Love it. Easy to use, light, and effective for my yard. One of Toro's better ideas

I bought this unit at Home Depot, Canada for just $20 (Sale Aug 30 2010)...gonna go buy a couple more. I used it to blast away dirt and spider webs in the garage...works great. My intentions were to use it air dry my car before I detailed it. It seems to be powerful enough for most basic uses...cannot go wrong with just a $20 purchase. Great gift ideal...cheap too

I needed a good electric leaf blower for a good price and went with this Toro. I am very pleased with it so far. It puts out much more air than you'd think for how small it is - it feels like a toy (not the quality, the size) as other reviewers have said. When I turned it on I was corrected in my assumption! It's perfect for blowing cut grass and dirt off your driveway, or mulch back into its bed from your sidewalk, etc. It's not as violent as gasoline blowers - which I found refreshing, as you don't have to worry about destroying plants and blowing rocks into your car. If you need an inexpensive, quality leaf blower that "puts out," this one is for you! One side note: a couple of reviewers below have mentioned how the plug on the back has no strain-relief. Yes, it actually does. You fold your power cord, slip it through the ring on the back of the blower, and secure it on the hook. This puts the pressure on the plastic housing of the blower instead of on the integrated plug!

The Toro electric blower is light weight and easy to use, perfect for me and my yard projects

Super cool tool. I was looking for something light but powerful and this is it. Cleaned out shed, deck and debris in driveway. Kept wanting to look for more to do!Does the job well and easy enough for an older woman to handle!

Have been using it for a week now, Awesome Power. Didn't buy it for the vacuum. Probably will never use the bag.

After seeing this top the ratings at Consumer Reports, I bought this as my first ever leaf-blower. It is a versatile device, finding excellent service in cleaning an old auditorium where I volunteer. Recitals and children leave residues behind that this blower removed with ease and alacrity. Our 400 seat auditorium can now be swept thoroughly in just fifteen minutes. The volume of dust that this blower released from the old seats is truly remarkable.

For an electric blower this is the best I have ever had. Blows well, but a little noisey. I had it for a couple of weeks and so far there is no problem. I have other Toro products and all of them are excellent, a snow blower working well for more than 20 years. I would recommend it. Dan

I bought this blower vac a few weeks ago, because i needed something to pick up all the dead leaves i had, it would of taken all day to do this buy hand, so i order this oline, is took only 50 min and I ended up with seven bags of leaves. the power was great and the pickup was fast I enjoyed working that day with the bower vac, I will buy this product again, thanks.

This is a FAR superior blower/vacuum than my old one. It is simple to change from blower to vacuum and it has the power you need for all cleaning chores.

This is a small weed trimmer which is perfect for me--older and not too nimble any more.

Not a bad cordless weed eater. Im a tall guy so its alittle short for me. 6'7" to give you an idea. If your shorter than that you wont have an issue. It had plenty of power clear through the entire charge. Light enough to 1 hand wich was really convenient so i didnt have to bend over. Charge lasted mabey 20 min. contantly ran. i would by it agian if i had to.

I like the trimmer. Works pretty much like the majority of reviewers have described. However, I have an important piece of advice. The trimmer comes in two pieces, the battery/handle and the shaft/motor assembly. When you put the two pieces together, rest the motor on the floor or ground, engage the two pieces, and press down HARD on the handle until you hear an audible "snap" as the two pieces latch together. If you just push the two pieces together by hand they will seem to be OK and the trimmer will charge and initially work OK, but you will eventually have the following problems 1)the battery charge won't last very long and 2) the trigger safety button and trigger itself hang up and will not depress. I took my trimmer back to the dealer for an exchange and he informed me that the two pieces had simply slipped apart. He pushed them back together by hand, the trimmer then worked OK, and I went on my way. Once I started using it again at home the same symptoms ocurred again. It was then that I discovered that I needed to put significant pressure on the connection in order to get it to permanently snap together. No problems since then. I reread the assembly instructions and sure enough it says to push the two pieces together until you hear and audible click. I doubt most people will be able to do that unless they put one end on the ground and apply significant down force.

I purchased this item back in April, 2010 to make gardening easier for me. I am helping my daughter maintain her home and 2 acres of land while her husband completes his active duty in Afghanistan. I planted a beautiful garden and around this area as well as the walkways, driveway around the home, etc. need trimming. I am seventy-one years old and cannot handle the heavier gas and electric trimmers and when I saw this one advertised on Amazon I thought it would be just right for me to manage. At the end of July, the trimmer seized and I cannot get it operate; up to that point it was great and did the job. I cannot find a service company that fixes cordless trimmers so I contacted Toro. They gave me a list of dealers that are way out of my home area and the two that were the closest cannot fix it; they do not handle cordless ones. Toro advised me to mail it back to them and they would either repair or replace the item. To mail it back, the weight of the package would probably be as costly as what I paid for the item. I now have an unusable product.

This trimmer is fine for a small yard and for small jobs. You cannot do any edging with this product. Also, if you have an arthritis in your hands this is not the trimmer for you. Very hard to maintain holding the 2 buttons down. I will use for in between touch ups, not the entire yard.

Beware the item depicted isn't what you will receive. They show an 8oz can but you receive 4oz bottle.

Don't think you are getting 6 eight ounce cans of Lawnboy oil when you purchase this item. If you read the add it's for 6 (part #89932) which is 4 ounce bottles not the 6 eight ounce cans (part #89930) which is pictured in the add so beware.
