With a huge amount of leaves to collect I need a good vac/mulcher. The Toro is light and fairly powerful & comparable to my old Black & Decker Master vac. The Toro blows well considering its lower wattage, but the B&D still beats it on this score. However the blower requires two sections to fit it to the machine body - fiddly but manageable with practice. I'm a little skeptical of the 16:1 mulching ratio claim - seems more like the standard 10:1 to me. But where this machine scores is with the leaf collection cart - 130 litre capacity. You have to pay more but the machine would be pretty run of the mill without it and it saves a lot of time between empties. I recommend using several pop up Bosmere skips to help save more time. Overall it is rather pricey & better at vacuuming & mulching than blowing, but fantastic for a large garden with many large trees.
