Rated 1 out of 5??by Ed1933 Can not get it repaired and part not available for me to do it myself.
I was happy with the unit until it stopped working. Went to Dealer who said he could repair it but when I got there (40 mile round trip) he said that I could not obtain a new motor which apparently burnt up. He could not repair it and no one else in Denver area could repair it. No replacement motor is available!!!! I thought Toro was a good name but now think it is not a good buy.

Rated 5 out of 5??by JoyHope Busted up the Snowbank!
Just had one bad snowbank at the end of my driveway this year - heavy and wet - but by taking little "bites" of it I got it cleared. Took way less time and shovel-muscle to clear than shoveling. Thanks, God and Toro!

Rated 5 out of 5??by Guido Came in very handy this winter
First off, let me say that this is the replacement for a defective model. We had significant snow fall this winter. The first was a nice fluffy snow. It made short work of that. The second snow was quite heavy, and with a measured pace, it did a nice job. As long as you didn't try to over-do it, it handled removal pretty well. Much quicker than shoveling, that's for sure.

Rated 4 out of 5??by Benny1950 Great product for most snow removal.
We purchased this product because it is much easier to use compared to our old large 2-stage gas machine. To help with snow jamming (especially wet snow), I always spray a Pam like product in the chute before using - this takes care of most jamming. I have only used it several times, so I can't attest to the durability of the blades, etc. - but it is very easy to use, very light, and (after adjusting for being tethered with the cord) does a good job clearing our driveway and nearby walk areas.

Rated 5 out of 5 THIS SNOWBLOWER IS AWESOME had it for 3years
THIS SNOWBLOWER IS AWESOME! I have cleared out just about every type of snow up to 5 feet high! 1 of the biggest tricks about the snow blower is the higher the snow the more it out performs 2 stage in 1 stage gas snow blowers.
Check out my videos and then check out 2 stage gas snow blowers trying to take down 4 to 5 feet of snow. They have to use a shovel to knock it down first . This little snow blower is like a shovel and a snow blower in 1 it's as light as a feather!
The trick is to put the snow blower on top of the 5 feet of snow take off about 6 inches at a time it comes off like butter within a minute you're at the bottom it's just like vacuuming the snow :-)
1 tip is don't force it see video.

Rated 5 out of 5??by PIDave A real workhorse. Hard to believe it works so well.
Kudos to the engineers who designed this one. We get lots of snow in far northern Wisconsin. Due to health problems I got behind on clearing my 720 square foot deck, and had over a foot of snow to contend with. No Problem!! - with this machine. Saved my back, too. Thanks.

Rated 4 out of 5??by Lymond6 Lightweight and easy to use.
Atvantages of this blower is its light weight and ease of use. If the snow is damp, the blower funnel jams up occasionally, but it is takes seconds to unjam it. Because it is so light, you do have to bear down more than you would with a heavier model to guarantee all the snow is removed.

Rated 1 out of 5??by Dusty9 Not Recommended For Anyone
I used this once, it's sitting in the garage collecting dust. It's the worst performing equipment I ever used. It does not move even the lightest snow. I tried to return it and the vendor would not take back, since it was a 3rd party vendor thru Sears. Sears gave me some compensation after numerous attempts. Just a poor product.
