HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I use this product repeatedly with my Toro Blower/Vacuum and it works perfectly in sucking up debris (leaves, garden waste). It is well made and rugged, so it will take a fair amount of abuse. Installs easily on the blower/vacuum and locks in tightly so it doesn't move.

Really works!

I had my doubts that this would work better than the stock funnel that came with the leaf blower/vacuum. But that little blue ring with teeth shredded leaves like crazy reducing my large pile of leaves and small twigs into a large black trash bag of finely chopped items.

Great Improvement

I installed this new tube on my older model Toro and was pleased with the improvement in performance. It definitely made a difference in the reduction ratio for the leaves in my yard.

Works great. It does clog but I'm overly happy with it and used it on all my leaves this past fall.

Good replacement

I broke the original attachment that came with my Toro Leave blower/vac, and this seems to be the only way to get a replacement vacuum attachment. This is the upper part of the attachment only, not the bottom part. If you look at your current vacuum attachment, you will see that it is two parts that hook together, this is the top part, so if you broke the hook that snaps onto the power unit, this will work for you. If you broke the bottom of the tube, this will not work as a replacement. Also, it seems to chop up the leaves into finer pieces as advertised, though that isn't the reason I bought it.

Makes big leaves into smaller leaves.

It works as advertised. It does make big leaves into smaller diameter cuttings. Allows for more compaction in my leave and garbage bags. If you fill the bag up it will be much heavier. The trade off is space inside the trash/recycle bag for increased volume and weight.

Thought in was Genius!

I accidently damaged the previous attachment and was just desperately looking to replace the funnel without having to purchase the entire motor assembly as well! So when I saw this, I was relieved. I say that there seemed to be an added advantage in what then called a "shred ring," but to be honest, I wasn't paying much attention. I just needed a replacement! When it arrived, I opened the box to find the attachment inside. I looked at the "Shred ring" and I quickly fond that it did not move at all! I couldn't imagine how it would help seeing that it was stationary and would not move like a blade would. How can this help, I thought if it doesn't rotate? It was then that I attached it to my machine and got to work. I still didn't think much of the special "shred ring" until I caught hold of a group of leaves that had stuck together and clogged the machine. However, in clearing the funnel, I noticed that when the leaves were being sucked into the blade from the outside walls of the funnel because of the centrifugal force involved in the vacuum! Around and around they go, pushing themselves against the side of the tube right into the path of the "shred ring" with its immovable teeth! There was no avoiding those teeth, and with the force of suction on them and the rotation, I realized that the teeth were chewing the leaves into smaller bits even before the main propeller blade even got a chance! I really saw why those teeth did not need to move; I thought at that time that it was so simple it was genius! Of course, nothing is perfect, but it does do a better job on mulching the thin leaves, and this, of course, may save the longevity of the blade in time, I hope!S

Works exactly as advertised!

Believe the hype. I've been a fan of the Toro electric leaf blower/vacs for many years, but this device takes the efficiency of our Toro blower/vac to a whole new level. With the new piece installed leaves are shredded to the size of confetti. They are shredded so fine we are recycling them as mulch rather than hauling them to the dump for recycling.

Works as advertised.

I do see a difference in the vacuumed leaves being smaller and I can put more in the leaf bags.
