No sourced tester review yet.
Two whitelisted testers cover this exact model. Pro Tool Reviews names the Toro PowerJet F700 its Best Corded pick for strong 725-CFM airflow, light 6.6-lb weight and a roughly $80 price. Reviewed hands-on tested it and praises its astonishing airflow and balance, but keeps it off its top list, flagging that it is one of the noisier blowers in the sample and has a hard-to-adjust one-handed speed dial. Neither source reported its own F700-specific lab measurements. (2 sourced reviews, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Powerful airflow for a corded blower (725 CFM / 140 MPH per Pro Tool Reviews); Lightweight and well-balanced (~6.5-6.6 lb); Strong value at roughly $80.
Flagged: Loud — one of the noisier blowers in Reviewed's test sample; Speed dial is difficult to adjust one-handed; Rear wrap-around air intake can suck in loose clothing.
