I originally thought I would get a gas hand-held blower to supplement my back pack unit. Consumers Reports rated the electrics better than gas-powered, and rated this one the best, so I went with it. After 15 minutes of use I knew my back-pack blower was history! I told my wife it was going away in the next garage sale! This Toro toll is ALL you need.

Toro Ultra #51599 Blower/Vac Review:
Just started using and cannot believe how much more powerful than the gas units I have been using over the past years. No comparison!!! I've gone green with my electric blower and will stay the course. PS. the vac works great with the metal turbine. No cheap plastic to break. A big plus+
Thar she blows:
I bought this unit to blow dust, dirt and leaves from my property and that it does well, it came with attachments for vacuuming also but I've not used them yet so I can't comment. As a blower it moves lots of air and I would compare it to any gas units I've used without the mess, cost and fumes of gas blowers. Good value
Wow!:
I've had this blower now for a year and I am very pleased with its performance & ease of use. Its great that I dont have to struggle with starting a gas powered one anymore! It is just as powerful as my husbands commercial blower & much less expensive. This is definately a winner! Buy it with confidence!
