CitizenM says "Great Blower/Vac saves time and effort on yardwork." about Toro Leaf Blower and Mulcher

I've owned a few of these combos by various manufacturers over the years, this latest Toro offering is the best one yet. It is lightweight, easy to carry around, easy to convert from blower to vac, powerful enough to blow or mulch even fairly wet leaves and has an adjustable control knob so you won't peel the paint off your house. If you live in an area with a lot of trees then this thing will pay for itself in no time when the leaves start falling. A couple of things to watch for: 1.) Good idea to rake and sift leaves into smaller piles before vacuuming just to make sure you don't suck up any rocks, broken glass or anything that could damage the blades. It should go without saying, but these things are not intended to pulverize big branches, rotting fruit, rawhide chew toys or furry rodents. Smaller piles will also keep from clogging up the vacuum tube. 2.) Be careful where and how you set this thing down because it is just a lightweight plastic body and one good drop on concrete...

thomasr1950 says "I find it hard to belive it's more powerful than a gas." about Toro Leaf Blower and Mulcher

I bought one & used it today. I'd say it's ok but hard to believe it's more powerful than a gas blower. The biggest draw back is no on/off switch, just variable. This is probably more of an inconvience. But in a emergency i would like to have an on/off switch, the variable is ok but a separate on/off i think is a must.

just after two seasons of using it the bag for mulching ripped. We bought ours in seven years go and still use it to blow leafs.Otherwise a very good machine. It is light weight and easy to plug in. Get a long outdooe extension cord and you can use it all over your yard without having to stop and put fuel in....
