Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I own a corded Toro blower/mulcher combination that works great, but is so cumbersome to use and change from blow to vacuum mode, I never use it. I researched several similar cordless (battery) versions, and even though I knew it wouldn't be as powerful as the Toro, I wanted something light and cordless. I didn't know how well it would work (or for how long), but mine arrived today and it performed beyond ALL my expectations (plus I'll actually use this one, since it's lightweight and doesn't have a cord to deal with). I cleaned all around my house (even being able to blow the large pile of leaves I had made just as I was finishing up), cleaned off the sidewalks, blew years worth of spider webs off the sides of the house (thanks to the California drought), and out of my cypress trees and boxwood hedges. Blowing the spiderwebs off the sides of the house was almost laughably easy, and MUCH easier than with water (which made them stick to the sides). Then I blew out my garage and driveway and STILL had power (all this took maybe 20 minutes). At the end I decided to blow out my garden kitchen floor, and it still had so much power (after everything else) it even lifted the rug in front of the door off the floor after. I wasn't expecting that kind of power even at the beginning of using this on a charge, but at the end, surprised me. I'm very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's so lightweight and easy to use (and cordless) I'll be using it a few times a week instead of (grudgingly) twice a year. If something changes, or the battery charge or blowing power diminishes in time, I'll update my review then. In the meantime, I can't recommend this strongly enough.
