Title: Great overall, but...
Product review: I purchased this model back in the spring to vacuum leaves that came down late fall/early winter in one of our flower beds. My old electric Toro model had served me well, but had lost considerable mulching and vacuuming power. The new model did a great job--the extra power and the metal blade (great idea!) made the job much easier. I have also been using it this fall as a leaf blower and vac. My only complaint, and it almost led me to take another star off of the rating (three instead of four) is that WHOEVER thought it was a good idea to put the zipper on the vacuum bag on the side rather than the bottom was an idiot. If you are dumping the mulched leaves into a paper leaf bag, as I do, it's nearly impossible to completely fill the bag without making a mess. My old Toro leaf vac had the zipper on the bottom, which made emptying the bag a breeze. Whoever thought that putting it on the side was an improvement must not use the product.
