Tora Ultra: More than satisfied.
Having used a Toro blower before, I was not concerned about its ability to move leaves. What I wasn’t sure about was the mulcher. For our acre lot with some 20 or more 100-year-old maples, it was either the mulcher worked or I would be spending a lot more on a garden tractor with a bag unit. Fortunately, the Toro mulcher has more than met my expectations. I blow the leaves into rows for mulching and fill the 13 gal. bag in two to three minutes. I get four bags in each of two 32 gal. plastic garbage cans that are hauled off to a compost pile. I’ve been forced by weather to do wet leaves but it is far better to do them dry. $65 vs. $2,000; now that’s a very satisfying no-brainer!
Makes cleaning up leaves…kinda fun actually
I bought a Troy-Bilt blower/vac and it started on fire after the first 15 minutes, which is always a little bit of a letdown, to say the least. That was my first foray into the world of blower/vacs, so needless to say I was a little apprehensive to buy another one. This Toro model is as awesome as the Troy-Bilt was crappy. I don’t want to use the blower, I just need it to suck up leaves in my garden where a convential rake isn’t a good idea. I think the vacuum works great — it chews up big, thick magnolia leaves like nothing, and the fully adjustable speed control is much better than something that is either on, off, or maybe offers just two speeds. This one is great so far!
My first leaf blower — what a great tool!
I have 4 mature oak trees on my property, and for the past 4 falls, I have manually raked the leaves. After reading about this blower in Consumer Reports’ August or September 07 issue (it was ranked best), I decided to give it a try. I am really happy with this blower. I mainly use it to vacuum/mulch the leaves, and it does a good job. My only real complaint about this is that the vacuum attachment is a little too long for my 5′5″ stature, so I’m somewhat clumsy with it. The shoulder adjustment strap also drops the bag a little lower on my hip than I would like. Other than that, I haven’t had problems with it. Because of these two nuisances, I’m giving 4 stars.
