I hate bagging my grass clippings.  In the hot summer sun, the last thing I want to do is stop mowing my lawn to empty the bag and start up again.  The airborne grass clippings always seem to get stuck on my sweaty arms and legs and, well, it’s not a pretty picture.

Frustrated, I started looking around for a decent blower/vacuum to make my grass clipping the street department’s problem.  After a lot of research, I found the Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum and couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

With 12 Amps of power, this blower/vacuum has enough power and versatility to tackle nearly every clean-up chore, from blowing grass clippings to blowing out leaves from my gutters.  With wind speeds up to an amazingly awesome 235 miles per hour, this blower has got some serious range!

I really enjoy how quickly you can switch to the vacuum setting without tools.  For instance, a few weekends ago, I took the blower to the roof to clean my gutters.  When I got off the ladder, I needed to do something with all the renegade leaves.  With a quick flip to the vacuum setting, I was able to suck those leaves into much like they were going out of style.  The serrated metal blades on the leaf/debris impeller really helped to reduce the number of yard waste bags I needed for a job, turning what would have been about 15 bags of leaves to 1 measly bag (thus eliminating the need to stop, empty the bag and start up again).

The Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum has a variable speed motor to help meet all of your tough lawn chore needs.  I can’t recommend this blower/vacuum enough!
