BMurrelle's Full Review: Ultra 235 Electric Blower
On my way to the store, I was wondering what to purchase simply to remove rubble and leaves from my condominium patio...a small area.
When I browsed through the garden department, I was amazed at the number of blowers on the market today, priced from $29.99 to up in the hundreds.
Being a single female, how was I to know what to purchase? I simply wanted something to eliminate weekly sweeping of my patio.
Finally, I decided to purchase the Toro Electric Blower.
After using it I was thrilled with my choice, wondering why I had waited so long to make a difficult job easy. That is exactly what this Blower did for me.
An extension cord is needed with the blower. I use a 15-ft. cord which serves its purpose in the small area outside my condo. It easily blows away all debris.
The Toro Blower does the work. All I have to do is walk around, carrying it with me, and pointing it directly at what I want to eliminate from the scene. Since this product is light weight, that is no problem whatsoever.
This blower is one I'd recommend for single women, and for light yard jobs...absolutely terrific. That is not to say that it will not function with versatility.
I can only share my experience, and that happens to be 'light' work. Or, maybe I think it is light compared to the previous sweeping. Definitely, the Toro Blower makes out-of-doors work easier.
Have you ever purchased something, thinking, "This is something I need, but I do not necessarily 'want' it?" Me, too. Today I can't believe that I didn't 'want' it.
By the time I had used the Toro one time I couldn't imagine simply 'needing' it. I actually enjoyed the magic that it presented in such a brief time.
While using it, ascertain that any extension cord used with your Toro Blower is for outside use only. Also, I wear safety glasses while using this product. Since it works well, I do not want it to work well in MY direction. Additionally it is necessary to keep items such as clothing and fingers away from the moving parts.
This instrument is made for blowing debris out of the way, but 'careful.' It will blow any light-weight object out of sight in a jiffy.
When using this product, do not expose it to water, sharp edges, oil or heat, though it is free from any defects. Simply apply safety to any electrical appliance...especially this one since it is serviceable out of doors.
When you have completed the work, your yard will have a new and different blow-by-blow description...no question.
