Can it be use to suck up leaves from gutter, and can it be use without filter bag?

I would not try to suck the leaves out, would be better to blow them out. Might take a leave blower to do that. Would not recommend using with out a filter as it would get trash in the motor and shorten its life.

I don't really have any leaves. But id say if you wanted decent blowing power go with a gas blower. You want something strong enough to move leaves when wet and I can guarantee this blower won't. I use this to clear grass clippings and that's about all.

The bags would work well. You may still have to clean yur filter, but the vac with the peper bags inside works well and picks up just about anything.

The bag serves as the filter. Another thing to consider. The part of the canister that holds the bag is attached by a twisting motion on the vac. I have had a lot of problems with the canister simply popping open while using the vac. It is a real annoyance. The vac has plenty of power, but with the canister constantly popping apart while in use, I find it practically useless.

I'm not aware of a separate attachment for cleaning gutters. If you can get to your gutters easily, I see no reason why you couldn't use the Toro.

No it would not. Would most likely get caught up into the gutter. There is a gutter accessory for the blower, made exactly for cleaning out gutters. The only time this would not be needed is if you have gutter covers that are secure and you are just blowing off debris from the top of the gutter cover.

I've only used it to clean out my pellet stove, I would use a rake or leaf blower for leaves.

Yes, I do use it for this. I find it best to use it without a tool attached to the long tube. It does fill up with hair and dirt pretty quickly, so watch for this and empty the dirt container so that the suction will keep up. It is lightweight and this is why I bought it. It is noisier than I expected. When the dirt container is close to filling up, the litter will start leaking out of the long tube, so empty the dirt container. Although the cloth filter at is washable, I find it just shakes clean very easily.

John,I find the bag lets a lot if dust out....BUT it'll mulch just about anything you put thru it. For a small property like mine(110x40) it does all I ask it to. I will say this...the blower is really good, very powerful for such a small plug in but the suck on it is just ok. Wasn't expecting much from that...although it will suck up a ton of stuff directly beneath the opening...not much range. The bag attaches tightly but it's annoying to remove and empty.Hope it was helpful.

I have used the blower to remove wet leaves, and it works reasonably well if they aren't too badly matted down. If they are badly matted, it can be slow going, and you might have to help the blower with the more stubborn mats. It's also easier to do this from the top of a ladder than it is from the ground, using a curved tube.

That is how I use mine to clean the gutters. Just be careful setting it down since they cannot take much side load.

It does not work as a regular vacuum cleaner where the dirt goes in a bag or so.... it sucks the dirt pass it through the hose out... I filter the dirty water and the clean water goes in a separate container so it can be used again.

A reusable bag comes with it. Unzip it to empty. But the fact that it is battery powered means it will not work well enough to actually deal with a small pile of leaves.

I have used it to blow the gutters clean.The nose fits inside the gutter and worked well blowing the leaves out of it. Our gutters are not level it also blew the water toward a downspout. It was nice not having a cord to get caught under shingles etc. I'm 59, I have to remind myself not to go to fast and run (fall) off of the roof.

Yes, it would work very well for that. You can use it with or without a large leaf bag.

Mine does not look like it can use a leaf bag. Has 2 internal filters which are very easy to clean.. We really like our unit.

i think it will do a good job of the leaves. Just be aware of the collection bag it seems that the stitching at the end where it connects to the plastic fitting opens up. I have read about this happening to other people but it did not stop me from buying it. I purchased an upolstery sewer it is a very cheap tool and it took care of the problem GOOD LUCK
