Title: Motor burned out
Product review: I have the previous model, 51598. I used it about 4 times over two years at my house. I turned it on for the first time this year, and after a minute or two, I heard the RPMs reducing, smelled something like burning plastic, and saw smoke coming out of the motor vents. The bag was empty, there was nothing in the tube, and the impeller turned freely and was undamaged. I called Toro and they said it was probably the extention cord's fault. It's out of warranty, and they don't sell a replacement motor. So at $70, that comes out to $17.50 per use. If you're going to throw it away and buy a new one every two years, you might as well get a cheaper one.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
