Toro Power Sweep 51585

Pros
  • Quiet
  • Lightweight
  • Two speeds
  • Inexpensive
Cons
  • Plastic impeller, not metal
  • For hard surfaces only
  • Doesn't vacuum leaves
  • Extension cord not included

If you need to sweep off a patio or a small driveway, the simple Toro Power Sweep is a favorite of owners. It is lightweight (4.6 pounds), has two speeds and isn't terribly noisy. The highest sound level is a bearable 63.5 decibels, so the Toro Power Sweep is usable even in most communities with noise restrictions. For a more powerful (but still quiet) leaf blower that can also vacuum leaves, reviews recommend the Toro Ultra Blower Vac 51599 (*Est. $70) .

No professional reviewers cover the Toro Power Sweep 51585 or other leaf blowers this inexpensive. However, ConsumerReports.org does rate and rank three other Toro leaf blowers, and you can see how the brand rates and ranks compared to its competitors. In addition, lots of user reviews are available at retail sites such as Amazon.com and AceHardware.com.
