Title: Toro Ultra big improvement
Product review: As a longtime user of Toro blower-vacs, I am very pleased with the new machine. The most important change is switching from a plastic to a metal impeller. It grinds up debris much more efficiently and, presumably, won't wear down from use the way the plastic impellers did. Also very useful is the variable speed control, especially when using the machine as a vacuum. You can set the suction so that it is not picking up materials that it shouldn't be or raise it higher to catch heavier materials. The only criticisms I have are that the system of switching from the blower to the vacuum function is awkward and difficult - you need a third hand to depress the unlocking mechanism - and having the electrical connection in the front of the machine when you're in the vacuum mode. It would be better to have it on a swivel or come out the side. Otherwise, it's great!
