- Good blower with variable speed. I was skeptical of the variable speed from a reliability standpoint and I think it may have been it's downfall.
- The variable speed means anyone can use this with no problems.
- As a leaf vacuum, it picks up just about everything (except oak acorns) and very seldom clogs
- The machine vacuums up leaves perfectly. Everyone should have one, I even have had friends order the same product....but now a replacement bag costs half as much as the $60 I paid for the whole thing.
- Although I primarily use this as a blower, this also has the ability to convert to a vacuum which works ok but does have the tendency to get clogged a bit too easily.
- The best feature of this blower is its power. On higher speeds it easily moves large piles of pine needles or leaves.
- My wife was extremely impressed also at the speed I could knock her pictures off of the wall. She was so impressed that all she could say was, "take that outside!".
- The high speed air gets into places you could not shovel.
- At highest speed, it won't break up a deep pile of dry leaves.
- The variable speed is incredible so I can adjust the level suction to avoid vacuuming up all my decomposed granite, while still clearing the dead vegetation. At full power I could probably clear my yard of all the rocks!
- Is high powered, light weight confirming my research handier than gas and more powerful than cordless.
- I love the variable speed but am not loving the weight of the unit. It says it weights almost 9 lbs, and for me that's really heavy on the arms using this as a blower.
- I think the weight is just fine. I'm an older guy and not in great shape; but I can use the blower for quite a while without having to rest. I think in part because the blower is balanced well.
- It's reasonably lightweight and reasonably well-balanced with the blower nozzle. I believe the mulching unit adds more weight than necessary, especially when I'll never use it, but it's still not bad.
- I like it's light weight and seems powerful.
- It's quiet, light weight, easy to carry, and does a nice job.
- The one note of caution is the weight when collecting leaves. The unit itself is moderately heavy and gets more so as the collection bag fills.
- My property is huge, but I can't find a lighter weight unit that shreds as efficiently. I
- It is relatively light weight when using the blower portion and the narrow wand allows you to get into tight places.
- The Toro 51621 is easy to handle, light in weight but powerful.
- The variable speed feature is nice, it's easy to change from vac to blow, the metal impeller is bulletproof, the plastics hold up, and it's reasonably quiet.
- This model is more powerful than the older Toro I had previously and whereas my old model basically had one speed this one has a variable speed control making it more flexible to use.
- The mulching feature is so strong it only takes one bag to clear our entire backyard. A 3 foot high and 3-4 foot around pile can be mulched into a single bag.
- It is much much quieter than a gas blower, it is so quite you dont really need earmuffs.
- The dialed speed adjustment is a welcomed design, and could be run at less than top speed for most any type of leaf.
- The handle is very comfortable for the blower use, making it seem light and allowing a variety of grips.
- The selector switch is also very sensitive and you can very easily switch between low and high without trying to.
- The mulching feature is awesome, I compressed alot of leaves and dog hair into just a few loads. The bag is easy to put on and take off.
- The volume control was easy to use and I think when using it to blow stuff from a variety of surfaces the easy of changing it will be a big plus.
- One really poor design feature is that it is very hard to push a button used to release the attachments (see my photo with arrow pointing to the button).
- This model is more powerful than the older Toro I had previously and whereas my old model basically had one speed this one has a variable speed control making it more flexible to use.
- he cord holder still isn’t great and still doesn’t hold the cord as well as I think it should. Just like the old model, I find it much too easy to accidently unplug the power cord.
- This thing is very light and but extremely powerful.
- The balance is good, though vibration at full power seems to be much higher than previous version. Hope this one lasts.
- He's not too crazy about dragging a cord around, but is actually more powerful and easier for him to handle due to his arthritis.
- Absolute power house! This is about the 51621 model. My gas powered leaf blower/vacuum broke so I thought I would try an electric one.
- One positive about the vacuum: it is powerful enough to suck up leaves but not powerful enough to suck up dog poop, very convenient.
- It is very powerful in both the blow and suction modes. I have been testing it on leaves and pine needles that are dry, and it performs very well.
- This thing is crazy powerful as a blower. I used it in corners and even eaves to get hair, webs and dust. I showered before I set out to clean the back yard which was a mistake as I was covered with dirt and dust when I was done.
- It has lots of blowing power and three different nozzle attachments for customizing air flow.
