 Great Blower - not great vac The blower function of the Toro Ultra is great (though don't use it around mulch!!!) The vac feature doesn't suck (but that's not a complement). You have to get right over the leaves/debris that you are trying to get rid of, and they have to be pretty lightweight (i.e leaves from hedge clippings are sometimes a bit too much). It works; it's just not nearly as good as the blower function, which is quite powerful and less noisy than the gas blower that I have. Overall a very good purchase (though I wish it were cordless).  Lightweight and powerful! Having just moved into a house with extensive landscaping and more trees than we're accustomed to, this tool will be a godsend. So far it's 225mph blower has been perfect for cleaning out the garage without sweeping and the vacuum has been great even for dried grass clipping on the street and driveway. Nothing like this is whisper-quiet, but it is quieter than gas models. I am anxious for the leaves to start falling and put it to its full potential! Toro Ultra Blower My order was shipped free super saver shipping. It took about five days to be shipped, but once shipped it arrived in 22 hours. I have used this blower to blow grass clippings, leaves, acorns, and twigs. I also use it to clean off my riding mower, this saves a lot of time. The blower does its job. It has the power to get the job done. I haven't used the vacuum yet. The blower is easy to use, but you have to get used to using an extention cord. So far, I am very happy with my purchase. Toro Ultra is great! I purchased the Ultra to replace a gas powered blower, that went bad. The convenience of only having to plug it in and go is great. Pulling around a cord and having to wind it back up are the only down falls of this blower. I really like the adjustable speed control, it works so smoothly, I can control the speed with one finger! I have yet to use the vacumn and bag feature, and don't know if I ever will. DL, Grand Blanc, Mi. | |||||||||
