for the weight of Blower since I am a woman with some shoulder issues. I don't know that I will use the vac part, I never did on the old one but need more powerful blower for pine needles to blow off screen enclosure. This one does. Getting use to the variable speed. Other blower had slow and high switch which again because I was accustomed to I liked better but I'm happy with the purchase and hope it last as long as my old one did. Motor didn't wear out, I dropped it. This seems like the same kind of plastic so be careful.
I had high hopes for this due to the metal impeller but after several uses it's absolutely useless now. Leaves are constantly getting stuck in the tube before reaching the shredder. Doesnt matter if they're dry or wet. Couple leaves at a time or a handful. They get stuck and I have to keep turning it off to clean the clog.

Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry to hear you are having issues with the leaves getting stuck in the tube. We recommend vacuuming only dry leaves and soft items. Do not force the vacuum tube into a pile of debris or hold the tube upright while force feeding debris into the tube. Either action may clog and damage the impeller. If you find that these tips do not help, your machine has a 2 year warranty that protects against all manufacturing defects. You can contact an Authorized Service Dealer at Toro.com/locator. A dealer can inspect, repair and/or replace your machine if necessary.
