Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum

With Spring just about here, we've been in the market for a nice electric leaf blower. Our research has led us to this Toro; it has some cool features and for what you get, the price is right.

Like a lot of electric blowers, the Toro does double duty as a vacuum as well. But this one also has a shredder function that turns leaves and debris into mulch. According to Toro, the shredder can convert 16 bags of leaves into a single bag of minced organic material.

The variable-speed Toro comes with a bag, a shoulder strap, and two nozzles.

It also looks like this product has a large number of satisfied customers. Over at Amazon, there are 176 customer reviews with an average of 4.5 stars. The consensus is that it's light and powerful. The Toro sells for about $70, which puts it right in the middle of the other 12 amp electric blowers out on the market.
