I use the Ryobi 21" single stage blower and it is impressive too. Uses two 40V batteries. The auger is rubber and steel. The rubber parts are replaceable when they wear out.

It’s pretty amazing how much power these battery powered tools have. The technology has really advanced a lot in recent years. My 18” Hart has a similar auger to the Ryobi. I agree that it works very well.

Excellant blower, in fact we own 2 units. One is 3 years old and I've noticed wear on cutting edge which was surprising

I agree, it’s been excellent for us as well. How are the batteries holding up after the 3 years? Toro lists a service interval of 20 hours for the scraper blade, so it seems they would expect some wear in that timeframe.

@DAC_Reviews Battery holding up well. Last year 300in of snow, this year about 225in.

Do you know if the scraper is a replaceable part? Given it would wear off over time with constant normal usage

Welcome to my review of the Toro 60v snowblower. Let me know your thoughts on this thrower in the comments.

Used for 2 winters. Just started it for this winter 2 weeks ago on wet snow. It ran for 3 minutes and then stopped. It beeps but won't start anymore. Took it to repair shop. Motor drive was dead. Repair cost will be CAD$710. An new one wirh battery costs only $1,000. Decided to scrap it and bought an Ego snow blower which has 5 years warranty.

That’s a steep repair cost. The Toro warranty length is definitely a weak spot compared to some other manufacturers. Hopefully the EGO works out well for you.

They found that the motor driver was dead. Replacement part costs $510, labor $130. Total cost to repair will be $723 (13% HST tax included).

I've got a little 40v 18" Snow Joe blower that's almost 4 years old and underpowered. It was a $250 impulse buy, but I've used it quite a bit. I need something with more power and capacity, Toro and Ego (both in the steel auger variant) were the two I was going to choose between this fall before the 2024-5 winter hits; it's not so much about black Friday pricing as much as wasting 8-9 months of warranty (it's February 2024 at this time). Ace Hardware 2 blocks away is an authorized dealer for both brands. I have friends who own both so I've used both a little bit, and both have great performance. Some pros and cons: - Whjere I live, the closest Ego service center is 40 miles away. There are 4 Toro service centers within 10 miles, one being 2 miles away. That's really major to me. - Ego takes 2 batteries, and can be bought in a 2-batteries-included SKU. The Toro takes one battery (in the steel-auger model), and isn't sold in a 2-batteries-included SKU. I like to help some older and disabled neighbors when I can, so I want more batteries in a bundled SKU. Maybe Toro will update the steel auger model this year, maybe not. - Ego has a much longer snowblower warranty, 5 years vs 2. That's also really major. Battery warranties are equal at 3 years. - Neither has heated handles (the newer updated Ego with rubber paddles - which I don't want - does have heated handles). I have great gloves, but it's still my numb fingers that drive me inside first, while all the rest of me including toes are toasty warm. Maybe one or both will update their steel auger models and add heated handgrips. - Ego has handier chute direction control, near the right handgrip. - Ego folds the handles for storage a little quicker. - Ego comes with a fan-cooled dual charger with carrying handles.

Do you like the non-propelled model? I'm trying to decide between this one and the self-propelled.
@DAC_Reviews
Жыл бұрын
I’ve been very happy with this model. I have found it relatively easy to push through most snow. It’s noticeably easier in certain conditions than the Hart model that I reviewed. The only real difficulty is at the end of the driveway after the plow goes through. But, I’ve used self-propelled two-stage gas throwers at the ends of driveways and those have also required a lot of extra effort to muscle through compacted snow. It would be interesting to see if the self-propelled model provides much benefit in that situation.
