Toro 235 MPH Electric Ultra Blower/Vac/Shredder —
If you are used to the power of a gasoline blower / vac, you will be pleasantly surprised at this unit. It really generates a powerful air stream both ways.
Because I really liked the first one I bought a couple of years ago, I now own two of these Toro 235 mph Ultra Blower/Vacs. I boought a second one this season so that I can leave one setup as a blower & one as a vac PLUS I now have a second bag allowing me to make fewer trips to the heap.
I love the metal impeller!!! Sometimes thick and relatively stiff objects get pinched between the impeller and the plastic housing. I would really like to see Toro install a circular, serrated or at least scalloped metal chime mounted on the plastic housing in that area where seed pods and other thick objects get pinched causing the motor to stop or poping the mechanism open, shutting off the power. A serrated or scalloped metal chime, even a relatively blunt / dull one, would help cut into the thicker objects sucked into the unit.
BTW, the machine does NOT get 235 mpG - I'd love to get that kind of gas mileage out of anything!! That's a typo; as a blower, it generates air speeds of up to 235 mpH, not 235 mpG. I'm surprised that Sears has not caught & corrected that advertising error.
