Last Updated on January 19, 2019 by Cassie Lyons
The warmth and joy of summer will soon come to an end, replaced by the cool breezes and beautiful colors of fall. Eventually however those beautiful fall colors will all turn brown and end up on your lawn. Why head outside and waste hours raking leaves into piles and compiling enough bags to build a small castle in your front yard when you can have the Toro 51599 Variable-Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum. This Toro Leaf Blower not only blows leaves into piles faster than raking, it minimizes the number of bags that result thanks to its vacuum and chopping functions that break down the leaves into bits. The blower is lighter and cleaner than similar gas blowers.
The Toro Blower and Vacuum is actually three tools in one with a leaf blower, vacuum, and shredder. In leaf blower mode the Toro can put out 235 mph of wind to blast leaves in the biggest yards into one pile. Once the leaves are collected the Toro shifts into vacuum and shredding mode, sucking leaves in through a bigger tube and shredding them, reducing as many as 16 bags worth of leaves down to one bag. The best part of all, this model runs on electric power and features a cord lock to prevent the cord from detaching in the middle of a job.
