Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've used this as a blower for about 6 months.
However it is spring now and the yard needs some cleanup. I thought I would use my Toro as a vacuum and mulch some leaves.
It lasted about three minutes before it suddenly started shaking uncontrollably. Inspection showed that one of the fins on the (plastic!) impeller had broken off. It is now useless as a blower as well.
If you have a choice, go for the more expensive version with a magnesium (metal) impeller:
Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum #51599.
I am now ordering a replacement magnesium impeller (SKU TOR-108-8967) from M & D Mower in Ohio for $16.96 (shipping $7.95 to NV).
This is the second time where I have bought the cheaper option of two identical products, and the extra $10 would have saved me a lot of headaches.
If I had to rate this as a blower only, it would get 5 stars, no question.
