Pros:
Powerful sucking and blowing
Built very well with strong plastic components
Mulching blade is thick, mulches branches too
Used half the amount bags, mulches well
Light enough to hold or use a good shoulder strap, handles are well placed
Saved my back, no bending or raking
Easy to use, and troubleshoot
Simple to go from vac to blower
If there is a clog, easy to snap apart and back together
Saved me time
Cons:
Occasionally leaves get stuck in suction tube
I typically have 12 bags of leaves but with this I only had 6 bags. I have a herniated disc so tradition technique of bagging leaves is painful and stressful for me. With this until I did not have to bend over or kneel down. It took me 2 hours to vac/bag, would usually take me 4+ hours. Like any tool there is a learning curve and technique. I found that I would suck some leaves and do a circle motion to help them get started down the tube. It's not a constant flow for leaves, they come through in clumps. Mulches wet leaves pretty good too!! I was skeptical but had high hopes and I am very pleased.
Will update review after more uses.

the mulching feature can even shred big magnolia seeds in the south. impressive.
how to use mulcher and vacuum. easiest way.
rake or blow leaves into pile.
lay 5600 on ground. attach bag and open zipper about a foot.
lay trash can or crate on side to catch shredded leaves after they shred and shoot out.
turn unit on. and rake leaves into suction hole.
rake leaves into container and spread around garden or wherever you want mulch.
what power cord to use.
25ft - 16 guage / 3
50ft - 14 guage / 3
100ft - 12 guage / 3
these guage power cords will not stress your machine and cause it to die prematurely

I have a large yard with a TON of Maple trees and every year it is a full day of raking, bagging & hauling bags street side for my wife and I. Typically our yard requires about 26 large leaf bags (compressed) to get it all cleaned up.
I received this unit in a couple of days from purchase and put it to work immediately. Assembly was hassle free and aside from verifying a few things in the manual, I was up and running in about 10 minutes. The reviews are generally correct in saying that the blowing part of the procedure, had a shallow learning curve but it is, in fact a small one and this thing packs an amazing amount of power. Wet leaves or dry, it moved everything easily and briskly. I got about 26,000 sq ft, gathered up nicely in about an hour. It should also be stated that this thing beats water or a broom for cleaning driveways, walk ways or decks ANY day. Vacuuming all the leaves out of the various nooks and crannies on our pool deck, was an absolute breeze. I would buy this machine for this reason alone!
The machine did leave me with very very mild ghost vibrations in my hands at first but that was remedied by wearing my rubber coated work gloves. Yes, the machine felt a little heavier than I expected at the end of that hour but I am not so sure that that wouldn't be true of anything that you carry around for an hour and truth be told, it was not at all discouraging.
Switching to leaf vaccum/mulch mode is where I was holding out with my verdict as to whether this was a good buy or not. The switch over of modes is quite painless and it took a steeper learning curve to get the right sweeping action back and forth, than I anticipated, to actually pickup leaves efficiently, you have to take it slow and work the edges of your pile. After 5 minutes or so, I got the hang of it. Despite really good suction, you need to take things slower than in the blower mode, to give it the chance to do it's thing, especially if your leaves are wet.
What's most amazing is the fact that this thing mulches to a really fine consistency and I firmly believe in their 16:1 natural state to mulch ratio claim. Went to the curb with 4 bags. We could have done it with 3 but the darn things were getting heavy, so we spread them out.
The mulch carry bag has a decent length sling strap that works for us taller dudes (I'm 6'2"), it slings well over the shoulder / chest, which is convienent and comfortable. For us taller folks, a telescopic nozzle would be really nice as I find this one could be another 6-8 inches longer to be more comfortable but it is not at all BAD as is.
All in all, I was worried that I might need one of the gas powered blowers for the size and workload of my yard but price and uncertainty about the whole thing, made me go with this unit based on it's reviews. I am super happy that I did. It is super easy to reconfigure, it is easy to operate, it is VERY effective in both the blowing and the vaccum modes. It is also quite a bit quieter than I expected, which is not to say that it is really quiet but it is much better than I thought it would be.
Perhaps there are better designs out there, I don't know, but for the price vs performance and usability of this model, I doubt there are any better values.
I have no regrets with this purchase - at all. In fact, I am really happy with it.
