Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum

Posted on December 2nd, 2007 in fall cleanup, lawn garden, leaf blower/vacuum by homeimprovement

I tested out my new Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum today. The findings follow.

the pros

    1 - extremely lightweight and very easy on your back, arms and hands2 - the leaf blower works great - especially good for cleaning off driveways, sidewalks and patios in no time

    3 - a very quick and easy change to a vacuum (less than a minute)

    4 - vacuum works well. Mine stopped working well until I realized that the tube was clogged with leaves, sticks and debris.

    5 - Loud motor noise but not deafening.

    6 - Probably does live up to its 15:1 leaf reduction ratio and thus you go a long time between bag emptying.

    7 - a bargain at $69

    8 - a decent ergonomic design

the cons

    1 - the vacuum is not too good with wet leaves2 - a bit cumbersome when using vacuum because of extension cord and leaf bad

    3 - rake is still handy to pile leaves and then bring in the Toro to vacuum them up
