Snowblower Reviews

So Far - So Good
By Richard Pearson(Owner), Feb. 6, 2011
I bought a Toro 722E in November to replace a large single stage snowblower. I have over 200 feet of driveway 10 feet wide and I wanted a self propelled machine that could handle the Chicago winters. So far, this machine has the power to handle anything I have asked of it. After the Blizzard of 2011 I made the first run down the middle of my driveway in 3rd gear and it handled snow drifts up to 25" high without choking down. Even at the end of the driveway where the snow plows had packed and piled snow up, it had the power to chew away at the pile. It has taken me a little while to get used to the controls but it has the capacity to throw snow a good distance and the chute direction control is easy to use. It is relatively quiet and maneuverable. I have never used the reverse gear, when I want to backup I just release the drive handle and pull it backward. Up to this point I am very satisfied.

Terrible Chute Control
By J. Hebert(Owner), Dec. 30, 2012
I purchased this Snow Blower two years ago and from the first time it was used the exit chute has not worked properly; the worm gear is made of cheap plastic that is incapable of redirecting the chute. I complained to the dealer where it was purchased and they were somewhat disinterested in doing anything about it and basicly said you get what you pay for!! At $1,128.87 this is not chicken feed!! I spent 32 years in the Air Force and am quite adept at fixing things on my own or even coming up with an alternate solution; unfortunately, the design of this system is so cheap that it needs to be re-engineered completly. So since I cannot afford a new machine the only way I am able to re-direct the chute is by kicking it one way or the other. As for the power and size of this snowblower I would have to give it 5 stars, but unless Toro fixes the exit chute problem I would not waste my money on one!!
