Can’t decide Toro or Black and Decker. Easy BLACK AND DECKER with the bag bar instead of zipper.
I am becoming an expert on Vacuum/Blowers. #1 Black&Decker(BD) lasted maybe 10 years. It was small, light and not very powerful. The on/of switch wore out on it. I repaired it myself several times and is was a Rube Goldberg of turning the machine on and off. A simple task designed in a complex manner. BD #2 LH5000, ooh what an improvement in the power department. I have pink clover ground cover and need to suck the tree leaves out of it. This would pickup stuff like hibiscus buds that fell off, that the old one would not. Just terrific, but it only lasted 3 years. I had sewn up the bag several times where it connects to the machine, put duct tape around it for added support. But in the end it was the on/off was the issue. There is a tiny slot that either the vacuum or blower pieces need to push it to allow it to go on. A safety switch Not too much in and not too little in though. Became a fidgety machine with a leaking bag, so I replaced it with a Toro.
Huge mistake, not only is the same rated wind power Toro not able to pick up what the Black and Decker could do, but the bags last weeks, not YEARS. I am talking bag one lasted maybe 10 uses, but was tearing after 2 uses. The zipper gave way and became useless. The next bag lasted 3 uses and the zipper broke. Toro is absolute JUNK. Thin bags with zippers from light spring jackets.
So the Toro lasted 8 months and is now permanently the blower and the new BD is the vacuum, so I don’t have to change the tooling. So get the BD and get the one with the bar on the bag instead of the zipper, because it will not break. Also, if you are dragging the bag on the ground it is the hard plastic instead of the cloth and zipper that take the abuse. You have to get the bag bar. The downside is after a few hours in the miserable heat the last thing you do is empty the bag, and it takes some strength sometimes to get the bar to slide off. Its okay to say FORGET IT. Go take your shower and empty the bag tomorrow. Mostly it is fine though. Its powerful and well designed.

Great- But bag is coming apart
Update: I now can rate this product as 5 stars since I contacted customer support from a link on this product from Amazon. They were fantastic in correcting the problem I had with a defective mulching bag. They sent me a new bag! Wonderful customer service. I highly recommend this product.**************I have used this Black and Decker Vacuum/Mulcher now 2 times and love it. It's a real time saver for me and I always mulch my leaves. I don't really use the white bags but they are nice.But the problem is the collection bag. It's really awful and coming apart after 30 minutes of use. Help Black and Decker!!! I paid extra for the bag with the removable bar to make emptying the leaves easier- and it does. But this bag worries me. Will B&D replace or will I have to buy one? I'd hate to return this item just because of the bag!5 Stars if the bag was better. I would buy again.

Fantastic!

This mulcher is absolutely fantastic!! It is a bit heavy, but works terrific. I’m glad I went with the metal blade impeller because I have a lot of twigs and it broke them up easily.Heather M BeztilnyFantastic!

Terrible with "damp" leaves
Style: 3-in-1 Leaf BlowerVerified Purchase
I have had this device for 8 months and have used it extensively in very different environments. As long as your leaves are dry it works quite well. However if your leaves are damp, not wet, just damp the impeller gets clogged with very small debris and it causes the machine to stop any suction. I have tried everything to prevent this but nothing seems to help. See the photos I have included. Again the blower part is powerful and works great but the suction part in damp leaves is terrible. Keep in mind that fall is when you need this device for leaves is the fall when it gets rainy and has a lot of dew which makes the leaves damp.David MartinTerrible with "damp" leaves
