Other than a slight weight (10 v 7.4 lbs) blower power differences and a few plastic nossles, what are the differences between this and Toro 51609?

the 56109 also has a metal impeller for the mulching, which is much tougher than the plastic one of this model.

Barbara, Most local power equipment shops (think commerical and residential mowers, string trimmers, large snow throwers) have service departments that will repair any issues should you have a problem with this blower. I owned two of the models before the BBX7600N and they served me well besides a faulty insulator gasket issue that Makita seems to have cleared up by reinforcing them on the newer models. Keep your gas clean, change your oil as suggested and you shouldn't have any issues with this blower.

I have a 51702T which may be last years model and it fits perfect and does have a longer run time.I can't tell a big difference in power but it goes about twice as long on a charge.I use mine as a deck sweeper more than for leaves so I don't have to move stuff off the deck to sweep it with this blower.

The difference is strictly how many components can be hooked up to it. I believe the H10 is 250 watts and the H15 is 400 watts. They both perform the same for power conditioning and component protection. I bought two H15 units out of an ubundance of caution, when I had more power-hungry components. I've never gone above 50% of the H15's capacity, and as new components become more efficient the percentage will continue to drop. If I was buying one today, I'd be much more likely to select an H10 than before.

between it and an edger, I'd go with the edger. However, when my edger broke I used the Toro with no problem. It has a guide which is helpful, but had a tendency to go off line. When that happens the edges were not as nice and straight as the blade edger. I think with a little work it would be an easy replacement for an edger.

I'm not certain which units you are comparing but when I purchased the Mr. Heater 5639 I found that the unit was more conplete,internal blower etc, and eaiser to install. I am very happy with my unit. I followed the included instructions and passed City inspection with no issues.

I have the digipro with the 4 amp hour battery. I think it's great it actually blows like a real blower. Not having to deal with a gas engine or extension cord is great. I also bought the 14 inch digipro chainsaw(which I also like a lot) so now I have two batteries. On full high the blower lasts close to 30 minutes which is plenty. Plus the lithium ion battery holds a charge well. I don't have experience with the lower cost one, but I think the digipro is more than worth the extra money.

Not certain; best to ask sales rep. If you do purchase blade, it does not have Toro name, but performs well.

Oops. I didn't look closely at the picture associated with your question. The model I bought (and thought the question was about) was the smaller one--the power shovel. The spec list says this one is 25lbs. Sorry. It seems that someone wanted to show all the small Toros on one page, and yet, the smaller one is really a different machine. Good luck with your quest.

seems okay. i replaced a Craftsman Blower bag with your Toro bag. The Craftsman bag didn,t stand up, to the lawnmower running over it!

I've owned the Toro 1800 older model (38025) for around ten years. Live in the snow belt of Northern Michigan (we had nine inches today) and have a driveway with afton stone. My faithful Toro has done a great job of clearing the snow from my drive all these years, but the other day had one stone too many and I cracked the blades. I can get replacement blades and have it fixed (and probably will) but am also seriously looking at the newer model 38371. I looked at the Worx, which has steel blades, but Toro has been so trouble free over all these years, that I'll stick with the brand. BTW, it easily handles 12 inches of dry snow and can even carve through drifts with a bit of patience on the operator's part. EDIT: As it turned out, it would cost me $150 to have my old Toro fixed. No brainer: ordered the 38371 and happy dance, it will be here this Saturday.

I have an 1800. I use a 12/3, for my 100' driveway. I live in the Northeast. I am very happy with this blower because it will throw the slushy and wet snow without clogging, my 2 stage gas powered 10 horse machine will always clog. In fact I find no need for the big gas powered thing, haven't touched it for about 4 years. I cannot tell the difference between the cords when I have used a 12/3 or 14/3 or 16/3. This is why I use a 12/3....Think of the electric cord as a "garden hose", and you are trying to force 120 gallons per minute through the hose. Which will be easier forcing 120 gallons through a 1/2" hose or through a 1" hose. The 1" because there is less resistance to flow because the inside of the hose is wider. So if the Toro 1800 is trying to draw 120 volts (household current), which will be easier?... through a 16/3 guage (small narrow cord) or the thicker 12/3 (wider cord). So that means your Toro 1800 won't be working as hard with the larger cord 12/3, and it will let the motor last longer. The draw backs are that the 12/3 is heavy at 100' feet in length. Also more "work" for the blower to draw current through 100' than it is across 50 feet. So I installed a lamp post with an outlet half way up my 100' driveway. Still trying to be nice to the electric motor so that it will last longer. Now with the lamp post, I use about a 60-70 foot "12/3 cord". My only other advice is try to make sure there are no rocks on your driveway. They have a habit of jamming in the auger, stopping the augers movement, while the electric motor is still trying to turn the paddle/auger. I did burn out a Toro 1800 motor this way.

The main difference between the two is on how it switches from blower to vacuum/mulch modes. With the WG508, the blower nozzle needs to be removed when switching to vacuum/mulching mode, and the supplied mulching bag replaces it. Then the vacuum nozzle is to be attached on the other opening (can be easily figured out what/where it is). With the WG502, no dis-assembly is required, for the same nozzle acts as either a blower or a vacuum/mulcher. There is a mode switch that allows for such transition. Another difference worth noting is the Mulching Power of either unit. The WG508 is rated at 16:1 while the WG502 is 18:1. If the owner prefers leaves to be crunched into smaller pieces which equates to fewer lawn bags or better composting, the WG502 is the clear choice.

i think it is the same model. Both are 2700 psi. Same your money and buy a better unit. Generac customer service stinks and Amazon will not refund on this unit due to the manufacturer warranty. Mine has been at the repair shop for a month. I have not been able to use it since delivery. The engine was no good. They sent another engine but it was the wrong one. Still waiting.
