Toro 235 MPH Electric Ultra Blower/Vac/Shredder —
This is my 3rd Craftsman leaf blower and have been pleased with all three - except for the bag on this new one. It's obvous they have used the bag from the lower speed (CFM) blowers and the bag doesn't hold up. The blower (vacuum) works excellently. After just a few hours of picking up leaves around our home, the bag wore through where the leaves leave the blower and hit the bag. The hole was over 6 inches long. I sewed in a heavy canvas patch, but it wore through after a dozen or so bags full. Also, although the slide clip used to empty the bag is convenient, it's obvious that this will be the next area to wear out, as the fabric is already wearing through. On an older model, I had a brass zipper installed at a shoe repair shop and it worked great. Sears is giving me a $50 gift certificate to help replace the bag, but the bag costs $75 to replace ($60 for the bag and $15 for shipping). That's as much as I paid for the entire blower.
