Toro-38753M 721 E Power Clear Single Stage Snow Blower

I purchased the Toro 721E right before an 18 inch snow fall in the Northeast section of the country. Being a senior citizen of female gender, I was pretty nervous about how well it would handle the aforementioned amount of snow. I didn't wait until the snowfall stopped because I wasn't sure if the snow blower could handle snow beyond a foot. I went out after approximately 8” had fallen and I must admit, I was thrilled with how it started with the first pull. It zipped through the snow quickly and with ease. Living on a cul de sac, the plow trucks leave large mounds of snow in front of my drive way. This blower had no issues with clearing it away. My neighbor was so impressed with it that he came over and took a picture of it and asked where I purchased it. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. I love the fact that I can start it manually or with the assistance of electricity. It runs smooth and doesn't make a lot of noise. It slices through snow like butter. I also like the fact that you can change the spark plug without dismantling the whole machine. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't clear the snow down to the pavement. You have to go over the same area several times to achieve that effect. I also don't like that the paddles are made from a cheaper rubber than their past models. In spite of some flaws, I would highly recommend this snow blower. It is a BEAST.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powered through a foot of snow which was quite the surprise to me. Was an adjustment at first going from a 2-Stage Snowblower to the paddle driven system but I like the fact that it gets down to the pavement. Folds down and fits in the back of a CRV weighing only 84 lbs. which is a huge plus when going to help others Love It!
