Editorial Review :

Powerful and effective, the Toro Ultra 3-in-1 Blower, Vacuum, and Leaf Shredder makes completing yard work fun and easy. With air speeds up to 235 mph, this electric blower nevertheless is lighter, quieter, and cleaner than similar gas blowers. And with a sleek, ergonomical design, it's a tool that is easy to use and will grab your neighbors' attention.

The Toro Ultra 3-in-1 Blower, Vacuum, and Leaf Shredder: Is electric so it is lighter, quieter, and cleaner than similar gas blower. Has a variable speed motor. Features a metal impeller for mulching debris.

Convert from blower to vacuum without tools.

The metal impeller shreds leaves into a mulch.

The impeller can reduce up to 16 bags' worth of waste to one bag.

Match the Power to the Task for Better Results
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
Power unit, blower tubes, vac tubes, vac bag, and operators manual.

Even a large yard is easy to clean up with this blower.

Excellent Blower, vacuum not so good ,,,

Excellent blower ... Vacuuming up leaves, not so good ?????? One thing I dislike about the vacuum portion is there is a LOT of dust that comes out of the collector bag when vacuuming (not good) ... Blower good ...
Vacuuming not so good ... With that in mind, I would recommend this product for its blower qualities ...

worth every penny

This leaf blower is amazing. Super powerful, easy to use, very easy to put together and surprisingly, not obnoxiously loud. If you want to blow your leaves and trash into the neighbors yard, this is what you need. If not, you still need this machine if leaves drive you crazy. I have cottonwood trees that shed leaves every single day and I was sick & tired of raking and picking them up. After reading the reviews on this leaf blower, I ordered it from Amazon, got it very quickly and am extremely happy I did. Unless someone cuts down these annoying trees of mine, I will always have to deal with leaves and this amazing machine makes my life a little easier. Worth every penny.

It worked the first time

The first time I used this Toro electric blower it worked great although is nosier at higher speeds than expected. A week later when I tried to use it again nothing happened. When I called Toro they were very pleasant, and said they suspected a safety switch of some sort had stuck and if I shipped it back they would send me a new one in a few weeks. They do not pay for shipping so I am $22 poorer and back to using my B&D cordless while I wait for a replacement. Not a good intro to my first Toro.

Works well, very powerful

Works well, seems to be pretty powerful. Not sure if the vacuum part is too great, it does tend to clog, but I have nothing to compare it to.

REVIEW TORO 51599 BLOWER/VACUUM

I HAVE TWO MATURE DECIDUOUS TREES IN MY BACKYARD, HERE IN PHOENIX WE GET A NUMBER OF MONSOON STORMS WITH VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS, I DONT LIKE BLOWERS THEY JUST MOVE STUF AROUND IN MY OPINION AND CAN POLUTE THE AIR WITH DUST AND DEBRIS, SO I PURCHASED THIS TORO MACHINE FOR THE VACUUM. I HAVE USED IT 3 TIMES SO FAR, IT WORKS WELL, I AM SATISFIED, I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS GOOD FOR WHAT YOU GET, THE QUALITY IS THERE. I USE IT MOSTLY FOR CONCRETE WALKWAYS AND DRIVEWAY, I REALY LIKE THE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL WICH IS CONVENIENTLY PLACED, THE VACUUM IS POWERFUL AND I HAD NO TROUBLE CLEANING UP ALL THE LEAVES QUICKLY.
YES YOU DO HAVE TO MANIPULATE THE CORD, I FOUND THE BEST WAY IS TO WORK AWAY FROM THE OUTLET. EMPTYING THE BAG WAS EASY, I LIKE HOW THE IMPELER CHOPPED UP THE LEAVES, I USE THEM AS MULCH AROUND MY PLANTS.
MY ONLY GRIPE IS THE BAG WOULD BE EASIER TO WORK WITH IF IT WAS STRAPPED TO THE BACK LIKE A BACK PACK, TORO COULD EASILY MAKE A FLEXIBLE TUBE TO CONECT TO THE MACHINE. OVERALL I WOULD BUY THIS ITEM AGAIN. MJS.Toro 51599 Ultra 12 amp Variable-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum with Metal Impeller

Ok, but not great

It's rated for 130 watt continous, but it's probably closer to 100watt. Used it for my laptop with a 120 watt draw. Worked fine for about 3 days, then overloaded. has to switch to my ac plug from my old laptop rated @ 90watt. It works but the laptop doesn't recharge as fast. The fan on the inverter works great, keeps unit cool even on 90+ degree days

Haven't used long, but so far works great, beautiful design.

Assuming it holds up, this is just what I needed, in a smaller, sleeker design than expected. I use it for a moist heat blanket for physical therapy. Very convenient.

Problem with inverter power cord

This inverter worked well for 18 months to power a 16" TV from our car cigarette lighter.
I measured the AC load on the inverter at only 20 watts, so I expected good inverter reliability.
This week, when the 30Amp fuse in the car that protects the cigarette lighter blew, I suspected
the inverter was shorted. After troubleshooting the problem I discovered the inverter was OK!
The short was in the 2-pin connector that plugs into the inverter. After cutting away part
of the rubber connector, I saw that the insulation on the wires had pulled slightly away
from the pins *inside* the moulded rubber connector allowing the stranded wires to touch.
There was very little clearance between the wires at that point and no insulating barrier.
I was able to repair the connector and used epoxy to keep the wires from touching.
Everything works again! I'm writing this review to alert others to this problem, so that they
won't assume the inverter shorted and failed. The problem is easily repairable.

It works

So far I've only used it to charge my cell phone on a long trip, and it has worked great for that. The only thing I've noticed is that it will sometimes make a low volume but high pitched squealing sound for a very short time when first turning it on. It goes away after a minute so it really isn't an issue.

Mr. Inverter

Needed an inverter for a 25 day road trip, this powered and charged many of my devices including a MacBook Pro, mobile phones, powered USB hubs (to charge USB devices) and camera batteries. I was impressed it charged my laptop while I was using it since I had a previous inverter that, when I plugged in an (old) laptop with battery, something happened with the battery and it wouldn't charge. Anyway, great product. 175 watts (or as someone said, 130 watts or so through DC) is enough for your typical electronic devices, just check your watts before buying.

Super Trimmer

Who could ask for anything more? Great battery life, powerful cutting power - with 2 batteries, to boot! This trimmer does a fine job. And the batteries can be used in other Black & Decker 18 volt cordless devices.

Light weight but does the job super well

I love my new trimmer - the battery goes and goes and does a superlative job. I have a torn rotator cuff and can't lift heavy products. I just love this, not to heavy and does a really good job of trimming. Excellent item, no bumping for the cord to come out. Buy one, you won't be sorry.

Surprised...and Pleased

I have owned a number of different gas powered trimmers and they all were more powerful than this B&D electric trimmer, so as many other reviewers have stated, if you are doing a big area, or using a trimmer a lot, perhaps this is not the right choice for you.
I was on the fence about it myself, but when my last gas unit konked out, decided to give it a shot and I'm happy I did. My property is about 1 acre and there is a good bit of trim work to do, but I've had no trouble finishing the job, usually on one battery. A couple of times, when cutting through heavier growth, I did have to switch batteries and it's nice to have the other ready to go just in case.
Other reviewers thought the batteries didn't last very long...maybe 15 minutes of running time. I was very careful to follow the instructions when charging them initially and have found I regularly get more than 20 minutes per battery pack. This unit uses a single filament cutting line which does a decent job if you take your time, but it only does a relatively narrow swath, so trimming tends to take a little longer.
Not playing with gas and oil or the stink of 2 cycle exhaust or fussy hard to start gas trimmers is a pleasure. Now I just pick up the Grass Hog when I need to trim something and squeeze the trigger...works every time with no fuss. The batteries are a little heavy and unit seems a bit heavy/unwieldy to me so it's just as well the battery life limits how long you can use it. There's no support strap to take weight off your arms/shoulders.
Overall, I'm very happy so far with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a cordless electric trimmer.

B&D Grass Hog

Works great for a battery operated tool. It has more power than I expected it to have. I also was VERY PLEASED that it came with 2 batteries!
I'd buy this item again in a heartbeat and have already recommended it to others.

I guess for 99 bucks you can't expect too much.
The trimmer does a good job of trimming, and batteries aren't too bad. The plastic guard leaves a lot to be desired. It comes in 2 pieces you have to assemble and install on the machine. When using it for the first time the guard flew apart and stipped the screw holes. I used Gorilla glue to put it back together. Hope it holds!
Good job BD?!

Black & Decker Electric Weed Trimmer

Replaced an electric Toro trimmer that lasted 20 years. Motor is not as powerful but adequate. Heavier than previous trimmer but light compared to most electric trimmers available today. Bump feed works adequately, although there is sometimes a delay in the feed (must run full speed for several seconds after bump feed before line advances). Plastic case seems fairly rugged. Overall seems decent so far for the price, which was cheap.

Unbeatable Price, effective tool

This tool works very well. And at this price, it is a no brainer. I use this on my St. Augustine grass and it cuts it close. I love the bump feature to release more string. It is also very light and quiet.

Just buy an appropriate extension cord and you are good to go. Nothing to charge and it does not use gas, so it does no pollute.

Good for the price

For $20 you can't go wrong. Doesn't work well for deep edging, but for light trimming and edging its good for the price

Works Great

I have practically cut my whole yard this handy little Grass Trimmer. I have used practically no string, and it is an amazing tool for the price and performance I have had. This is the perfect weed wacker for the smaller yard, or for someone who is physically challenged in anyway. Light weight, does what it says, inexpensive, what more could you want?

Recommend that you buy the installation package offered with the pump.

16 years and never missed a beat

I bought this pump in 1994 to get rid of condensate from a new Carrier Infinity ultra-high efficiency (96%) furnace and the whole house A/C installed with the furnace. I must admit, I probably have only cleaned this unit twice in all those years and it still pumps with unbelieveable reliability. Our situation is fairly demanding, it pumps up 7 feet and across the basement ceiling for 45 feet to drain in a laundry tub. I'm using 1/2" PVC tubing and it has always worked flawlessly. How can you go wrong with such a reliable unit, plus it's very quiet, not that I care all that much in my basement! This pump is a winner! Sure beats the other option the contractor offered: drilling a hole in the basement floor and running all that water under the slab! Had I done that, I'm sure our already damp basement would be even mustier. It already costs me about $75 a month during the summer to run two dehumidifiers full time.

Great pump

I purchased this pump to remove the condensation from my dehumidifier in my basement. It works great. I never have to worry about emptying the dehumidifier bucket. The pump has no problem pumping water up to the basement sink from the floor, (about 3 feet).
