Toro Rake & Vac 10.5 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum

Toro Rake & Vac 10.5 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum #51574
Customer Review: don't overload it

I have had the unit for about 2+ years. It is a very good 'blower'. For the first time in the 2 years I've owned it I decided to vacuum some leaves. There must have been a clump of wet ones that got sucked up into it. Within seconds the motor began to burn up. I noticed one of the blades had broken too. With the broken blade it caused it to be unbalanced and consequently did not function well. Conclusion: good blower but be wary of using it as a vacuum.

Customer Review: Toro Rake & Vac 51574--less vibration, lighter vs Toro Ultra 51599

I needed an electric blower for a 9-unit apartment building, for sweeping the balcones, stairwells, patio and carports. I didn't need heavy lawn raking or mulching capability. I wanted one without exhaust fumes and as quiet as possible as I prefer not having tenants throw eggs at me, so gas blowers were right out. These Toros were top rated by Consumer Reports, and the local Home Depot had these two on display out-of-box. As a certifiable gadget-itis afflicted Star Trek fanatic, I was all set to get the fancier one... the red 51599 Ultra. The black 51574 was noticeably lighter though--6.5 vs 7.5 lbs. The Ultra had variable speed vs 2 fixed speeds....however the fixed speeds were not too far inside the extremes of the Ultra--roughly 5% above and 10% below...so it appeared I could trade off maximum quiet for maximum power roughly as well. I also didn't need the mulching capability of the metal impeller. Still, I decided to try them both.

For my application, the Rake & Vac had more than enough power even at the lower speed. Therefore the variable speed of the Ultra was cool, but not particularly useful. The vacuum function on both was fairly weak....I don't think I'd bother digging out and changing the attachments for vacuuming, manuevering this clunky configuration above the debris, unzipping the blower bag into the trash then storing the vacuum attachments then changing back to the blower attachment...it's faster just dustpanning blown debris into our wheeled trash bins. Both had approximately the same relatively tolerable whitish noise spectrum i.e. no irritating tones or whining, like some hairdryer-like blowers. It's a shame spectral diagrams of products' noise are not given by manufacturers...they make a big difference to users. They were also reasonably quiet, though I'd prefer quieter....the Toro website lists them at about 63dBA both at the lower speed...important for an apartment building. Additionally, hearing a blower speed vary is more noticeable than a constant speed...as anyone subjected to a gas leaf blower's operator constantly varying the speed can attest.

But the Rake & Vac's surprising smoothness clinched it for me. I vastly preferred using it...not only is it significantly lighter, but it had much less vibration. This gave it a quality, well balanced feel, vs the rough, buzzy, heavy feel of the Ultra. Looking at the Toro website, the 7.5 pound weight of the Ultra vs the 6.5 pounds of the Rake & Vac is mainly from the 12 amp vs 10.5 amp motor, with another 1 pound maybe from the metal vs. plastic impeller. I'm guessing the vibration could be a badly balanced metal impeller, or maybe just the larger motor.

As the Rake & Vac has more than enough power for my application, I might still try the lighter 4.6 pound Toro Power Sweep 51585, but I suspect it will have a whiny noise spectrum that might be quieter in the dBA sense but more annoying...

If you need that metal impeller or variable speed, you might prefer the Ultra...otherwise you'll probably prefer the lighter, smoother, cheaper Rake & Vac.

Customer Review: LOVE IT!!!

We absolutely love this fan. We bought ours a couple years ago and it works as well today as it did then. It cools the room very effectively, and that's just on the lowest speed. It has a nice, wide arc for oscillation, a choice of 1, 2, or 3 hour timers, and a handy remote. No other tower fan that I've tried even comes close to this fan. I could never go back to a regular fan after this gem!

Customer Review: Excellent Fan

This is a very powerful and very quiet fan. We use it on low in the bedroom. We bring it outdoors and use it on high. We liked it so much we bought a second one.

Weed Eater 7.5 Amp 160 MPH Electric Blower

Weed Eater 7.5 Amp 160 MPH Electric Blower #WEB160
The Weed Eater 7.5 Amp electric blower is ideal to clean sidewalks and driveways after cutting the grass, and is perfect for cleaning out the garage. It's compact and light weight size at 4.5 pounds help deliver power as well as ease of use.

Customer Review: Very good for small jobs

The product works as advertised. It is very light weight but can get small jobs done well.

Customer Review: Nice item but less than perfect ergonomics for switch location

Bought this to use primarily for the gutter clean-out kit made by the same company. It snaps on very nicely for that, they did that right, but if Wead Eater is going to make in convenient to use their blower with the gutter cleaner, they should also make it convenient to put the switch off and on without letting go of the attachment when you are trying to hold it up to the gutter.

The switch location could not be in a worse location for this. It is in the back next to the extension plug. You cannot even see it when working. I moved it myself to a location right under the forward-side of the handle, where your hand would grip it for nice balance, but it took a couple of hours of crafting and wire work to accomplish.

The plastic body is well-made, not stinky-smelling and construction looks good, and probably casted in this country. The motor looks like it has ball bearings, but the motor says "made in China."

It is extremely light, which is nice for gutter blowing, and packs a wallop of a wind. Quite a value for $30 I paid.

Good value, but would have gladly paid a dollar or two more for a convenient switch location.

I have not used this blower yet, but wonder if the reviewer, the one that said it overheated, used a heavy enough gauge extension cord for its cord length?

Customer Review: Blower motor replacement

This blower was purchased to replace a 20-year old identical Regency Wood Stove blower motor. It is exactly the same motor and blower. However, you will need to retain some of the old motor wiring to cut & crimp. The new motor comes with just a crimped power cord and an attached ground wire. You will need to cannibalize the old wiring in order to use your existing power switch and thermal overload. A minor nuisance.

The new blower might also have to be rotated 90 degrees on the baseplate. In order to gain access to the bolts, you have to pinch and remove the cotter pin and then pull (hard) on the plastic blades to remove. Another minor nuisance. Make sure you have a magnetized socket screwdriver handy.

Altogether, it took my fat fingers about 30 minutes to install. The new blower is whisper quiet.

Customer Review: One of the Best Buys on Amazon

The factory-re conditioned Ryobi Backpack Blower Leaf Blower was one of the best purchases I've ever made on Amazon. It's was "like-new", inexpensive, and very reliable.

Customer Review: It really blows.

Factory Reconditioned Ryobi 25.4cc Gas Powered Variable Speed Backpack Blower (Non-CARB Compliant) #ZR08570

No pun intended. I'm very happy with my purchase and has made clean up my yard much easier. It's lighter than most so wearing it for hours is not a problem. The only problem (which I had already read in another review before purchase) is that the tubes will not stay together. It is a design flaw. I used Gorilla tape and taped the tubes together, not pretty but it did the job.

This is a great blower for the price if you can overlook the tube issue and don't mind the look of duct tape.

Toro 51592 Super 12 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum

Toro 51592 Super 12 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum
With a two-speed motor, the powerful Toro Super 12 Amp electric blower/vacuum delivers up to 230 mph of air speed. Compact and well-balanced, this blower/vacuum is comfortable to use and easy to maneuver. It requires no tools to change from blowing mode to vacuum mode. As a leaf shredder, this tool reduces 10 bags of leaves to one bag. Featuring an exclusive cord-lock system, it holds the power cord firmly in place so the extension cord will never come unplugged from the unit during use.

Customer Review: Nice, but not great

I don't know where they got the 10-bags-into-1 idea. It works great, except that it needs to be emptied more frequently than I would have expected/wanted. Also, it doesn't suck up leaves that quickly either. However, it definitely picks up all the leaves you put it near.

Customer Review: Powerful Blower

I am very pleased with the purchase of this blower. It is very powerful and lightweight. I highly recomend this product.

The device was a little difficult to put together and cumbersome to hold once finished. It works as advertised if the leaves are completely dry and works terribly if the leaves are at all wet.

Black & Decker BV2500 12-AMP Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher

Black & Decker BV2500 12-AMP Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher
Powerful, efficient, and easy-to-use, this three-in-one blower, vacuum, and mulcher helps clear off your yard, patio, deck, and walkways--even wet leaves and twigs are no match for this heavy-duty tool. Operation is simple: to switch from blowing to vacuum mode, just press the push-button. And you'll never have to worry about clogs slowing you down, thanks to the vacuum's Vortex system. Additionally, the BV2500 condenses 10 bags of raked leaves into just one bag of mulched leaves and works quietly, making yard work more pleasant. For added peace of mind, it comes with a 2-year warranty.

Customer Review: Mulching? What mulching?

Earlier reviews complained about difficulty in finding a button for mulching. I guess they were right; I couldn't find one. The instructions just say the leaves will be mulched as they go through the impeller.

After vacuuming a bunch of leaves and dumping them into a recycle bin, I couldn't really see any evidence of mulching.

The blower and vacuum work very well, however. Don't make the mistake of trying to vacuum leaves from loose dirt; you'll suck up a lot of dirt. Blow the leaves into a pile and then vacuum them.

Still, I like this tool. It's much quieter and easier to use than my gas blower.

Customer Review: Unwieldy/Heavy/Jam Prone and broken

I got two falls out of this leaf-vac before the little male-plastic bar that holds the fan/hand unit into the blowers female part broke as I cleared the 20th jam of the day today and tried to hook the unit back together.
Before it broke...it was heavy even empty and bulky to maneuver. It jammed very easy at the narrow hole from the machine to the bag.
The bag was always flying off my shoulder no matter how I adjusted the strap.
I give it a positive review for the blowing action. It blows grass off the driveway and walkway good. When it wasn't jamming it sucked very dry

loose leaves up. It jams on bunches and god forbid there is a little moisture on them.
Won't buy a B&D replacement.
