Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Toro leaf blower Comment: This blower does a great job of blowing and vacuuming leaves. It has plenty of power and is user friendly. The collection bag is an adequate size. The attachments are simple and easy to use. It was a little more bulky than I thought it might be, but it certainly does the job !! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Leaf Blower Comment: I have a very heavily landscaped yard of 2 acres. I use a TroyBuilt chipper/shredder/vac for most leaf clean-up, but this Toro leaf blower is a great additional asset. I researched leaf blowers heavily and there wasn't a single blower out there, either gas or electric, that had more output than this Toro.
It handles deep leaves with ease and also is quite good with wet leaves. It has two speeds and I often find myself using the slower speed since the higher often is simply too much air -- that's a good recommendation for any leaf blower! It is relatively quiet and the noise it makes is not unpleasant. I don't find it necessary to wear ear protection, unlike with gas powered equipment.
I don't use it as a mulcher often, but it handles that task well for small to medium size areas. The unit is shipped with everything you need for leaf/debris blowing and for mulching/vacuming -- no accessories to buy.
Great product. It does everything claimed and more. Customer Rating: Summary: toro blower Comment: I bought this blower last week and have used it twice and love it! it has great power. works really good. i really like the two speed. The Vac works really good to. and it grinds up the leaves.

Customer Rating: Summary: Great Blower!! Comment: This is a wonderful blower, strong and light at the same time. It's worth the price and I really recommend it. Customer Rating: Summary: RECALL needed : Used 3 times - It went up in smoke...service/repair has been problematic Comment: I had a previous version of this blower for 5 years. Worked great until the impeller broke while mulching. I decided to buy the newer version.
I've only used it 3 times only to do some light blowing of leaves and grass.
The motor began to slow and surge ...then began to smoke and spark. Obviously Toro has a quality control problem with these units.
I've had fits trying to get it repaired. I went to Toro's website and local Ace Hardwares store that are supposed to service it are all saying we can't. Since I bought it from Amazon I just can't march back into the store and demand my money back. Be warned..you will have problems if you buy this unit and it needs repair. I will try another brand next time.
