Customer Review: Does the job!
Summary: 5 Stars
Living in Marquette, Mich. for the past 4 1/2 years, having a snow blower is almost a must-have item. Being younger, shoveling didn't bother me the first few years, but after the first snowfall a few months ago I finally got sick of it (not to mention the back pain) and finally shelled out on the Toro 2450.
I researched different brands, two-stage and single-stage, and I don't have $1000+ to spend on some behemoth. It was either a low end two-stage Yard Machine, which had a few more convenience options I liked but I've never been a big fan of YM products (feel they're less reliable), or the single-stage Toro. After reading reviews, I went with the Toro. Now I say, "Bring on the snow!" because I'm having too much fun plowing my driveway!
This little machine has done a wonderful job so far. While we get around 200+ inches of snow each year, most of the snowfalls tend to be no more than eight inches at once and it's usually the powder stuff. The Toro has more than enough power to clear it out. And if we do get a rare massive 20+ inch dumping, I tend to be home enough that I can plow the driveway once or twice during the storm to prevent it from becoming too deep.
As for the wet, heavy snow, most of that I get right now is when the plow trucks go by and leave a pile at the end of the driveway. The other day I actually had about six inches worth sitting there. It took me a bit longer to push the snow blower through it, at times going slow as a snail (but it was still flinging the snow), but it got the job done. I did encounter one problem during this, though, and that's when I backed up and rammed into the pile of wet snow trying to speed up the process (because it was going so slow) and I guess it was too much for the paddles to handle and it shut off. But I pulled the cord and it immediately turned back on. The lesson is to just take your time with the wet stuff and it'll do its job.
The only other negative experience I had was when I first got the machine and set it up. It's very easy to set up. I followed the instructions on how to turn it on... gas/oil mix, put the choke to the right, press the primer button twice (holding it down for about a second), and then pulling the cord... and it the engine wouldn't start. Tried about 50 times and it didn't start. I finally took it to my local dealer and they looked at it. Turns out the spark plug got flooded from the primer button being pressed twice (and more times after they tried to turn it on). They told me to try turning it on first without using the primer. If that doesn't work, press the primer button once and try again, then press it again if that doesn't work, etc... Since then, I've only been pressing the primer button once when doing a cold start and it hasn't had a problem turning on. So don't overdo it with the primer.
Oh, one more thing I like. Since it's smaller, I can unscrew the arms and fold it up and put it in the back of my small SUV and drive it over to my friend's house to help her with her driveway. So I guess you could say it's portable, too.
This is the first snow blower I've owned and I love it. Living in a place that gets a lot of snow, this is one of the best investments I've made. The Toro 2450 is easy to use and packs a good punch without putting a huge dent in your wallet.
