Our old gas blower stopped working and took a look at the electric ones since the reviews online all said they were better. I really dislike having to worry about the cord (got a pool) but other than having to readjust the cord the blower is great. It starts right up (by pressing a button vice mixing gas/priming/pulling the cord 3-10 times), blows more than enough air power for a large yard (and adjustable power at that), plus it’s lightweight and barely vibrates. This is the best I’ve seen and I’ll be sticking with toro in the future, the only other conquerable blowers are the backpacks but their kinda pricey for the trouble of worrying about the gas and spark plug.

I bought this Toro electric blow and vac in utter frustration after spending a small fortune on similar gasoline powered products. I use it as a vac several times per week and even daily in the Fall. I found that the very cheap gasoline blow and vacs start falling apart very quickly indeed as the result of poor and shoddy design so I moved up to the top of the line, Echo, which appears to be very well made and engineered. My first one, an ES211, did outlast its 2 year warranty, it had a starter assembly and cord replaced under warranty but then just wore out during the third year. The second ES211 lasted 18 months until something broke inside the engine and it wouldn’t even rotate. The third one (a $290+tax ES231 heavy duty model) is just over a year old and overheats very quickly, smokes badly, and is melting the plastic grill surrounding the engine.
The dealers lie and tell me that it’s my fault and that the problem is lack of lubrication. As a lifelong, now retired, professional mechanical engineer and having owned 2-stroke engines since a teenager I have always used the correct gas/oil mixture in 2-stroke engines including motorcycles of course.
The Toro Ultra Blower and Vac does everything I need. Let’s list the advantages. It is amazingly light and doesn’t strain your back lugging its bulk plus a heavy bag of leaves around the way a gas powered model does – this is very important and not to be dismissed as you get up in years. It always starts when you turn the knob – you sure can’t say that about gasoline powered garden equipment. It converts from a blower to a vac very quickly without needing a screwdriver and undue force – Toro obviously corrected this problem from the prior model. It is very quiet compared with gas models – your neighbors will appreciate this. It doesn’t have a spark plug or an air filter that needs frequent attention. It doesn’t get dirty, grimy, and oily from gasoline exhaust and leaky carburetors and tubing. You don’t have to buy expensive gasoline and oil and be required to mix and find a place to store a separate highly inflammable gas/oil mixture. The Toro has a cast magnesium impeller that handles the occasional twig or stone quite handily. The leaf bag is well designed, it disconnects easily and is a snap to empty. The vac suction and air blast from the blower seems equivalent to the Echo. Last but not least is P R I C E , my Toro was $69.99, at that price I could buy four of them for the price of one Echo ES231.
Now for the only disadvantage I can think of. I use a 100 ft. 13amp. electric cord and reel. You sacrifice some ease of mobility because you have a cord dragging behind you all of the time – nothing in life is perfect I guess.

Everything advertized about the Toro Blower is absolutely “spot on”! It is very powerful and efficient in the blower mode, and the vacuum part is a welcome bonus. If there is a drawback, its that it is electric —-you have to use an extension cord, which can be challenging. However, for the price it is worth every penny.

The Toro #51599 Electric leaf blower/vacuum is perfect for for small jobs. It is not only light and easy to handle, but, very powerful for it’s size. Our home is situated under pine trees which drop lots of needles onto the concrete drive. It works great for keeping the pine needles off the drive.
-L. Oertel (Toro 51599 Blower user review from Amazon.com)
This blower/vac is the best lawn tool I have ever purchased. To think I used to rake my leaves! I live in an established neighborhood with huge maples and oaks that produce large amounts of tree-litter and a small to moderately sized yard (~6000 sq/ft total(?)). Dragging a cord around is not that much of a hassle for me, and it is well worth the power to weight and noise ratio this blower has (not to mention its lack of required maintenence). In fact, it is more powerful and quieter than most gas-powered blowers, most of which do not vac. (Plus, your neighbors may appreciate is lack of air and relative noise pollution).
The metal impeller in this model was the selling point for me and I was not disappointed. It sucks up twigs and bits of mulch without worry. In fact, the continuously adjustable suction allows you to suck up leaves over mulched areas. Pinecones and hidden rocks also will not terribly damage the metal impeller.
CONS: Leaf duty is still a pain, but I have not discovered a more useful tool to help you with it under $100. There are cheaper blowers out there, but I would be weary of purchasing one for anything but the most lightweight tasks (blowing grass off a sidewalk). It has a cord, but in every other way it is superior to gas blowers for about the same price or lower.

We were in the market for a yard blower. So as always i researched the Toro 51599 Electric Blower/Vacuum. The price was right and the reviews that i read were all positive for what was needed for my home. After receiving this machine and finally having a chance to operate it. I have nothing but positive remarks about this purchase. The equipment was delivered when promised. It is more than powerful enough for our yard/driveway. It is very user friendly. I can’t wait to see what it does on the leaves in the fall. This is my first blower and from the looks of it. This will be the only one that i will ever own. Toro you have a client for life.
