Toro 51619 Ultra Electric Blower Vac, 250 mph, Red

This works perfectly. Just what I was looking for. The vacuum and blower work great. It is a little heavy but quality made product usually are.

Every year, I get tons of leaves in my yard, and it always falls on me to clean them up/remove them. However, I also have a job that I work at. so, I didn't have time to use a regular leaf-blower to blow them into a pile, and manually collect them. nor did I really want to pay a contractor to do that, when I have the energy. So, I bought this, specifically for the mulching feature, and it works to perfection for what I need. while it's a bit heavy, it's nothing overbearing. it's got 2 handles to hold it, and you can hold it in either manner. the level at which it slices up leaves means you can have tons filtered into a bag. any issues with the mulching feature I've had, have been complete user error. I pulled up a ton of wet leaves, and while it *CAN* suck them up, it doesn't mean you should. it clogged the area where the leaves are shot into the baggy, and I had to get my hands dirty to yank them out. that being said, if you are going to buy this, invest in buying a couple of extra bags. The bag it comes with, is fine and sturdy. however, if you're doing a *lot* of leaf mulching/collecting, as I usually do every spring, I've found it's easier to just swap out a full bag for an empty one and keep going, rather than empty out the bag and start over. thankfully, there are some knockoff versions that perfectly fit the blower, for like 15-20 bucks.

Might as well call this an electric hurricane. I've had a Craftsman leaf blower for years, but I wanted to get a leaf blower/vacuum combo, so I borrowed the Toro 51619 from a friend and tried it out. What used to take me about 1.5 hours to blow all the leaves in my front yard into one pile took me about 20 minutes! The power of this blower is outstanding and it is surprisingly more quiet than my old blower. I don't use any of the concentrators on the end of the blower, as I haven't found a need for it, but I do like the ability to drop the air speed down in order to corral the leaves on my front porch. Here's a list of my pros and cons after using it for both blowing and vacuuming this past fall. Pros: - Very impressive air speed which loosens up even moist leaves - Relatively quiet for a high powered blower - Built in cord lock so that it doesnt pull out of the socket - Mulching the leaves while vacuuming is a huge space saver. (used five 35 gallon bags instead of typical 8-10 bags) - Variable speed comes in handy in tight areas - Long handle allows for gripping in multiple spots Cons: - Biggest drawback is the attachment between the vacuum bag and the blower. Because the air pressure builds in the bag, it causes air and debris to blow through the attachment point directly up towards my face. I had to resort to wrapping it with tape to block the air. - Detaching the vacuum bag and emptying it is a cumbersome task. Especially if you're processing a large pile of leaves. I ended up getting the WORX WA4054.2 LeafPro trash can accessory so that I could mulch leaves directly into a large yard bag instead of constantly emptying the included vacuum bag. - For some reason the connection between the vacuum tube and the bottom of my blower seams to wiggle loose somewhat frequently and it causes the safety mechanism to turn off the blower while I'm vacuuming. Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase as it has made leaf maintenance in my yard much more manageable in the fall.

My review is based solely on performance and not durability as I just received it and have only used it today. I cannot say how long this blower/vac will last, but I can tell you it appears very well-mad and I bought it to replace a much older version that was all plastic. This model has a metal toothed wheel in the housing that is far superior to previous models. And you can tell in performance. I had previously switched to a 2-cycle blower and just used the Toro vac on my old model because I have a long driveway, large yard and lots of trees. But the maintenance and waste factor of the gas blower, frankly, was getting old and the performance was unreliable. So I decided to try out the new Toro blower/vac 250, buy some extension cords and alleviate the need to mix and store gas/oil and deal with fumes. Wish I had done it sooner. The power in this blower is AMAZING---it even blew mushrooms out of the ground around an old tree! You don't even need top speed to clear a driveway or sidewalk in minutes. I also love that you can power down to do flower beds to avoid tearing up mulch yet still take those surface leaves away. Overall, it easily took me half the time to clear my yard and of leaves because there was no need to stop and refuel or restart due to stalls. Love the power setting, the lightweight handle of the equipment and the fact that it takes no time to switch to the vacuum to pick up debris and leaves. I dump the mulched leaves right into my composter and I'm done. Cleanup and storage are a breeze. I also found this made blowing out gutters and rooftops also quicker and less hassle. The power will literally blow your mind. I can honestly say it does a far better job than my gas model did. I had my older version for at least fifteen years but that blower was not anywhere near as powerful as this one, though the vac was okay. This 250 speed, however, is a real game changer. No more cleaning carburetors and mixing gas for me.

an excellent product- durable and effective.

Todo es muy buena y tiene bastante potencia Quiero pedir una disculpa ya que anteriormente les había mandado una opinión diferente les había mandado decir qué el producto no servía pero la culpa era mía ya que no había leído bien las instrucciones. Pero funciona perfectamente Gracias

Genial el aparato, recoge las hojas sin problema ! de Inmediato ! lo recomiendo muchisimo !!!

Easily the best handheld , corded electric blower vac combo. Metal impeller chops up leaves and twigs easily and the suction shute is easy to handle. In blower mode it works great with variable speed as needed. Only a backpack blower is more powerful ,

Received the Unit missing 2 nozzels. Contacted Toro and they immediately mailed me the 2 from the U.S. Excellent Service. They stepped right up to the plate. I would have had to send the entire Unit back to Amazon just for those 2 small parts which would have been a real pain as Amazon will not send out missing parts. I am currently using the Unit to clear new fallen snow off my upper deck and it works fantastic as long as the snow is soft and not wet. Just don't let the snow get to deep. Lots of power and i think as good as any gas powered unit. Excellent product and would recommend.
