What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the snow blower for powerful performance, reliable starting, and intuitive controls. Most highlight its ability to throw snow 20 to 35 feet and handle deep, wet, heavy snow with ease. Many emphasize consistent first or second pull starts even in cold weather. The joystick chute control, zero-turn radius, and responsive steering are frequently called game-changers compared to older models. A few users reported isolated issues like chute leaks or pulling to one side, but these were vastly outweighed by positive experiences. Overall, reviewers consider it an exceptional, durable machine.

The best Snowblower I've Ever Had

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do extensive research before buying any major product. When it came time to replace my 19 year old 2-stage (basic) snowblower, I wanted one that offered most of the things I wished my old one had. - it had to have a manageable but sufficient path width. For me, a 24" is too small, while 28" is too cumbersome. Moving a 26" machine is just right for me. Think Goldilocks! - it had to have sufficient power. All I can say is: WOW, doe...

This winter its been a nightmare for snowblowing. Major dumps of deep wet sticky snow. But the Toro handled it well. Started with one pull every time. I got what I wanted from this machine.

Q.C. HMMMM ?

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All in all not a bad snow blower. Q.C. COULD BE BETTER , one tire was NOT properly inflated( low air ). That made the blower pull to one side.

Product fine. Delivery not fine.

Would Recommend

Snowblower is as expected but delivery was a problem. It was supposedly in stock when I ordered it and scheduled delivery. Then they said they didn’t have it so it was delayed. It was supposed to be assembled prior to delivery. They call day of the delivery to say it wasn’t assembled but they were delivering anyway. I said I wanted it assembled so I had to tell delivery guys when they showed up around 8:30 at night (hours later than expected) and had to tell them to take it back. Delivery coordi...

Plastic chute

I would not recommend this snow blower as the chute body is made from PLASTIC which can easily crack. Buy a metal one especially if you have a gravel driveway
