Blows Them Away!
By Lawrence M.
Aliquippa, Pennsylvania
Purchased 10/18/2015 |
Review Posted 12/25/2015
This product not only blows away the leaves and other yard debris, but the competition also!
Before making my purchase, I researched several review sites and came away with the knowledge that I would select this model.
I have used other electric leaf blower/vacuums and came away unimpressed with their performance. Not so with this model! It performs as promised and with power to spare.
The attachments are easy to use and the reverse function of blower to vac is quick and easy.

It's not your daddy's snow blower
By Jan V.
Cottonwood Heights, Utah
Purchased 09/08/2015 |
Review Posted 11/10/2015
Why did I wait till the old one broke? Toro learned a lot from the older model I owned. The rotor is made of metal, so you can vacuum up leaves from the bushes without fear a small twig would break it. Yes, I did damage the old one and stopped vacuuming.
The blower air comes out flat (not round like the old one) so it blows over more surface which is what you really need. The smaller attachments allow for higher blowing speeds, while the largest opening will blow leaves off a larger area to finish the job quicker. Finally, there's a continuous rather than the older three speed switch. More power is not always better.

I don't use the vacuum side much. The blower is okay for leaves and drying my just washed car. I was hoping for more speed and volume of air. It's maybe a little better that my old blower that was advertised as 115MPH.

Fantastic

Review Posted 10/16/2015
I used it yesterday for the first time and was very impressed with the power of the blower. The vacuum portion mulches the leaves beautifully. I'm in my late sixties and only five feet tall.
I didn't want to do endless hours of raking leaves and picking them up again this year. This equipment was an excellent purchase and I would highly recommend it to anyone not wanting to have to be bothered with gas operated equipment or manual raking. I would rate this a 10 on a scale of 1 - 10.

Works as advertised

Review Posted 10/13/2015
So far so good on both blower and vacuum functions. Just don't expect it to blow or vacuum up wet leaves that are clinging to a wet wood deck. For that purpose, a wire rake or stiff push broom are better. The vac function turns dry leaves into confetti. Pretty impressive.

Review Posted 06/22/2015
I purchased 2 blowers, one was fine , second one had a bad switch but after 2 trips to a service facility I got a new blower.
A little heavy for the ladies to use I'm afraid.

I purchased this as a gift for my husbands birthday. He loves it. He loves everything about it, especially the power that it has. I love it for the brand and the price. Toro has always been a terrific brand, and I will only purchase Toro.

Toro Ultra Electric Leaf Blower/Vacuum
By Paula H.
Waverly, Georgia
Purchased 04/15/2015 |
Review Posted 05/27/2015
This is a great blower and will handle big jobs. I am a 70-year-old woman with a bad back, and I can't pull or yank on gasoline blowers. I have been using the Toro blowers for 10 years now, and I find them to be excellent and durable - withstanding falls, etc. This blower is a little too heavy for me, however.
If I carry it around for 30-40 minutes, nonstop, I have to quit. I should have purchased the blower a notch under this one, but since I have a small Toro blower, I just switch them around using the same 100' cord when I am tiring. This is working, and I will know better next time.

Toro Ultra Electric Leaf Blower
By Richard L.
Janesville, Wisconsin
Review Posted 05/27/2015
We have owned 3 of these, took one back because it didn't work when unpacked. Product worked great, good blowing, reasonable weight last about 2 years for us. Biggest issue is with switch failure, no replacement part listing. If it hadn't worked so well we wouldn't have bought more.
