Comment:
I bought my blower May 4,2004 (it was model 51591 back then)and it only lasted about 2 weeks and burned out. I took it in for warrenty and they replaced it but the nice man was stumped as to why it had burned out. When we discussed how I had been using it and the extension chord he suggested I look at the gauge and make sure it was strong enough for the machine. I was using two chords to go the length I needed which was 150 ft. & it turned out they were cheap and not the right gauge. (They were orange heavy gauge but they were 16 gauge and I went down to the heavier 12 gauge.) I got the right ones needed and the machine lasted from mid June 2004 until Sept 2011 when it broke. (I believe it had been dropped???) The machine would start but not blow. I bought another one and expect it to last longer as others won't have access to it. I used that blower during those years twice a week (2 houses) after cutting the lawns and weedwacking. Then in the fall it really got a work-out with both homes having huge amounts of leaves being mulched. I am 60 yrs old and in so-so shape and used this for up to 1 1/2 hr at a time....it was so light weight it was no problem. My old Craftsman hurt my back after 10 mins and didn't blow 1/2 as well. This is a great machine!

Composting leaves, This is it
12/9/2011
Pros
Metalmagnesium impeller
Perfect for sugar maples
Powerful
Cons
Must bag first
Best Uses
Mulching Leaves
Sugar maple leaves
Comment:
I insist on composting my leaves rather than blow them into the street. Sugar maples offer a real challenge for the Toro 51587 supervac can handle it. It uses a magnesium impeller that handles large quantities of heavy leaves without choking. I have to bag them and then spread them. By Spring the mulched leaves are gone.

Does a great job
Easy to Use
Powerful
Cons
Breaks Down
Best Uses
Blowing Leaves

Comment:
This blower worked great for two fall seasons.....was probably used 6 times. This fall.....zero....does nothing. Can't say this is a cheap price if you calculate it cost approx $12 each time I used it on an average sized yard. I could've paid someone to do it at that price. Waste of money.
