My Experience with the Toro Leaf Blower/Vacuum
Well fall is here and with it comes a lot of work preparing your garden for winter. This year I set out to try and get a few new tools to make the job a bit easier and faster so I could devote more time to an indoor project of mine. For my yard, one of the most time and work intensive chores is taking care of the millions of leaves that fall or are blown into my yard. I have read about, wondered, and I confess even drooled over one of those nifty leaf blower/vac combination machines that I’ve seen a couple of neighbors with so this year I broke down and got myself one.
After checking prices and reading a bit, I decided to purchased the Toro 51599 Ultra 12 amp Variable-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum with Metal Impeller from Amazon which saved me about $20.
This Toro leaf blower /vacuum is AWESOME! It has saved me so much time and honestly it worked much better than I thought it would. I went with an electric leaf blower model because I felt more comfortable with it and I personally can’t stand gas fumes following me around while I work. Shipping was great, I received it in 3 days and once I opened the package there was very little to do to get the Toro leaf blower vac ready to go. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease at which I wielded it; it’s pretty lightweight (maybe 10 lb) and is nicely balanced. I went to work using the leaf blower function to free leaves from around the edges of my yard where they hang on undergrowth and pile up and then switched to the leaf vacuum mode to suction them up, mulch them, and empty into bags. After I got the hang of using it, a job that prior to owning this leaf blower vac took several hours (with help) took me about 1 hour to complete! Enough said.. go and get yourself a Toro leaf blower; you will save on time, work and begging (for helpers)! Buy @ Amazon
