Seems like a great product - relatively inexpensive, powerful, lighter than gas models, can blow or vac, mulches when in vac mode, environment friendly etc.
Not so great in practice for the following reasons:
* Can blow at modest speed fairly quietly but loud whine at full speed --> need hearing protection

I am so glad not to have to use gas and deal with cord pulling and fumes and gas and oil etc. This Toro just needs a turn of a knob and you are off getting up the leaves. Fast, fun,clean and effective. The only drawback is the cord which limits ... Read More

Excellent buy. Amazing power, variable speed. Ergonomic design. Traded a Craftsman gas for this great product. Happy ... so is my wife, who prefers to drag a cord rather than fire up a noisy smelly gas engine
