Victa used tornado on many different bits of machinery
Assuming you mean the tornado mower, came out in the mid 00's, wafer thin steel chassis that flexes, cracks and rusts like mad unless used on a sandy lawn or kept spotless.
Motors include powertorque (very good), v40 chonda (average), tecumseh (alright but hard to get bits for now) and about 10 varieties of briggs.
If you mean the tornado trimmer, then a nasty POS that is rebadged chinese garbage with imploding pull starters and (quite a funny sight) a spate of exploding flywheels
If you mean the tornado lawn edger, an interesting design with a chinese motor where upon looking up replacement parts, victa themselves recommend removing motor and installing briggs 127cc - they do not stock parts. Yes, a $500 edger with the only engine part available being a $400 new motor haha Fortunately, the carby is fairly easy to get from ebay as thats the main failure point.
As you can probably guess, I would list victa in my least trusted brands unless you have an intimate knowledge of which things they make are any good
