Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599

from: Toro

January 01, 2007
After ten or so years of using both gas and electric blower/vacs, I can say it is the worst designed vacum I have ever tried to use. You can not make a good vacum by just turning a blower upside down, removing various parts that will get lost, and sticking a big cumbersom bag on it. If you really want a well designed blower/vac, try to find the Yardman model. It truely is a blower/vac that well designed and converts just by the flip of a lever.

Toro 1800 18-Inch 12 Amp Electric Curve Snow Thrower #38025

from: Toro


I ordered this product, and received it in 2 days with free shipping!, and just finished assembling it. Very easy to do. It is very light weight and easy to manuver. My parts question is, what spare parts should I have on hand? I'm quessing the rotor itself, the belt, the scraper, and maybe the the handle and shear pin? Were can these parts be found? Sears has a appliance parts web site and a another site called repairclinic.com but what about a local Toro dealer or the Toro web site itself? PS: No snow yet so I cannot say how well it works.

Toro 38361 Power Shovel 7.5 Amp Electric Snow Thrower

from: Toro


MAKE SURE YOU GET THE NEWER MODEL 38361. IT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE OLDER MODEL 38360.

I read other reviews and did research before purchasing this product. And I agree with the consensus. If you use it for what it was intended, it really works great.

I'm a veteran of over 50 Wisconsin winters, so I know a little bit about snow. For snow that is 6-8" deep or less, and that isn't of the wet, heavy variety, it cuts through quickly, and gets down to bare pavement easily.

If you need something for wet or deeper snow, get a snowblower. This is not advertised as a substitute for a snowblower. But for light to moderate snow it's fantastic.

I had to laugh. In one of the other reviews I read, a woman and her husband ... Read More:

Toro 43-Gallon Gardening Spring Bucket #29210

from: Toro

February 27, 2006
This is a nice bucket. I use it when I am gardening, trimming trees, etc. I didn't give it 5 stars because as you fill it up, if you've lined it with a trash bag/leafbag, it tends to be a little difficult to get the bag out without tearing. Other than that, I think it's fine. I have purchased two of these - one for me and one for my mom!

Toro Universal Leaf Collector with 8-Foot Hose #51500

from: Toro

September 12, 2006
This product is a good idea and thought it would be easy to use, but the vacuum hose keeps coming off the barrel cover attachment, other than that found it to be faster than contnually emptying the bag. ( after attaching with a wire tie )

Toro Power Sweep 7 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower #51585

from: Toro


We recently acquired an property with a lot of leafy trees and this is my first blower. When the shipment arrived, I thought that Amazon shipped the wrong item because it came in a tiny box. Snap the tube on, connect the cord and it's ready to use.

The power switch is somewhat touchy. When trying to select low speed, it is easy to accidentally bump it into high speed. I accidentally blasted away a bunch of bark and made a crater. Oops. During low speed use, it's also easy to accidentally bump the power switch to off.

The power receptacle is mounted on a short cable tail on the back end. I have several other lawn tools that have the receptacle integrated into the shell with a hook to retain the cord and I prefer that arrangement. When you ... Read More:

Toro Blower Vac Replacement Vacuum Bag #51601

from: Toro


Great product just like the one which originally came with the unit. One sidenote, save the plastic end piece from old bag because the replacement does not come with one.

Toro Super 12 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum #51592

from: Toro

January 01, 2007
More powerful than some gas blowers I've used. You can move massive quantities of leaves with it - and that's without the included "concentrator sleeve" you can insert to make the airflow even stronger.

Excellent value for the price. I like it a lot, and would have given it five stars if it weren't for two issues:

- One design flaw - there's no hook on the back to anchor your extension cord, so it tends to come unplugged pretty easily whenever there's any pull on the cord.
- It's pretty heavy for extended use. Then again, since it's so powerful, it doesn't take as long to do the job, so that offsets the problem a bit.

Otherwise, it's a good blower at a very nice price.

Toro Rake & Vac 10.5 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum #51574

from: Toro

January 01, 2007
I don't expect much from multipurpose tools-this one was a pleasant surprise. Went together easily, appears to be well made. Blower does a good job, though not quite up to the bigger gas powered blowers. Vacuum was better than i expected. Sucked up everything except very wet leaves, and the bag holds a surprising amount of leaves, which are well mulched. The one problem was that the bag, which gets quite heavy, is difficult to move around. Carrying strap was awkward and I ended up dragging the bag, which means a duct tape repair in the future. Highly recommend good hearing protection. Very good unit for the price.
