I’m have the gas powered version and most snow removal companies carry this model in their trucks. It will not clog under its intended use case. It can also handle slush with ease.
I used a "flapper" style 2stroke toro almost just like this in the 80s... The snow shoot was just a set of direction veins at the top. It was light enough that if you had a multi foot snow drifts you could pick it up and shave the drift down in a few passes. Not sure if you could pickup and swing this one? Thanks for the review.
@@ALLElectricChannel indeed... The one I used had just two straight rubber "blades"... Versus the curved one on this unit. Probably different because your unit has a central snow shoot, so the curved blade directs snow to the center. Where as the one I used had a continuous row of a dozen "snow shoots" which were just more rubber veins that could bend to the right or left to control direction. I like this style because it is nearly a snow sweeper brush and gets down to the pavement. And while it can also throw your grass or gravel, those are usually very solid and frozen under the snow. And you could always drive the blower on the wheels with the flapper blade raised an inch or so to avoid making contact, but then you had to provide all of the forward force v cause the flapper wasn't pulling the matching forward when it isn't making contact with the surface. I don't live where I need one of these, but if I did I would definitely consider something like this. I'm very curious how much it weighs and if you think you could lift it and "swing it" along a deep drift? I used to use that trick on snow so deep that even a multi stage auger type matching would be hard pressed to clear a path. Being light weight meant something like this could be lifted or could ride on top of a drift and knock it down by repeating a path a dozen times...
interesting straight vs. curved blades. I wonder if the curved blades will clog less than the straight? Will be interesting to see. ...I think with two big batteries inside it is a bit heavy to lift and swing.
@@ALLElectricChannel the thing with the straight flapper blades is that there was nothing to clog... The whole blade simply shoved the snow up into a wide set of directional veins at the top of the housing that was the full width of the rotating blades... Unlike the central snow shoot on your model...
My gas powered Toro works the same way and have had it 25 years still starts second pull, I’m thinking of replacing it for an electric start and looked at this unit but battery life expectancy and price of $350-$400 for a new battery was a deal killer for me. I’ll stick with gas
It’s a dud. I had mine for 8 days and was my third time using when it suddenly stopped and started beeping. Fortunately the dealer took it back. I ended up getting a Toro 821 QZE 4-Cycle instead for $250 less.
My machine did the exact same thing. I got a total of 8 minutes out of it before the beeping started. Not impressed. It's currently at the local toro dealership. I'm kinda hoping I have the option to get something different. I would entertain getting the 821 also.
Typically I get these products for review from the company. I never take any money for these types of reviews and the companies don’t get to see or have a say in the content. They see it first right along with all of you.

Nice! Now it’s time to switch to electric ⚡️ 😉
Youll be selling that once you get about a foot of snow

I know they have sold (for awhile) a gas powered model that is the same as this one.

Get an electric Snow Joe corded 18 inch model, for around $200. They work amazingly well

do get the products for free or write off everything on your taxes as 'expenses' and then resell what you don't need
