Tools and Hardware Reviews of Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599
Customer Review: Great overall, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this model back in the spring to vacuum leaves that came down late fall/early winter in one of our flower beds. My old electric Toro model had served me well, but had lost considerable mulching and vacuuming power. The new model did a great job--the extra power and the metal blade (great idea!) made the job much easier. I have also been using it this fall as a leaf blower and vac. My only complaint, and it almost led me to take another star off of the rating (three instead of four) is that WHOEVER thought it was a good idea to put the zipper on the vacuum bag on the side rather than the bottom was an idiot. If you are dumping the mulched leaves into a paper leaf bag, as I do, it's nearly impossible to completely fill the bag without making a mess. My old Toro leaf vac had the zipper on the bottom, which made emptying the bag a breeze. Whoever thought that putting it on the side was an improvement must not use the product.Customer Review: Neighbors envy owner's pride!

This review is for Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum with Metal Impeller Item #51599
As most of the reviewers on Amazon have already shared their opinion on this product, I am just going to say "They are all correct" This Variable Speed Electric Blower is indeed a very nice product.
Having a electric blower/Vac which starts instantly when the neighbor has the Gas type and seeing him having difficulty to start that rusty old thing gives me a great deal of confidence in the product.
PROS:
[+] The 12 Amp motor is powerful enough for any kind of job that needs a blower.
[+] Plastic construction makes this blower light weight but still feels solid to hold.
[+] Uses Electricity and makes less pollution to the environment
[+] Included accessories make this purchase worthwhile for its price.
[+] The Metal Impeller is impressive for mulching job
CONS:
[-] For gathering larger leaves and debris the suction power at times is not adequate
[-] As the collection bag gets filled the suction power decreases.
[-] The collection bag dangling on your shoulder
[-] This unit does not come with an included extension cord.
The power of Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower is unbeatable, I demonstrated this to my daughter by creating a "Magic Flying carpet" - Yes it is that powerful blowing action that it can displace a carpet off the ground by few inches! Easily!
This is indeed a good buy, the sheer number of reviewers with 5 STAR rating is a clear indication of the quality of the product. Buy it with confidence, I am sure it will last long enough to prove it's price tag of $70.
Customer Review: A fantastic blower vacuum!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic product. I purchased this unit back in April/2008 for $70.00 on Amazon. What a unit. I cannot say one negative thing about it.I have a typical suburban yard(about 1/3 acre with a few trees dropping leaves in the fall).
In the spring and summer, as a blower this unit has no peer. Although it is corded, that is a very minor inconvenience compared to the sterling performance as a blower that this unit is capable of.
In the fall, as a vacuum and mulcher it is great! When used properly, almost never clogs and even if it does clog, it self clears after 10-20 seconds.
If you purchase this unit and use it according to instructions, you will do nothing but smile with regard to price, performance and reliability.

Customer Review: LOTS of Power
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is "WOW!" After reading about this blower/vacuum in Consumer Reports, and how well it worked, I decided to purchase it. I searched all over the internet, but found that Amazon's "amazing" price of just under $70 was unbeatable. That included free shipping. My blower/vac arrived the next day. Lucky me! Anyhow, It has PLENTY of power. Matter of fact, it has more power than the gas powered backpack blower I had, which pleasantly surprised me. I used the Toro to clean my gutters, and blow and vacuum my leaves, and it did all 3 jobs easily. Again, I'm "blown away" with the amount of power it has. The only "inconvenience" is having to pull an extension cord around with it, but you can solve that by buying the longest extension cord you can find. You can't go wrong purchasing this blower/vacuum. The price is right, and it works well. I wish I could rate it 6 stars instead of 5!
