Tackle big clean-up jobs the right way with this powerful blower vac. A variable speed 12 Amp motor lets you select from an infinite variety of speeds between 112 mph and 235 mph. This means that you can use low speeds to clear off hard surfaces and clean up tight areas without making a mess and without sacrificing the blower's high-speed functionality. Air Speed and Air Volume to Get Yard Jobs Done
Unlike some manufacturers, who simply reduce the size of their blower nozzles to achieve higher air speed ratings without increasing the practical value of their tools, Toro gives this blower vac the ability to balance between air speed (measured in mph) and air volume (measured in cfm) to ensure maximum power and performance. This Ultra blower vac offers air speeds up to 235 mph and air volume up to 255 cfm, allowing you to move a substantial volume of leaves and debris with ease. 3-in-1 Versatility Makes Managing Tasks Easy
A convenient quick-release latch lets you convert your blower into a vacuum in seconds without any tools, while a metal impeller makes it easy to mulch debris. The magnesium serrated metal blades on the impeller shred leaves and other unwanted debris into a fine mulch that you can use around your lawn and garden, saving money and recycling important nutrients. It also makes it easy to dispose of unwanted yard waste, since the impeller can reduce 16 bags’ worth of leaves to one bag. Clean and Efficient with Electric Power
Compared with gas blowers, electric blowers are quieter, more eco-friendly, and require less maintenance. They start up instantly without requiring you to master a finicky pull cord. There's no messy gas-oil mixture to worry about, and you don't have to contend with noxious fumes to get a job done. This high-powered blower also weighs in at a very manageable 7.5 pounds, making it easy on your back. This blower/vac is backed by a full two-year warranty. What's in the Box

 Blow is just an expression, it don't suck for shi!!!! December 3, 2008
After ten or so years of using both gas and electric blower/vacs, I can say it is the worst designed vacum I have ever tried to use. You can not make a good vacum by just turning a blower upside down, removing various parts that will get lost, and sticking a big cumbersom bag on it. If you really want a well designed blower/vac, try to find the Yardman model. It truely is a blower/vac that well designed and converts just by the flip of a lever.
 Works as well as I expected December 2, 2008
As a blower it works very well - lots of power to move even accumulated piles of leaves. As a vacuum, it also works well and does a good job of chopping the leaves - carrying the bag on ones shoulder is a little awkward but worth getting used to for those areas where you have to get between lots of shrubs and other spots that are hard to rake or blow.
Does the job December 2, 2008
Well built. Blows and vacs at tremendous speeds, but dialable with infinite variable control. The metal impeller crunches up leaves as designed and advertised. I'd suggest staying with dry leaves, but that's really just common sense.
 Best of the three I've owned December 1, 2008
I've owned three blower/vacs (Two were black and decker) and this is clearly the most powerful and best at mulching leaves. The others had hard plastic teeth and this one has metal ones. Like all the electric powered ones I've used, it is best on dry material, but the Toro did handle the damp leaves better than my other leaf vacs (fewer clogs, leaves chopped up better).
My main reasons for not giving 5 stars are these two:
1) Many of the electric yard tools I've used have some way to secure the cord so that it physically cannot unplug itself. This would be useful.
2) Though I can't say any have been terribly comfortable, I've yet to find a way to hold the vacuum and bag that is very comfortable. The end that exhausts into the bag tends to kink if I hold the bag in a way that is most comfortable.
Toro Electric Leaf Blower November 30, 2008
I love the Toro Leaf Blower. It is light, easy to handle, and works great. I highly recommend this product.
