With air speeds up to 235 mph, and airflow of up to 390 cfm, this electric blower nevertheless is lighter, quieter, and cleaner than similar gas blowers. Featuring a sleek, ergonomic design, it's a tool that is easy to use and will grab your neighbors' attention. Three machines in one: a powerful blower, high-speed vacuum, and leaf shredder (see larger image). Match the Power to the Task for Better ResultsTackle big cleanup jobs the right way with this powerful blower/vac. A variable speed 12 amp motor lets you select from an infinite variety of speeds between 112 mph and 235 mph. This means that you can use low speeds to clear off hard surfaces and clean up tight areas without making a mess and without sacrificing the blower's high-speed functionality.Air Speed and Air Volume to Get Yard Jobs DoneUnlike some manufacturers, who simply reduce the size of their blower nozzles to achieve higher air speed ratings without increasing the practical value of their tools, Toro gives this blower/vac the ability to balance between air speed (measured in miles per hour, or mph) and air volume (measured in cubic feet per minute, or cfm) to ensure maximum power and performance. This Ultra blower/vac offers air speeds up to 235 mph and air volume up to 390 cfm, allowing you to move a substantial volume of leaves and debris with ease. Two different air concentrator nozzle inserts come with the Ultra blower so you can match the correct air volume to the job you are doing. The power insert moves debris into wind rows and creates piles while the concentrator insert moves debris out of cracks and edging as well as moves stubborn leaves. The main tube is great for moving debris away from house and shrubs. The metal impeller shreds leaves and debris into fine mulch (see larger image). 3-in-1 Versatility Makes Managing Tasks EasyA convenient quick-release latch lets you convert your blower into a vacuum in seconds without any tools, while a metal impeller makes it easy to mulch debris. The magnesium serrated metal blades on the impeller shred leaves and other unwanted debris into a fine mulch that you can use around your lawn and garden, saving money and recycling important nutrients. It also makes it easy to dispose of unwanted yard waste, since the impeller can reduce 16 bags’ worth of leaves to one bag.Clean and Efficient with Electric PowerCompared with gas blowers, electric blowers are quieter and require less maintenance. They start up instantly without requiring you to master a finicky pull cord. There's no messy gas-oil mixture to worry about, and you don't have to contend with noxious fumes to get a job done.This high-powered blower/vac weighs in at a very manageable 7.5 pounds, making it easy on your back. It also features a cord hook for convenient storage of the electrical cord. It's backed by a full two-year warranty.What's in the BoxToro 51609 blower/vac power unit, blower tubes, vac tubes, vac bag, cord storage hook, and operators manualConvert from blower to vacuum without tools (view larger).

Review: Great blower/vacuum. Highly recommended. - Disclaimer: I rated it 5 stars, but have only used it once- I just didn't want to forget to write an initial review. I will update if needed. Like most of you, I looked at a lot of reviews of different blowers. I read that sometimes the MPH rating wasn't as important as CFM- and frankly it all didn't mean that much to me. I chose this one because of the amount of positive reviews (720+) at the time I bought it. I borrowed my neighbor's Black and Decker blower/vacuum and was pretty impressed with it. I think it was 250 MPH rated and it really moved my leaves. The speed dial had two settings, low (I) and high (II). It was great. After I went online to review his and others, I realized there were quite a few that might be better and took a chance on this one. I took it outside this morning and it impressed the heck out of me. It rained last night and the leaves in my yard were all wet, but the Toro had no problems. It was easier to manipulate than my neighbor's and it moved all the leaves, sometimes using the lowest power level. After I got all the wet leaves into somewhat of a pile, I changed over to the vacuum and it really did great work. No issues at all. I knew it was going to go well when I first turned it on and the vacuum stuck to the driveway. Good suction. Putting it together was no harder/easier than my neighbor's, so that made me happy. The only thing that bothers me is that all of these blowers appear (according to reviews) have pretty weak bags. It was probably not a good idea to suck up wet leaves because I'm sure the bag, once it dries, will be that much weaker. My bad. I love it- so far. I think it was a great buy and it works fantastically on all speed levels.
Review: SOLID PERFORMING PRODUCT! - I am very pleased with this electric leaf blower/vacuum unit! I got this primarily to vacuum up all the leaves from our various trees in our small S.F. backyard. The challenge, however, was being able to vacuum the leaves up, while NOT disturbing our existing black and white pebble groundcover. But the worries and concerns were all for not. Thanks to Toro's variable speed control feature, it made for really easy work here. Once I determined the appropriate power to use, the unit methodically and efficiently picked up ONLY all the leaves on top of all the black and white pebbles, totally leaving them again undisturbed!! Yes, VERY NICE INDEED. And, in terms of overall noise, it was very acceptable and NOT loud or painful whatsoever, particularly at the lower power levels! Was able to avoid wearing headphones or earplugs and just work through the effort no problem. Also, after throwing the Toro Catch Bag over my left shoulder (similar to a women's purse), the unit became remarkably light and efficient and very easy to maneuver around the yard. Overall weight of the unit was NEVER an issue. Also, after a bit of practice, I was able to effectively tie down and loop over the extension cord and power outlet, where the cord wasn't in the way or become a safety issue. Again, like everything in life, practice makes PERFECT!! In summary, this is a solid overall performer, made even better, given it's very reasonable asking price. I read all the reviews and based my purchase on them. And now, after having used the unit a few times thus far, I fully concur with everyone else! Highly recommended overall! Haven't had a chance to use the blower function as yet, but I'm sure this aspect works just as well. The Melcher function via the steel drive/cutter is very efficient at cutting down all the leaves to organic nothings!! ha ha.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it connected device or WiFi enabled? I was hoping to find a outdoor vac that can counts leaves and sends an email**
A: Nope....pretty basic.  Plug it in and with your own natural navigation and a little muscle you can complete the task all by yourself.  I don't recommend counting leaves.  It wastes too much time you could be playing with your ipad or smartphone.  As for emails.....do that when you take a break from your hard work.  Texting, emailing and blowing air while your multitasking is overrated.

**Q: Will this tool mulch leaves and acorns from oak trees?**
A: I have an oak tree along my driveway - no problem mulching the leaves.  If this manages to inhale an acorn, it will be shredded (or at least cracked open). But the inlet is very wide, which reduces likelihood of leaf  clogging, but also makes it difficult to vacuum up large heavier debris like acorns.  If you are on a quest to shred acorns (to reduce mice pest issue), I would first use a shop vacuum and collect the acorns into a bucket. Then you will have an easier time mulching them with this (if needed, you could lay the blower on it's side and drop handfuls of acorns down the blower's feed tube).

**Q: Is it possible to use ONLY as vacuum? Without mulching?**
A: No the vacuum has a steel blade in it (the reason my husband likes it) that mulches and is permanent.

**Q: is there an attachment for cleaning gutters?**
A: I made a gutter cleaning attachment with three pieces of one-inch PVC pipe and two 90-degree elbows, attaching it to the blower by cutting the bottom off a plastic bottle and taping it to the front end of the blower. Nothing elegant, but it works!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Back saver, marriage saver -- far better than gas blowers
*by A***N on December 20, 2014*

For 2 years my wife and I raked leaves at our new home, which was a real chore and source of stress/procrastination -- one year we let the snow cover all the leaves in the yard. When spring came, it was even more of a mess to rake up as the leaves were waterlogged, and we had to remove them before they suffocated the new season's grass. I also wanted to compost my leaves. Before I got this, I had purchased an electric leaf mulcher. The mulcher was more effective at, well, mulching... but you had to move the device thing to each pile.. what a pain. This Toro blower/vacuum just blows everything off the yard and into the treeline. When the yard is clear, you can use the vacuum mode to chip away at the "wall of leaves" (places where the leaves would pile up due to small scrub growth). The Tori vacuum does mulch, but without a blade which has plusses and minuses (it really just crushes and shreds the leaves... good for composting but not fine enough to mix directly into garden soil like I was doing with the standalone mulch-only appliance I bought). A word about POWER... I bought the 235mph model. This thing has NO PROBLEM with worst case scenarios like blowing wet leaves off of wet grass. As you can imagine, driveway clearing is fast and easy. The handy dial allows you to control the blower force, which you probably need lower when blowing wet leaves off of mulch. On max speed this thing has no trouble blowing away mulch, actually. Not it's intended use, but I used this to remove some ground moss when the soil was wet. The moss just rolled off the soil and now I have a bare spot to seed (which is good... too much damn moss creeping into the shady part of the yard). NOISE... not too too bad -- it's FAR quieter than my neighbor's gas backpack model. I've used it without ear protection, but really you want some safety/shooter ear covers. What works almost as well are some headphones which completely surround the ear; then you can at least plug it into your phone or MP3 player. As this thing pulls 12 amps, you really want a heavy-duty extension capable of handling the current. Note that if you use a weak extension cord (or one that's too long) you will actually draw MORE amps out of your outlet (I'm simplifying things, but you'll lose power to resistance in the extension, and the motor will struggle to pull the power it needs). When shopping for an extension, be sure to "round up" and buy the beefier cable. I need 125 feet of extension to cover my yard, so I got two 12 gauge extensions here on Amazon (the extensions cost as much as this blower/vacuum, but everything I plug into that extension will potentially last longer). With a beefy extension, I have not tripped the garage circuit yet (being an older home, the garage sadly is equipped with 15A circuits so this is a concern). (and just to add WAY more detail than this review needs... don't go crazy and get the 10 gauge extension Amazon sells... I mean it would work more efficiently, but reeling or coiling it in will be like handling a garden hose filled with sand... a good workout I suppose). If you are 50 foot or less, 16 gauge is a little lighter to carry. OK, enough ADD banter. This is the blower you want. I don't care if you don't have outside outlets - just run it from the garage (I do!). Electric is far cleaner for the environment (which is important to folks with children), and you never have to mix gas/oil or run out of gas. No tuneups.
