[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blower has got some real power. I will also use it for vacuuming and am glad to see an aluminum impeller instead of plastic. It is very easy to switch from blowing to vacuum. The wheels on the vacuum shute are great for sidewalks and driveway. I would rather have a corded blower , vacuum for this type of yard work so this item fits the bill.
I love the Vac. & mulcher it dose a great job but after several uses the zipper on the bag doesn't close all the way anymore and bag has blown open, needs better zipper.
Really enjoyed using the vacuum shredder. Worked great around my deck and fence area .I have a lot of places that I couldn't get with a rake. Made things so much easier.
So far really good. Had a Toro blower/vac for 8 - 9 years and though it is still working, it seems to be losing some of it's power. So I looked at other reviews and purchased the SunJoe. Have used a few times and find it to be more powerful than the Toro was when it was new. Also the switch over between blower and vacuum is easier. The bag works much better than the over the shoulder Toro though it could be a little larger. I would actually rate the SunJoe 4 3/4 stars for that reason. If it lasts as well as the Toro did, I will be one happy customer.
This machine is done great. It does have a difficult time with large leaves, like maples...but I just drag the cone along the ground to grind up the leaf a little and poof, they are gone. Great tool. Love the wheels too.
