I like this one Taryl,very nice,I'm impressed with how much snow it moved and how large of an area it was able to do on its very first run. I like the fact it's extremely quiet.The older I get the more I like quiet,that's a big selling point with me.
Thanks for the review.
Living in new Hampshire the snow is usually deep. I bought recently and have used it for 2 storms. Works well with wet and powdery snow about the same.
I was nervous about the battery lasting. Driveway is about 4 cars wide and 3 cars deep. Cleared about 6" on 1/2 battery.
I did go out twice so I wouldn't damage the machine.
I have a big areins but very heavy for my wife so I use the big one for the end of the driveway where the plow goes by and the small machine for getting around the cars.
I also give it high rating
Thank you Taryl for the absolutely great review, I've been seeking a new snow blower and now I'm seriously thinking about getting the toro to plow my driveway which is just a little bit smaller than the area you plowed.
P.S. my family and friends love your videos, and please ask slipper to stop sending me love notes.
thanks for the review. I was having trouble with the chute but you explained it very well.I'm located in PA and we are getting our 2nd large snowfall of the season. I have the battery charged and ready to go, cant wait to use it tomorrow.
I recently purchased this snowblower. I live in Massachusetts and after too many storms and a shovel I had to give in. I don’t think I could maintain a gas powered blower. Nor do I have a big driveway. Great video. It took a few weeks to come in and I could only find it at Home Depot. Can’t wait to use it. Well I can. You know what I mean 😉
I for one am impressed! Good job Toro. Thanks GrassRat.
Very cool little machine. Would be perfect for small areas and for folks like us that dont get alot of snow every year. Dont have something sitting around with gas in it not getting used. Thanks Taryl for showing us this little machine.
Your videos are the best. Love the editing.
Love the Jethro Tull reference! Great review, Taryl - well done, and it looks like a great little snowblower!
I bought this snow blower and on Dec 1st 2020 I got 14.4 inch of snow. That was after 4 to 5 hours of straight rain. This snow was extremely wet. I have a single drive, 3 car deep and about 60 feet of sidewalk. I did use all the 7.5 ah battery. The snow on sidewalk was at least 20 inch deep. If it had been 6 to 8 in of powder I'd have probably used 1/2 battery. This storm was way more than intended for Toro use but it did a great job. I plan to get lawn mower so I have 7.5 and 6.0 battery year round. No regrets buying this snow blower.
I’m impressed how well it worked. Great review Taryl. 👍
That’s a nice little workhorse taryl dacter I’m glad they picked you to represent their little battery powerd snowblower. 👍
Great video to help new Toro 60 volt snowblower owners to get started using the machine.👍
Well I have to say I'm impressed. I'm not really a big fan of this big push towards electric equipment but this little Toro seems like it's not to bad. I would be interested to see how the battery and area around the auger holds up. This definitely won me over a bit.
Good to see reviews on the battery power tools. There is a place for a lot of them in the garden.
Nice review, Taryl. That thar Toro moved a whole lot more snow than I expected. Now all we have to do is see how long it lasts. Maybe a yearly update???
That is amazing and you rethrew old snow again and again .
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄
It's a shame they didn't install an ambient light sensor for the light so it wouldn't needlessly turn on during the day and waste battery power. I realize it is a LED light but it still consumes power.
Im impressed with the performance of this little machine perfect for small driveways no gas no oil always starts. Un fortunately I have a huge driveway ! A good review Taryl thanks for sharing. " sitting on a park bench "
My thoughts also.
You can see how the battery tech has progressed, but still no comparison to a similarly priced gas unit even if you factor in 5 years of operating cost (fuel, oil, etc.).
Ted Bishop, are you eyeing little girls with bad intent? Lol
Use multiple batterys until it overheats.
@@Hoaxer51- I have this arriving in a couple days. ("Snot running down his nose")
@@rsstrazz6261, Greasy fingers, smearing shabby clothes, oh Aqualung.
I bought this when I got home from Vietnam
in February’72. It was an 8 track to play in my car. Are you getting this in vinyl, I have it in vinyl too. I think every song on this album is great! Enjoy!
Hey Taryl what no heated hand grip. Lol another excellent video Keep em coming.
Congrats on the 100k subs
Great review Taryl...very impressed on the amount of snow removal it did on 1 charge...an by the way...who is sending me love notes from your address....hum....
Metal sides with a plastic scraper bar,brilliant!Hey ,maybe you could convert your shop into a battery operated "Toy store", Love your vids,great entertainment!
Just used mine for the first time today. Cut through 4 inches of wet snow like nothing. Only maintenance item is the scraper bar which Toro recommends changing every 20 hours. About $32 on Ebay. Remember to watch the expansion cracks in the driveway. If you hit one too hard you may break the scraper bar.
I'm impressed. Didn't look like 4 inches but nice demo.
It actually performed better than I expected. Not bad for light snows.
I thought of cordless machines as something to clear a deck. Gotta say I’m impressed.
Snot is dripping down his nose great video taryl nice little machine take care my friend God bless
Looks good for the light unfrozen snowfalls but i'd like to see it's performance in a wet/crusty snow that we often get in new England.
I just watched this video because I'm really not in snowblower territory (Alabama) but I've been laughing for days! Aqualung! Bwahaahaa!!!
Nice removal job, but after less than 5,000 linear feet you can see around 16:00 that a noticeable amount of the plastic scraper blade is already gone. If it is a "consumable" - designed to be replaced - and can be adjusted up a little my guess is it would last a lot longer, but if you want to scrape a parking lot with essentially a windshield ice scraper it isn't going to last as long as you want.
I didn't see any wear but would prefer to see a steel scraper.
4:56 looks like it's a metal auger, what plastic scraper?
Edit- oh, the bottom edge on the housing, not the auger. On my old Toro it has metal sliders on the side to keep it off the pavement as it slides around.
Usually tilting it up on the wheels keeps it from riding on the housing edge, so it shouldn't be wearing as much.
Thanks very good information.
Hey Taryl, great video...I have the EGO electric snowthrower and this one is pretty similar....I started with the electric weed trimmer and liked it so much, I got the snowthrower, then I got the blower, then I got the hedge trimmer and finally I got the self propelled lawnmower...THAT's how much I liked the quality and performance of the electrics.....like you said, the batteries are interchangeable (and expensive) but you can switch them out with all the other power tools.....I still have my 9/26 Ariens gas because in Syracuse we get 120 inches of all kinds of snow...I use the electric for the back deck and carve a path out for the dogs.....The Toro seems like its a good reputable model and does exactly what you need it to do....I am sure there will be other tools that use the battery coming down the road...it really is the wave of the future....but don't worry, there are still millions and millions of the gas powered equipment out there to last your lifetime...thanks again and enjoy it
Thanks
Hay Taryl thanks for your videos have you ever worked on the Briggs and straton efi engines would love to see some repairs on them
Nice little snowblower
If I still lived in an area with snow, I would be very interested in that snowblower. For the average home
that thing is more than enough.
what about when the plows build up 1 foot of snow/ice at the end of the driveaway can it cut through that. my mom has a 6 space driveway, but the plows have no mercy
Nice Score Fer Ya !
Not too found on electic snowblowers lol but I love how they have you that and I hope you get 1 more use out of it before spring
They must love you promoting their snowblower the day before spring. lmao
I like the two stage snow thrower for wet and heavy snow over 12" that is a foot of snow
Down here in Texas...... When I say that I see cold snow all of the time... know that I watch a lot of videos.... whats a snobler? I know i can fixit, but whatsit fer? that'll help me know ifin its doing what its suppose to when im done.
Hi mate just a tech question from little New Zealand thought I'd ask the top mower advisor from you tube👍👍 want to fit a lt166 vanguard 16hp twin into a lx188 that got a blown Kawasaki 17hp will it clear bonnet and are shaft sizes the same?love my fd501v but so expensive to repair down here😪thanks for your tech videos I'm a petrol and now heavy diesel mechanic but still learn alot from your experience on small motors / very valuable cheers mate have a ale for me🍺
It did pretty well.
Jethro Tull reference! Rock ‘n Roll!!
I don’t understand why they didn’t put a separate switch for the light. I mean during the day I would rather have more battery time and not have a useless light sucking down the battery. I know it must be a low draw light but it’s still drawing power from the batteries
We are in N. central TN. and we don't need a snow blower so I watch for the music :)
Good lightweight thrower for domestic use. It has a niche I'm sure👍
love your ch edbonjovi aka leak master plumbing in ct
Looks like it works ok
That thing is impressive
I have a troy-bilt storm 2410 blower with 208cc. I blew about a foot and a half with that thing and it just cut right through
Thanks for the review there's your dinner!!!!!
How long does it take to recharge the battery from its completely discharged State?
How long did it take to charge the battery
That is damn impressive.
1:25 reminds me of the switch blade hair combs of the 80s
Hello Toro! Make this is radio control! That way y’all won’t have to go out and walk with it and freeze. I have no use for one because I live in the south but if I lived in a area that gets snow, RC snowblower would be what I want.
I'm kinda impressed.
Wow u still got snow. I remember those days as a kid in the Midwest
Your snow blower pattern is like mowing with a side discharge push mower
hey taryl, at 2:35 that's a golf club ,my uncle BOB uses it every time he forgets to charge the bat-tree.He takes that out of the box and starts hitting stuff in the garage and swearing,then when he's done he goes inside and starts drinking,and YELLS F___ IT.NOW we been stuck inside our house for 3 weeks,and the GOVMENT wants' us to SELF QUARANTINE>oh...oh...and the powers going to be shut off next week..
Home Depot $649 for this exact model or this exact model with 2 batteries is $849. Extra batteries are $309.99 each. It has mower, weed trimmer and leaf blower as other items that use same batteries.
Hey nice toro
A good fair review! Great job!🍺
Although LED's don't use much juice, it would be nice to be able to shut off that headlight and get an extra minute or two of battery life when you're out in daylight.
On the control panel, the farthest left icon, an upside-down "bulb" with a lightning bolt it, may be the headlight on/off button?
Hello Taryl & GrassRats. I am really impressed with TORO and it’s line of products. Thanks for your great unboxing and review of the snow-thrower. Like You, I would have like to see how this machine would have been with a deeper amount of snow vs how long the battery would have lasted.. Best Regards From Kentucky.
i been using 120 volt Toro for 15 years love it / but a battery would be nice
hey buddy you hit 100k subs GOOD JOB I Love your Vids Who dont? Congrats my friend! i wish i could hit 100k some day!
Why did the snowman drop his pants?
He heard that the snowblower was coming!
FYI: This test was using eco mode only. Check other videos of this machine. This machine is capable of more than this video showed. If he had used full power he might have actually finished.
What does the letter Y mean on the back of an ignition switch?
Is there a video on how to fix the wabble of the steering wheel? Craftsman
Did better than I thought it would. Good review Tarly
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this blower if it’s not starting?
Also, how much would a replacement battery be? Can a mechanic like you fix the electric portion of the machine, or does it require more training?
Taryl, when you test could you please see what happens when you get a frozen Sunday paper in there. I've had some issues with that with my old Ariens. Can you say "nasty"?
P.S. I kinda like the smell of gas fumes. Also my wife knows that I've been doing something. (She knows I don't drink gas)
Plastic and Radioactive batteries, that have to be disposed of at some point. "How Dare You". Love the videos Taryl! I'll stick with dinosaur juice, and sooty black smoke. machines.
Question T. The rubber flaps are used to help move the blower forward when in use. This new model has metal. I see you’re pushing it with a little effort. Ones with the rubber flaps are probably better??
Seemed to do a good job, but I’ll stick to my gas powered monster for the deep snow.
Hello from Fort Worth Texas, we don’t use those here but I watch all your videos. Keep safe and take care
if I got one the first thing I'd do is either cut the line to the lights or put a switch on them. that's got to hurt the battery life some.
I wish this guy was my dad lol
Toro makes great equipment from TBC small engine service
Can ya change the plastic cutting edge??
So do you leave the battery in the charger all summer?
The most recent battery powered tools I've bought (in the last couple years) have all said that once the battery gets fully charged, the charger switches into maintenance mode. So maybe you can leave them plugged up all year...
👍
Be a great toy for the kids or grandkids.
What I want to know is. Where can one get those hubcaps you have on that JD tractor behind you? Time: around 8:00
Jr won't break his arm trying to pull start it.
Nice review. Since you would only use it a few times a year. I wonder how many years Toro says the battery will last from sitting around a lot not being used?
It would be cool if the charger had a built in battery maintainer.
@@derpydog1008 Likely a very expensive battery that last almost 2 seasons.l
Whatever the warranty period is-😉
Perfect for most homeowners!
1.00 am in the morning here in australia will finish in the morning cheers taryl
What is the long life of the battery?
I'm here my friend
The battery is interchangeable on Toro blowers, trimmers and mowers. The main bitch I hear is that one has to push it though the snow doesn't have enough balls to pull it's self..
If a metal auger was touching the ground to allow self propulsion, it would throw sparks, and you wouldn't be happy with the marks it left on your drive.
Hi
Take the mufit off to make it louder...then try a new set of headers to make it go faster...
Your crazy than shit!! Love you videos..... your pretty good boy though!!👍🇺🇸
