Most Helpful Favorable Review

Bought and used this one today, March 19, 2011. I'm a 5' 7" male, 58 years old, with a lower back herniated disc. Ergonomically, it worked out great for me when I used it to vacuum leaves from my landscaping and from the lawn in my back yard. No lower back pain from leaning forward. I was able to stand...

Most Helpful Critical Review

 I purchased this leaf blower/vac after considerable research and based upon the overwhelmingly favorable customer reviews at ******.com. This was my second Toro leaf blower/vac, having previously owned a Toro "Rake And Vac Superblower" Model 51553.

This new Toro 51599 was a big disappointment :

Toro 235 MPH Electric Ultra Blower/Vac/Shredder Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 47 in total
I have had this product about 3 weeks, I finally got to use it after snow melt (yes in TX) and a huge rain storm. I had raked the leaves, we have 3 Large trees in our front yard and 2 Huge Oaks in our back yard, but our neighbors around us have large trees along our chain link fence, so I get tons of leaves. Usually use at least 25 - 30 bags in a season, getting the leaves off my yard. So the leaves had been raked into small piles. The first day, I vacced 9 bags of leaves the Toro worked great even with the leaves toward the bottom of the pile being wet. I bagged from the side yard and back yard... read full review »

So far the blower is awesome. The shredder is good on leaves, but not on small branches.

Lightweight and easy to handle, even with bag attached when mulching leaves. Powerful for its size. Happy with the overall performance and price.

Does the job with ease...

I bought this Toro and not Craftsman since i had bad experience with my Craftsman lawn mower, it broke within 6 months, so thought would go with toro blower and vac ,i have 3 matured trees in my yard and around 3 from my neigbours yard which almost sheds all their leaves in our yard. So i thought would go and buy this product. It worked well for me this season though it is only this fall i bought. I had to rake all my leaves to one place and this would suck all the leaves the metal impeller does a decent job. And bag is easy to empty out. Only problem was the cable getting disconnected but that...

Great functionality

This blower works great and does everything it claims to.  My only desire is that the bag would be easier to empty.  The mulcher works great on this thing and it is nice to hear that gear chomping up everything!  When using as a blower and turned all the way up you can really feel the power of this machine.

This Toro Blower/Vac/Shredder is very powerful - more than my gasoline one which has a fuel line leak that will be difficult to fix.  I hope that this electric unit  lasts.

The Toro 235 Miles per Hour Blower/Vac is a great Item. However, if you do not desire the Vacuum shredder capability then the metal fan will not be a big selling point. If that is the case then the Craftsman 12amp Electric Blower  item# 07174824000  A/K/A Toro 51592 is just as good and is available at SEARS for $49.99 or the Toro on Amazon.Com for $46 plus free shipping. It is powerful enough for driveway jobs and with some maneuvering lawns too.  I particularly like the variable speed, and it is capable to do leaf vacuuming and mulching. It does clog when picking up piles of leaves and...

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...

Nice product Nov2, 2010

 

I have used the blower only once, very powerful and light wieght. Easy to use. But it doesn't come with an extension cord. Overall, it is a nice product!

Toro Ultra Blower/ Vac Model 51559

This is the best tool to have in the yard.I was thinking of a gas model, but the electric works the best for me.51559 has lots of power on wet leaves and pine needles.Vacuum works great also.I now use it inside the garage floor and walls.Just open the overhead doors and blow!No gas and oil to mix is a plus too.Priced right to.

Great for ladies

I am a small person, therefore I need a light blower. This one is perfect. I love it does not vibrate, easy to turn on and off and adjustable speed.

Great product

We live on a street that has dozens of trees that shed their leaves every time the wind blows, so this was a life saver. The basic blower function is incredible, it gets a lot done on even the lowest power level. The vac function we haven't been that impressed with, but that would have just been a bonus since raking is now a thing of the past, it's easy to just scoop from a pile to bag the leaves. A great choice/purchase!
