The item works very well as a blower. It is easy to maneuver with the blowing attachments. I would give it a rating of 5 as a blower. It becomes somewhat bulky when you attach the vacuum attachments. It is a little challenging to maneuver as a blower and the suction isn't great for leaves. I went over areas more than once to pick up leaves. Also, depending on the area you vacuum in, watch out! The collection bag on the vacuum can kick out a lot of dust. I would rate the vacuum at a 2-3. Once you can actually get some leaves in the bag I think the mulcher does an okay job. I vacuumed leaves on my grass and one think I noted is that this picks up small individual leaves okay but if you try to get larger leaves or even clumps it doesn't not work very well. I had to lay it on its side and hand feed leaves into it. I also tested in my driveway and I discovered I had to hold the bottom of the vacuum level on the concrete in a sweeping motion in order for it to pick up leaves.Read full review

Replaced a TORO m-850 blower that I have had for a while and went out of production in 1994 according to TORO's CSR. I live on a wooded lot, have a driveway 20 x50 and a long curving sidewalk, a porch and large patio. I have many trees, and lot's of stuff that falls off same. I use year round especially in the fall when I use it to pile leaves prior to mulching them with the lawnmower. I have no use for it as a vacuum. PLUS: The power is almost as good as the old blower. Good enough to pile dry leaves 2' to 3' deep The balance is very good, much better than my old blower. I like the molded cord retainer. I had to jury rig with the old blower. CONS: This blower seems louder and the unit seems to run with more vibration than the older model. I wear ear protection for the noise but wonder if the vibration will lead to not last as long as the older unit. Time will tell! Read full review

It works as I expected. Easy to use, even for a person unfamiliar with blowers (like me). Simple, intuitive control. Lots of power - especially on “high” setting. I bought this brand (and paid more $), rather than a competitor’s mostly BECAUSE of the extra CFM rating, and I’m glad I did. Hopefully, it will prove to be reliable and long-lasting.

have a Stihl gas leaf blower but needed a blower with a vac and this was the best value that i could find even though it required an extension cord. have used the vac to remove leaves on top of my pine needle mulch and it did the job plus mulched leaves better than i thought it would since they were wet from the constant rain that we have had. complaints about the bag not holding up was a concern but i have since washed mine and it is in great shape at this moment. will most likely use the electric blower more since we have solar panels and they make more electricity than we use and it is not as loud as the Stilh.

This is the best model of Toro Blower/Vac of the two I have owned previously. All were good but this model has more power and gets the job done faster. Variable speed control makes it easy to adjust power for the type of material being blown or vacuumed. Opening on the bottom of vacuum bag makes dumping of debris easier.
