A variable speed 12 Amp motor lets you select from an infinite variety of speeds between 112 mph and 235 mph. This means that you can use low speeds to clear off hard surfaces and clean up tight areas without making a mess and without sacrificing the blower's high-speed functionality. p bAir Speed and Air Volume to Get Yard Jobs Done/bbr Unlike some manufacturers, who simply reduce the size of their blower nozzles to achieve higher air speed ratings without increasing the practical value of their tools, Toro gives this blower vac the ability to balance between air speed (measured in mph) and air volume (measured in cfm) to ensure maximum power and performance. This Ultra blower vac offers air speeds up to 235 mph and air volume up to 255 cfm, allowing you to move a substantial volume of leaves and debris with ease. p b3-in-1 Versatility Makes Managing Tasks Easy/bbr A convenient quick-release latch lets you convert your blower into a vacuum in seconds without any tools, while a metal impeller makes it easy to mulch debris. p The magnesium serrated metal blades on the impeller shred leaves and other unwanted debris into a fine mulch that you can use around your lawn and garden, saving money and recycling important nutrients. It also makes it easy to dispose of unwanted yard waste, since the impeller can reduce 16 bagsrsquo; worth of leaves to one bag. p bClean and Efficient with Electric Power/bbr Compared with gas blowers, electric blowers are quieter, more eco-friendly, and require less maintenance. They start up instantly without requiring you to master a finicky pull cord. There's no messy gas-oil mixture to worry about, and you don't have to contend with noxious fumes to get a job done. p This high-powered blower also weighs in at a very manageable 7.5 pounds, making it easy on your back. p This blower/vac is backed by a full two-year warranty. p bWhat's in the Box/bbr Power unit, blower tubes, vac tubes, vac bag, and operators manual. br clear="all" table align=center width=150 cellpadding=20 tr td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q4_2008/toro_B000H1Y4EK-ls.jpg" border=0brbrspan class="caption"centerEven a large yard is easy to clean up with this blower./center/span /td /tr /table br clear="all"

 Great Product November 23, 2008
T. Martin
This is a great little blower/vacuum. It is very light for how much power it has. The metal impeller devoured pine cones without a problem. The variable speed does come in handy for when you don't want to blow things too far and make a mess.
Toro Ultra Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum November 23, 2008
Thomas G. Mccormick (Fayetteville, GA USA)
A great machine. The best I've ever owned. The variable speed makes it handy when blowing leaves to cover tree and bush bases. The vac is powerful enough to pickup acorns, and the metal impeller grinds them easily. The mulch it produces is finer than that produced by my walk-behind mulcher/vac.
HE BEST Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599 November 22, 2008

This Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599 is fantastic, by Far the BEST and should be the only one sold by TORO, the others I bought were not sturdy enough this one gets the job done and more... I am the envy of the guy nest door with his gas powered sorry unit. Thanks Toro for finally having this unit!
 Leaf Vacuum Rookie November 22, 2008
Bob Nigro
I've used this only as a vacuum. br / br /1) Very handy in places where there aren't enough leaves to create a large pile of leaves. br / br /2) Vacuuming a lawn isn't practical. I rake into piles and then use the vacuum to deal with piles. I empty the vacuum into a large dumping area in my yard. It's not clear that this actually is more efficient than placing the raked leaves into bags and having the bags hauled away. br / br /3) Maximum range is limited to 150 feet according to the instructions. And to get to 150 feet a 12 gauge extension cord must be used. For distances up to 100 feet a 14 gauge extension cord must be used. So plan on spending a lot on extension cords. In my case (I bought 150 feet of 12 gauge) I spent more on the cords than on the vacuum. Those orange heavy duty exension cords that you already own are only 16 gauge and 12 gauge cords are much more expensive than 16 cage cords.
Toro model #51599 November 22, 2008
Chuck (Western Colorado)
After breaking the plastic impeller of another Toro when I was using the vacuum function in a ditch, I purchased the Toro #51599 with the metal impeller. This is simply the best unit you can buy for less than $100. It is particularly suited for areas with numerous twigs and rocks. Superior power and very well-built. Amazon is always the best place to buy.
