Great and Powerful Oz...I Mean Blower
935263
I own two, one for the RV and one for home.  This baby will clean off an RV pad and site in no time...does a pretty good job on the pesky spider webs under the camper, as well.  At home, with a 100' cord, I can do the entire front half of the property from the front porch, and a good bit of the back half from the back deck, without having to re-plug down at the shop.  Don't know how well they will last, but I grew up with the Toro brand being top of the line, so I hope that hasn't changed.

Amazing blower with great power, and not to heavy to carry.  I love it.

Received my BV6000 black/decker blower & and tested it today. Super powerful blower motor, quick and easy switch out blower to vacuum. Vacuum works very well in hard to rake places like flower beds and ground level work. But, if you expect to vacuum up a PILE of leafs, grab the rake and bag and save your self a lot of time. Don't get me wrong, it is capable but it's slow. And your constantly emptying the mulched bag. Like I said, works well on thin layers of leafs, where in my case are tons of pecan leafs and stims. It's built heavy duty and will last a long time, pending you don't suck up too many small stones (not even the heavy metal blade will survive that treatment) Dule speed is great. Sound is about like my 90mph weed eater blower. Very pleased.

It simply is an awesome hand blower. I dry my motorcycle electrics off after a bath, blow my shop floor clean before maintenance work on vehicles, use it at work to dust equipment...a versatile, powerful and small power tool. I'm glad I purchased it. With a high capacity battery, it is expensive, but worth it.

This blower is well made and seems to do well. I've only used it once so far, and it did a good job of blowing off my driveway. The first test was my driveway after a rain/wind storm. The driveway was very wet with lots of Fir tree needles and cones, Maple seeds and dead earthworms stuck to it. I had to get closer than I thought I would to get them to blow off, but that's to be expected in wet conditions.
This is a replacement for a burned out Toro brand blower I had. I believe they are just about a match performance wise, even though the Toro claims a much faster air speed. The volume of air being moved makes up for the slower air speed.
The unit is light weight, handles well but could be a bit longer in the nozzle area. It is quite loud so hearing protection is a must in my opinion. I found the cord lock to be a bit clumsy and it doesn't work well with a larger diameter cord. The switch is located very well, but I'm not fond of the "feel" of it, it could be more positive acting.  Make sure to use an extension cord suited for the 12 amp load as this may cause an over heat situation in the motor. I'm using a heavy duty 14 gauge cord rated at 13 amps for 100 feet of cord. I had a 16 gauge cord for the Toro and believe that is what led to it's early demise.
I give this blower 4 stars because of the items I consider negatives.

This machine has lots of power as a blower. I think it really excels as a mulcher. It has a metal impeller that appears to be very rugged and fit for the service. I had the previous model 51609 for three years. i burned up the motor about a week ago. I wanted to just replace the motor, but so far have not found the parts, so i just ordered a new machine as the leaves won't wait! I have found the easiest technique is to lay the machine on its side on the ground and just rake the leaves to the vacuum snout. the bag gets too heavy too soon for me to carry the whole assembly around. The amount of volume reduction vs. just hand bagging is incredible. The ad says 15  to 1, i think. I agree. You basically end up with what almost looks like dirt. OK, i am exaggerating, but the pieces are small and you'll not have a garbage can or plastic bag with some leaves and lots of air when you are done. It will just be organic stuff in tiny pieces.

Initial impression was very good for this blower. It's very sturdy, and seems to be made of high quality materials. There are no wobbles, creaks, or rattling. The trigger pull is very light and doesn't have any weird catches or roughness.

The trigger is a great distance from the handle! It's not too close, and it's not too far away so you have to extend your finger(s) very far to reach it. Also, you can hold it with 3 fingers (and your thumb...), pull the trigger with your index finger, and the handle does not touch your other fingers. I have average size hands for a man. Flow control is very good, and I am able to blow a small amount of air or a lot of air with easy modulation. I tend to blow less than I was intending, which means less chance of unexpected dust in the face.

Initially I thought the brass threads on the inlet were irregular, because the adapter I tried to put in didn't thread in. It felt like trying to thread an SAE bolt into metric threads. I was worried. But I decided to try with a wrench and see what happened. Thankfully it tightened down without much effort. I think the first thread of the brass fitting at the inlet was simply squished a little, which made it not want to thread in. After tightening, there are no air leaks.

The end on mine is very firm. At first I thought it was plastic, but I think it's just a very hard rubber. I have not yet decided if this will be a problem or not. Time will tell. I couldn't tell how to remove the 'rubber' end, but I didn't try very hard, and have no reason to remove it other than curiosity. It's also worth mentioning that the whole end piece, aluminum and rubber, rotates.

Conclusion: I am very happy with this blower, and it is a joy to use.

This thing is wicked powerful and will most likely be good enough for your needs. I use it solely for heating up coconut coals for my hookah though. It heats up fast and pretty evenly.

I also noticed that while in the off position it doesn't randomly turn on (like some other models) which is great, although I still unplug it after each use - just in-case!

I've only had it for about a month and a half, so I will update this review if anything fails in the next few months!

A good amount of "blow" and "go".  I wish the battery would last longer but for quick jobs (15 minutes or less), it does a great job, is so darn handy and with the adjustable airflow, is accommodating to various needs.

This is the second Toro Electric blower/vacuum that I have owned. We sold our first one when we moved from Massachusetts to California, because for whatever reason we didn't realize that we would get leaves on our tiny concrete patio just as we did in our enormous yard - and concrete patios are much more obnoxious to rake than grass since you get that fingernails on a chalkboard sound...

Unless I am doing something wrong, there is no way to switch back and forth with this one - you have to switch out the attachments. I wish there were a way to switch between the two settings without having to change the attachments.

That being said, this thing is very powerful, and it mulches leaves (and sticks, if you happen to vacuum them up - and tiny plastic chalk sharpeners, if your kids lose them in a pile of leaves...) perfectly while also being a nice powerful blower.

Great blower - but bear mind its not as powerful as the current gas counterparts at the same price range.

This little guy packs a big punch!

I originally purchased this particular ozone generator because it had a higher output than most of the ones I found on Amazon and elsewhere online.  I'm glad I did because this little unit can saturate a 1,200 square foot house with ozone in about an hour, completely eliminating mold odors.  I've also used this unit in a car and I've found that 20 minutes is more than sufficient for an effective treatment.

It's worth repeating: DO NOT USE this unit inside of a home or vehicle when people or animals are present.  Ozone is toxic even in small amounts.  These machines produce very large amounts of ozone in very short periods of time.  Ozone generators work by oxidizing odor-causing agents; they will not fix plumbing problems, roof leaks, or cure mold infestations.  High concentrations can also cause rubber to deteriorate, so use with caution.

Purchased this blower/vac for the incredibly large amount of leaves that are on my property.  I have used the vacuum part the most, and really pleased with how many leaves it picks up.  It doesn't do great with these huge 12" leaves I have, as they tend to get stuck or not suck up at all, but does great with oak leaves, and even picked up pine needles.  It seems to spit out anything it does not like (i.e .moss chunks that fall off the roof, small rocks).  I can even use it over my flowerbeds, and it picks up just the leaves and not the dirt.  It amazes me how well it mulches the leaves down.  I have limited space in my yard debris can, and this helps compact the leaves down so I can fit an incredible amount in the can.  Definitely make sure you have a good extension cord, as it does not come with more than approximately 6 inches of cord.  The blower works great as well, but I really think the vacuum part is the most useful feature.

Been working great. I can't say I "love it" but I definitely like it. What more can I ask for? It gets the job done. The blower feature works great and it sucks hard like expected. -A Solid 4 stars; maybe I'd give it a 5-star after having it for a few years and get back to you all.

Just super .. I use it to blow leaves etc. out of my garage and all the nooks and crannies where they hide.
Really surprised and pleased with the power.  What used to take an hour plus with brooms now takes minutes.
And when I was looking for blowers this (quality made) was inexpensive.

Used for the first time this week, Works perfectly, The air source is very powerful. So much so I went to my local hardware store and bought a "Y" drain pipe adaptor. I connected this to two 50' sections of drain pipe, anchored them at the end and I now have two air dancers in my vineyard. The air source seems to be strong enough to run at least two more. I plan to run two more sections the other way. If they do not work I plan on putting a air shut off valve on a intermittent valve timer to open and close at intervals to give the appearance of the air dancers moving about in the vineyard. Will update when done. The only drawback, weatherproofing the motor. I'm not sure how it will hold up if caught in an accidental rain. So I covered it with a well vented trash basket to protect it from a direct rainfall.

Bottom line Very effective, good value, great blower that be used for other things like drying out your basement or moving air "into" your shop. I would not use it to move air out of the shop if there is dust or other flammable products and motor spark could cause a flair up.
