Comment:
Purchased this model online at a box store. Received it and could not wait for the first snow. That came a couple of weeks ago and it was big just under a foot at my house. I was impressed with the single stage ability to clear to the surface. I was done with a much larger driveway (3 stall) than other neighbors were with just two. The snow itself was very wet and heavy so it could only throw the snow 8-12 feet but we I started re-blowing stuff that I had already thrown once the toro did not hesitate. This model is 4 cycle so you don't need to mix oil but the manufacturer recommends a fuel stabilizer. All in all I am very happy with the performance and value.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I live in an area where we average 250 of snow each season so I rely on my equipment. Having been a loyal Toro owner of this type of single stage snow blower for 25 years I bought this model base on past experience and CR's ratings. I am returning this product for 3 reasons:<br />1) The electric start broke on the first use, took 6 months for the electric start to be redesigned and manufactured before I could use it.<br />2) It will not start if kept outside under the cover I bought from Toro. I have had to keep it in a warm garage in order for it to start reliably.<br />3) When I got done removing snow from our latest snow storm, the unit died on me as I was returning it to the garage. After letting it sit for an hour I confirmed it had a full tank of fresh fuel and I could not get it to start either electrically or by pulling, so now it goes back to the shop. Toro did extend my warranty after the original electric start replacement, but all the warranty in the world doesn't help me remove snow.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
