Toro Variable-Speed Electric Leaf Blower and Vacuum
73The Toro Ultra 12-amp Variable-Speed Electric Leaf Blower/Vacuum is for every homeowner who takes pride in the appearance of their property. Spring is right around the corner and our yards are needing some attention after this blistering winter. The Toro Ultra Blower/Vacuum will get that yard in shape in quick order.
This variable-speed blower is capable of cleaning your dirtiest driveways and sidewalks in just moments. The vacuum, with its metal impeller, will reduce all the leaves and twigs on your property to a fraction of its original volume. Toro claims a 16:1 ratio. Imagine hauling one or two bags of leaves to your compost pile instead of ten or twenty. No more fussing with finicky 2-cycle engine gas-oil mixture ratios.
Wouldn't it be fun to actually enjoy some fall yard work once again? The quietness of this machine will make your yard work much more enjoyable for you and your neighbors. And with its light weight of only 7.5 pounds it will make you wonder why you didn't get rid of your gas-powered blower/vac sooner.
Variable-Speed Electric Motor
Toro uses a powerful 12-amp variable-speed electric motor to deliver speeds from 112-mph to 235-mph. In blower mode, it can deliver up to 255 CFM. In vacuum mode, this model is capable of 390 CFM. The lower speeds are ideal for blowing off your sidewalks, blowing out tight or delicate planting areas and cleaning up small, dry oak leaves while the highest speeds are great for cleaning up large, wet maples leaves. Simply use the blower to gather all of your leaves into a manageable pile, then switch to vacuum and gather them all up. No more sore back from bending and stooping to bag leaves by hand.
Toro's motor is much lighter than its gas counterpart which is what allows this machine to weigh-in at a svelte 7.5 pounds. This lightweight machine will allow you to stop getting oil on your clothes and yourself, stop worrying about gas-oil mixtures and start enjoying a greener, quieter solution.
Plus, you will no longer have to dread going to garage to start the leaf blower or vacuum. Two-stroke engines can be very hard to start at times but this Toro blower allows you to forget about all that. All you need to worry about is locating the extension cord.
Other Advantages of the Toro Leaf Blower and Vacuum
One of the other outstanding features on this low-cost unit is the serrated-edged, magnesium impeller used to shred leaves. While most other consumer-grade, residential vacuums use a plastic impeller, Toro put some real strength in this impeller. It is capable of shredding leaves with ease but you no longer need to worry when you vacuum-up a hardwood twig or piece of mulch - this impeller will shred it all. A typical plastic impeller would be permanently damaged and if it wasn't replaced would not work optimally.
With a full two-year warranty on this blower/vacuum, Toro has designed this tool with the strength where it's needed and lightweight parts to make using it a pleasure. Toro has:
- used ABS plastic throughout for its light weight and strength.
- used their powerful 12-amp variable-speed motor for maximum efficiency.
- used a serrated-edged, magnesium impeller for long life and optimal shredding.
- provided a 16:1 leaf shredding reduction ratio.
- included a full two-year warranty for customer satisfaction.
If you want to keep your property beautiful year-round, the Toro Ultra Leaf Blower/Vacuum is a great piece of landscaping equipment to have in your toolshed. It is a true pleasure to use.
