Customer Rating:      Summary: POWERFULLLLLL! Comment: 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!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: toro blower Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Love it! Comment: 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!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Potentially Dangerous Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Toro Super 12 Amp Electric Blower Comment: 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.

With a two-speed motor, the powerful Toro Super 12 Amp electric blower/vacuum delivers up to 230 mph of air speed. Compact and well-balanced, this blower/vacuum is comfortable to use and easy to maneuver. It requires no tools to change from blowing mode to vacuum mode. As a leaf shredder, this tool reduces 10 bags of leaves to one bag. Featuring an exclusive cord-lock system, it holds the power cord firmly in place so the extension cord will never come unplugged from the unit during use.
