This the third replacement of Toro's variable speed Vacuum/Shredder electric leaf blower. The previous models all failed at the variable speed switch which is almost to impossible to fix/replace by TORO's design and availability of replacement parts (=none). This model has a low and high speed switch and I hope it will last longer than its predecessors. Its high speed is similar or same as the variable speed and I was very happy with the air flow of all of them and the vacuum/shredding power, specially the metallic impeller which ate through anything that made it up the vacuum pipe and then some. I really hope this lasts more than two years or will be looking for another band!

Vacuum bag zipper clogs every time you open the bag to remove leaves. The zipper is a tight plastic type zipper of very low quality and a poor design. The blower is great and the vacuum is good but trying to discard leaves after vacuuming is a real chore. Leaves and trash get stuck in the zipper. I have informed Toro of the zipper problem but not received a response. If they would change the zipper to a Military type zipper, it would probably work a lot better.

The Toro 51618 leaf shredder does the job for me. I'm glad I didn't pay more for the heavier, more expensive model. It shreds dry leaves very well. It is easy to assemble. The blower is powerful. Just remove sticks before vacuuming. It makes good mulch for your flower beds and gardens.

I purchase the Toro Blower/Vac because my original is finally dying after a quarter century. I received a terrific deal and the unit was promptly delivered. It still is uncomfortable to use for extesive periods of time in vacuum mode, but it does a terrific job. I would like a narrower vacuum attachment for reaching narrow gaps.

Love it! Great blower for the money. Light weight, easy to assemble, and excellent power. I don't use the leaf collector so I'm unable to judge that. A solid blower and I would recommend it.
