Does the job almost as good as my older TORO blower
1 of 1 found this helpful Replaced a TORO m-850 blower that I have had for a while and went out of production in 1994 according to TORO's CSR. I live on a wooded lot, have a driveway 20 x50 and a long curving sidewalk, a porch and large patio. I have many trees, and lot's of stuff that falls off same. I use year round especially in the fall when I use it to pile leaves prior to mulching them with the lawnmower. I have no use for it as a vacuum. PLUS: The power is almost as good as the old blower. Good enough to pile dry leaves 2' to 3' deep The balance is very good, much better than my old blower. I like the molded cord retainer. I had to jury rig with the old blower. CONS: This blower seems louder and the unit seems to run with more vibration than the older model. I wear ear protection for the noise but wonder if the vibration will lead to not last as long as the older unit. Time will tell!
