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.

Blow is just an expression, it don't suck for shi!!!!
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.
Works as well as I expected
As a blower it works very well - lots of power to move even accumulated piles of leaves. As a vacuum, it also works well and does a good job of chopping the leaves - carrying the bag on ones shoulder is a little awkward but worth getting used to for those areas where you have to get between lots of shrubs and other spots that are hard to rake or blow.
Does the job
Well built. Blows and vacs at tremendous speeds, but dialable with infinite variable control. The metal impeller crunches up leaves as designed and advertised. I'd suggest staying with dry leaves, but that's really just common sense.
Best of the three I've owned
I've owned three blower/vacs (Two were black and decker) and this is clearly the most powerful and best at mulching leaves. The others had hard plastic teeth and this one has metal ones. Like all the electric powered ones I've used, it is best on dry material, but the Toro did handle the damp leaves better than my other leaf vacs (fewer clogs, leaves chopped up better). My main reasons for not giving 5 stars are these two:
1) Many of the electric yard tools I've used have some way to secure the... more info
