          There's no reason to buy any other snowblower
          I live in buffalo NY. I've had this snowblower for a few years and it has never let me down. We just got 4 feet of snow and once again it came through for me. I cannot recommend it enough. I see bigger and more expensive blowers but I don't see why anyone would need one.

            Starts right up
            Im really surprised how easy this toro starts up. Usually one pull does it. This snow machine is surprisingly works well in drifting snow.

              I haven't used it yet. No Snow, this is early October 2021. But if it works a great as my last Toro, I will be happy. I did take it out of the box and started it up and everything seemed fine. Lets wait for the snow.

                  Love this little guy. I’ve used it for snow up to 6-7 inches with no problem. Struggles when you get to the harder piles from the plows. I rated it a little lower because the cap that goes over the spark plug does not stay in. I needed to push in a stick so it stays in place so I can use the snowblower. I will contact Toro after the winter.

                  Feb. 2019 snow in northern Wisconsin broke all records. Over three feet. Sure I wish I had a bigger one. This one fit the bill for my budget and storage space and did a very good job at opening paths and clearing a small driveway. Just had it a few weeks now and it's moved a lot of snow. The long throw helps a lot too.

                  Perfect size for clearing walks in front of business. Much better than shoveling.

                  The blower was easy to assemble. The instructions are not that complete and leaves too much room for guess work. The operation of the thrower is not impressive. The price of the unit was on the lower end of the blowers that were available and you get what you pay for. The engine seems to run a little rough idling and struggles when loaded. I've had other snow blowers and this is not my favorite but, all in all, it gets the job done for around the house
