With a two-speed motor, the powerful Toro Super 12 Amp electric blower/vacuum delivers up to 230 mph of air speed. Compact and well-balanced, this blower/vacuum is comfortable to use and easy to maneuver. It requires no tools to change from blowing mode to vacuum mode.

Featuring an exclusive cord-lock system, it holds the power cord firmly in place so the extension cord will never come unplugged from the unit during use.

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.

This Unit is very good price and works well. I know many like the ultra because of the metal impellar. I work at a place that sells this unit for 60 dollars, paid 33 at Amazon. The metal impellar is not sharp and will still clog with wet leavers. The plastic impellar is just as good and is designed like last year metal impellear found in Toro 51598 model. I would say save your money and purchase this model

I just purchased this today. Our store had both this item and the 51591 super blower - I think this is simply the newer model. (And I paid slightly less than this price at our neighborhood store so check around)
Anyhow. I went looking for leaf blowers with no idea that these machines could suck as well as blow. Whether or not I will use the sucking feature, I don't know. I just know the Toros were well rated.
I wanted a blower for one reason. We have this tree in our backyard which I refer to as "The Stupid Tree." It drops these little fuzzy brown balls all over our concrete patio. They are impossible to clean up because they escape between the tines of a rake if you try to rake them, and if you try to sweep them with a broom they smoosh and roll right under the broom.
So I bought this blower and went to work maniacally chasing these little brown balls off the patio and into the yard. I am now a happy girl. Not only is my patio clear of fuzzy brown balls but it is also clean of sand that my son likes to dump here and there. Beautiful. I could have swept with a broom for 2 days and not gotten it as clear as this blower did in 10 minutes.
It is light and easy to hold.
The noise level is no worse than an electric weed wacker or lawn mower. (All of our major lawn implements are electric)
My only complaint is I somehow failed to realize the difference between the super and the ultra is, the ultra has a metal shredder. The super has a plastic shredder. I wish I had realized this and gotten the ultra, but oh well. For blowing fuzzy brown balls and sand off my patio, this works just fine.

It blows. AND sucks.
This thing is way better than I though it would be. Build quality is really good, I didn't expect to all be made out of plastic though, fan blades and all. Read more

More than I expected
The Blower/vac was easy to assemble and more powerful than I anticipated. The high power selection really pushes leaves and dust where you want them to go.

First one smoked and croaked after a few minutes' use.
On its second use as a blower, after a total run time of less than a half hour, this gadget smoked and ground to a stinky halt. Read more
