Toro 51599 Ultra 12 amp Variable-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum with Metal Impeller Reviews
More Picture
Let me start by saying this Leaf Blower actually has the power to slightly push back my 3.5 year old son. (Yes this was done in a safe environment where nothing could fly in his face)On a more serious note, the blower has a control dial so if you want less power you can taper it down. The dial is at your fingertips the entire time so lowering the level is not an issue. br /Another positive is the blower is very light so there is no worries of back or shoulder strain. This blower also has the ability to vacuum up the leaves and mulch them in a single shot.br / There are a few negatives though. The first being to change the blower to a vacuum/mulch machine you need to change the attachment which is a bit of a pain only because the button is difficult to press; other than that changing the device is easy. The only other negative is the bag it comes with is small. I know it says mulches 16 back down to 1 but trust me buy the longer hose and the larger container and save yourself the hassle of emptying the bag every two minutes. I have not does this myself yet but I will be doing so very soon. br /br /Positives:br /- Blows leaves extremely well. br /- Very Litebr /- Vacuums and mulches br /br /Negatives:br /- A small pain to change the attachmentsbr /- Small bagbr /

A variable speed 12 Amp motor lets you select from an infinite variety of speeds between 112 mph and 235 mph. This means that you can use low speeds to clear off hard surfaces and clean up tight areas without making a mess and without sacrificing the blower's high-speed functionality. pbAir Speed and Air Volume to Get Yard Jobs Done/bbr Unlike some manufacturers, who simply reduce the size of their blower nozzles to achieve higher air speed ratings without increasing the practical value of their tools, Toro gives this blower vac the ability to balance between air speed (measured in mph) and air volume (measured in cfm) to ensure maximum power and performance. This Ultra blower vac offers air speeds up to 235 mph and air volume up to 255 cfm, allowing you to move a substantial volume of leaves and debris with ease. pb3-in-1 Versatility Makes Managing Tasks Easy/bbr A convenient quick-release latch lets you convert your blower into a vacuum in seconds without any tools, while a metal impeller makes it easy to mulch debris. p The magnesium serrated metal blades on the impeller shred leaves and other unwanted debris into a fine mulch that you can use around your lawn and garden, saving money and recycling important nutrients. It also makes it easy to dispose of unwanted yard waste, since the impeller can reduce 16 bags’ worth of leaves to one bag. pbClean and Efficient with Electric Power/bbr Compared with gas blowers, electric blowers are quieter, more eco-friendly, and require less maintenance. They start up instantly without requiring you to master a finicky pull cord. There's no messy gas-oil mixture to worry about, and you don't have to contend with noxious fumes to get a job done. p This high-powered blower also weighs in at a very manageable 7.5 pounds, making it easy on your back. p This blower/vac is backed by a full two-year warranty. pbWhat's in the Box/bbr Power unit, blower tubes, vac tubes, vac bag, and operators manual. br clear="all"table align=center width=150 cellpadding=20trtdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q4_2008/toro_B000H1Y4EK-ls.jpg" border=0brbrspan class="caption"centerEven a large yard is easy to clean up with this blower./center/span/td/tr/tablebr clear="all"

Great blower! - Beverly - Oregon
This blower replaced the first Toro we had and used for many years. I think this one is even more powerful than our other one. They do such a good job blowing leaves and debris off the driveway and even the roof. We are super satisfied with this workhorse of a blower!
Great With One Exception - J. Johnson - Columbia, SC
Very powerful, works great with one exception- the bag (where it connections with the black plastic part that slips in and out of the blower), leaks fine dust around where the bag connects. I tightened the black ring as tight as I could, then wrapped a nylon string around it three times and tied this off-this helped somewhat. The bag should fit tighter without moving, that's my only complaint because overall it grinds leaves, twigs etc. very well and is more powerful than I had predicted. I do like it better than my previous Black Decker unit, overall. I use this primarily as a leaf mulcher- vacuum and use the older Black Decker as my blower now, this works out great for me... I do recommend this, with the word of caution regarding the bag connection.
