Tackle big clean-up 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 Done
Unlike 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 mph) and air volume (measured in cfm) to ensure maximum power and performance. This Ultra blower vac offers air speeds up to 235 mph and air volume up to 255 cfm, allowing you to move a substantial volume of leaves and debris with ease. 3-in-1 Versatility Makes Managing Tasks Easy
A 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 Power
Compared with gas blowers, electric blowers are quieter, more eco-friendly, 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 also weighs in at a very manageable 7.5 pounds, making it easy on your back. This blower/vac is backed by a full two-year warranty. What's in the Box

 LOTS of Power November 17, 2008
All I can say is "WOW!" After reading about this blower/vacuum in Consumer Reports, and how well it worked, I decided to purchase it. I searched all over the internet, but found that Amazon's "amazing" price of just under $70 was unbeatable. That included free shipping. My blower/vac arrived the next day. Lucky me! Anyhow, It has PLENTY of power. Matter of fact, it has more power than the gas powered backpack blower I had, which pleasantly surprised me. I used the Toro to clean my gutters, and blow and vacuum my leaves, and it did all 3 jobs easily. Again, I'm "blown away" with the amount of power it has. The only "inconvenience" is having to pull an extension cord around with it, but you can solve that by buying the longest extension cord you can find. You can't go wrong purchasing this blower/vacuum. The price is right, and it works well. I wish I could rate it 6 stars instead of 5!
 Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Blower w/Metal Impellar November 17, 2008
I recently purchased the Toro Ultra after owning a gas powered unit. The gas unit I had lasted about three seasons and repairs were going to cost about as much as buying new. I used the Toro right after receiving it, and I am very pleased. The only drawback to electric is having to drag around the cord, but the unit operates noticably stronger than my old gas blower with no required maintenance. Also the metal impellar is a nice feature.
Performs as expected - the best non-gas blower/vac available November 16, 2008
This blower/vac has two features that make it the best available:
1. It uses a metal grinding/chopping impeller which doesn't wear out.
2. It has an infinitely variable blower velocity able to adjust to the conditions at hand.
One of my smartest purchases! November 16, 2008
The item was purchased for use as a blower only and have had no opportunity to use it as a vac. Living among giant pines with long needles, I wanted an easy way to move alot of needles in addition to the leaves. I was not disappointed as to the performance since it out-performed any gas blower I have used. It is also so light in weight and so much quieter that it was actually fun to use. Don't know why anyone would want a gas powered unit if they can reach their work with a power cord. A great buy! I highly recommend.
Toro Ultra 12 amp Leaf Blower/Vacuum November 16, 2008
It's comfortable to hold, better than the last leaf blower I had, powerful and I like the speed variations. Just bought it this season so I don't know about how it will hold up, but so far so good.Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599
