POWERFULLLLLL! August 11, 2008
GOT THIS FOR MY MOTHER-IN-LAW FOR XMAS B/C SHE COMPLAINS HOW MUCH SWEEPING SHE HAS TO DO DURING THE FALL MONTHS. SUCTION ATTACHMENT WORKS WELL ON PICKING UP AND CRUSHING THE LEAVES. A LITTLE BULKY...BUT GO FIGURE! LOUD...AGAIN, GO FIGURE! ATTACHMENTS ARE EASY TO CHANGE. IF THE BLOWER ATTACHMENT COULD REVERSE TO SUCTION, WOULD MAKE GREAT FOR GETTING INTO THOSE NOOKS AND CRANNIES IN THE YARD!!

Very good product. Does all I expected. One improvement might be a better way to secure the plug-in connection. I am very pleased with the blower and my shopping experience with Amazon.
Love it! July 8, 2008

This is a great blower and fantastic value. My husband laughs at me as I'm so excited to use it! No more sweeping for me :)
I've only used the vacuum once but it worked well. I was careful to try and stay away from the sticks though as other reviews have mentioned that it's not so good with those.
For general cleanup around the yard though, I would recommend it!
 Potentially Dangerous June 20, 2008
Very disappointed with this brand and product quality. My brother-in-law and I both bought this hunk of junk at the local chain home improvement store to take care of leaves in our first homes. With the first use, I was excited because it really seemed to be working great at blowing and tolerable though a little slow at sucking the leaves, and it wasn't too heavy or hard to manage. Despite following all the directions, halfway through the third use, it just stopped working and would never start back up. Oh, and I only have 1, medium-sized tree.
My brother-in-law had better luck, depending on how you look at it. His worked through an entire season but then absurdly and dangerously started throwing sparks - and I mean a lot of sparks - and you could actually see a small electrical fire through the vents. Scary.
Shipping was too high to justify repair, and we didn't trust it to work again for long anyway, so we got rid of ours at a 95% loss after less than a month's use. Although this might suffice for just a blower, I have since heard other horror stories about this brand, and I will not being buying a Toro again.
Toro Super 12 Amp Electric Blower June 13, 2008
This is the second I've owned. They work great as blowers; not too super for vacuuming. The impellers don't do well if there are any rocks or acorns. For just leaves, it may work okay. For a blower, I think it works quite well; especially with the two speeds. I miss the power cord loop that was on the older model.
