I live in PA (Philadelphia region) and I own the Toro Power Clear 518ZE model and it did perfectly fine 2 days ago with 6-7" snow with the top layer being wet. I can definitely say I was pushing it beyond its rated limits but it was able to tackle the job and succeed with no problems. Love it, highly consider. We don't get much snow. Have a great holiday and keep the great content coming. Great video!

I use a 20 inch 2 stage Ariens ST5+2 with the flathead 5HP Tecumseh that was bought brand new back in 95. No gear drive, just old school auger propelled. Still runs as good as it did when it was bought 26 years ago. Love the vids Brian! Keep em coming!

Brian almost had me buy a snow blower and it never even snows here in southeast texas. Haha 😂

Love my Toro CCR 2450. .....10 years old. STILL starts on the first or second pull. Love stuff that just works. Good video. Thanks.

Bought the Toro 721rc 4 yrs ago and I can safely say it will go through 10+ inches. I change the oil, scraper and paddles every season. The plug was changed after 2 seasons and I just replaced the drive belt last month, no problems and love that it's a 4 cycle(no mix gas). Your choice of the 721 for a homeowner would be mine too, small footprint(foldable handle helps) to store in the off season and powerful enough for larger snowfalls. You can manhandle it in/out of a pick-up bed, but unless you have a strong back, not something I would advise.

And I just had to say...I really chuckled at the intro. Welcoming the snow with the enthusiasm of a 10 year old on a no-school snow day. Loved it!!

I've had a Toro Power Throw 824 XL, a Honda 1332 track drive & currently a Toro PowerMax HD Commercial 1432 wheeled unit & the 1432 is a beast! My driveway is 400ish feet long and no matter how wet or heavy the snow is it throws it like nothing else I have used.

Been using 821 toro this winter, it's a great machine very powerful!!! I'm in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada we have been getting some wet heavy snowfalls, its muscles through the slushy snow like nothing.

I used to haul around a real heavy Ariens blower (stationary but a beast) on and off of my bed with a ramp (slippery, just hell) until you introduced me to the 518 two years ago, its been a God send. Easy to lift on and off and it handles snow like a boss. I've blown up to 7-8 inches no problem. I bought mine brand new $425. Love it so that I found a used one (2 ysr old) this past summer, got it for $125 as a back up. Now I have the two in my bed, ready to crush it when needed.

Had a 31” trax unit and for the few days over 10 years that it was a advantage was not worth the weight and how slow it was now run the 721 and love it.

With a driveway as long and steep as mine, the 2 stage is needed. I live in the lower Hudson Valley region of NY and while we don't typically get multiple storms dumping multiple feet at a time, the bigger the better. My driveway is too narrow to plow too. I use an older Ariens 2 stage blower non tracked (really no need with the aggressive tired on it) with interlocking steering control. Makes life SOOO much easier when having to turn the machine since it allows it to turn on a dime which prevents you from having to muscle it around. 328 cc motor, 14 inch impeller diameter, etc. The only downfall is it's 327 lbs since it's all steel.

Good video. I run a Ariens 1132. It's a beast, it's now 22 years old, runs like a top.

I just got an Ariens Deluxe 24" and I can't wait to put it to use! It's a really solid built machine. My neighbor has a single stage Toro, people seem to really like those machines.

Had to use my elderly neighbors older 518 this past snowstorm (Massachusetts) since my John Deere 924de quit on me. Definitely pushed that thing to the limit with a foot of snow but it worked, just a lot of effort!

Great video. Editing is 🔥🔥. Out here in eastern PA getting hammered. 7+ inches. Hope you have a great holiday.

got a 24 inch craftsman 5 years ago for like 650ish its payed for itself numerous times every year with 15 accounts and has held up great. did a little poiunding and straightinen with sledge hammer but she rips still!! just did the big storm up here in maine ran like a champ

Great video Brian, I bought the Toro 821 QZE Power Clear last year with the blue quick chute on the side! I also have Ariens two stage snowblower for the deep snow! Since there is snow there is a snow vlog coming in the future!

Bought the 821 commercial and it is a monster , paddles wear along time and scraper bar. Amazing snow blower and will be the only blowers I will be buying going ahead

Rocking a Toro Snowmaster 724 QXE, it is a great machine. Love Toro's Personal Pace. It will throw dry snow 40 feet I'd estimate. Struggles with slushy wet snow but overall it is a great buy in my opinion.

First off we are getting a good dumping of snow here in Central Massachusetts and I’m ecstatic about it. Now aside from my 8’ Fisher XBLADE snowplow, 3 different 2 stage snowblowers. New to me this year (have only used it once) is the Honda HSS1332ATD. I also have the Toro Powermax 826 OE. Nearly 20 years old but I also have the MTD Gold 26. In my opinion there’s no “bad” snowblowers out there (although I’m not a fan of electric). I’ve never owned any but I’ve used Ariens, Cub Cadet & John Deere snowblowers as well and I liked them too

Aside from my Gravely's, you can't beat a Honda HSS series or Simplicity Signature..

I'll keep my 96' CCR3650 and my 04' too. The 2 stroke was so much more powerful and lighter. The 96' took 1 pull after 3 years of storage. My 04' has needed a kevlar belt for 2 years and I still haven't ordered it yet. I love my single stagers.

Just bought a Honda 32 tracked beast yesterday! Thanks to you for all your business tips on the Fullerton Unfiltered Podcast, I was able to pay for it in cash!

2 stage tracked HSS724 honda is what I run. Really awesome machine. Sweet video!

I have a toro 1024 .and it's a beast... I live in northeast Pennsylvania and there calling for 24-30 inches of snow for this big storm...

SnowJoe Hybrid. Love the battery/plug in feature.

721 all day long. Absolutely love Toro blowers!!

Troy Bilt 28 inch 2 stage. Toro 721. Love them both !!

We run the 721s and 821s. Always gotta keep some back ups at the shop for when they break at 3am in the middle of a storm. You can postpone lawns for a day but can’t postpone snow removal.

Great video Brian, I'm still just getting started in this business so all I use is a shovel and spreader for now

Received about 8-10” of snow in PA, the towns pickup with plow did my street and I gave the driver a Coke. It amazing how the plow truck gets a little closer to the curb compared to some other houses b

Great video Brian thanks. Keep it coming. Getting 18 inches coming to mass tonight

My go to snowblowers are the Toro CCR 2450's. I actually acquired a 2nd unit and of course, it hasn't snowed😂. On their 16th year and they start on the 1st pull and can do 7-8" of heavy snow. Little 5hp 2 stroke engine has lots of power for its age and size, and it just never breaks down. If I need an upgrade, then the 721/821 would be my choice

That 518 is a beast for how small it is. Our go to snowblower for the ease of getting in and out of the truck with the salter on the back

Picked up a Toro CCR 2000 for this season. I don't think you can beat those 80s Toro's :D Great for me as a home owner and our 1-3 inches we get here in my valley. It did manage to fight through 12inches of heavy September snow so you have to hand it to those machines.

I have had the 518 and 721. We don't do any walkways now and only offer plowing driveways with plow. That 3k one looks like a beast

Ariens 30” and ariens platinum SHO 28” both are beasts

Been looking at the 518 now that I have a tailgate spreader. It's a pain lifting the 721 over the side of my truck. Might be worth it

Just picked up a brand new Craftsman a couple days ago, nice unit hoping t ok get to use it tomorrow, 12-18 inches coming

I picked up a new toro 721r and two shovels similar to the ones you showed in the vids. 23 residential drives with me and 1 guy this year-my first year in business. Should be pretty interesting 😂

Can’t beat the toro snow throwers. I prefer the 18, just because it’s light and easy. We have 2- 21” and 1-18”at my job. Every one fights over the 18. They are about 15 years old. I have a 21” at home that was my fathers.... must be 30 years old easily and always starts right up!

Great content!!! Man I love the toro snowblower, I have two of them.

I have a Cub Cadet 2X (two-stage) 24" snow blower. Brand new this winter.

I have a 24” two stage Troy Built that I got from a big box store 14 years ago. I purchased it at the end of season for a deep discount. It’s time it receives a tune up. My father has an Ariens two stage. He’s had that blower for about 45 years now and where he lives in western NY state, it snows a lot from the lake effect.

Love to hear about an Ariens machine lasting 45 years! My dad has one that's almost as old. Its first winter was during the Blizzard of '78 in Massachusetts. It's needed some work over the years, but still going strong. My dealer has a 1960's-era Ariens on the sales floor for display, complete with original marketing brochure. Push drive, hard plastic wheels, all steel construction and absolutely no safety features. In short: I want it!!

Just picked up the 721E with the newer look like the 821. Wanting to get more into snow in the upcoming years

I love toro snowblowers other than the button for the easy chute rotation it should just be a trigger on the front of the stick other than that they are all great machines

My best video my favorite video that I have ever seen I love that you are so happy about snow

I run a John deere 1330e, because nothing runs like a deere. 13hp commercial grade b&s engine electric start, 30"wide, electric controlled shute, automatic wheel stop to turn. Its a beast in two or three feet of snow. Yes i live in the prairie province of Manitoba Canada.

I have the Honda 928 and the HS1332. Absolute beast! The only way to go out here in CO. The small ones are great to throw up on the upper decks. It's nice to have portability some times.

White gold is here! Great, informative video Brian!

The best are Honda. There new tracked two stages are the only way to go. At least for the mountains. However the ego ones are also great. Perfect for decks.

I use a Legend Force 2 stage that I bought at HD about 8 yrs. ago. I spent 3 hours yesterday putting a new primer hose, starter and plug in it to get it to go again. It is self propelled and I use a wheelchair carrier with a ramp to move it. I wanted to ask if the smaller non self propelled blowers take a lot of effort to push? Great vid!

We run toro powerclears, 2 721s 1 821, Ariens platinum 24 efi and a newly acquired Ariens Mountaineering edition.

I love the Simplicity 618 single-stage snow 12" of snow is no match for this little beast !

I have a Ariens 26” snow blower

I was in Lowe's the other day and I seen a Craftsman 2 stage and it looked pretty good! I don't know much about them, though, so I'm a novice!

From my experience when you get 12 to 18 inch forecast you will get drifts that are easily 2 to 5 even 6 feet deep.

Toro Snowmaster 724 QXE best all around. I have one as well as a Toro 3650 single stage and 726 TE PowerMax 2 stage and live in New Hampshire and although the PowerMax is a beast it's more often overkill and is less easy to manage than the Snowmaster.

Brian, I have to disagree with your take on the wet/slushy snow. I live in Alberta (Canada) where we get lots of the wet/heavy snow. The 721 and 821 both struggle to throw the snow through the chutes. The snow often gets clogged in the chute and either clogs completely or is simply too heavy to throw through the chute. Unfortunately, we end up putting the snowblowers back in the trailer and resort to other tools. Appreciate the video just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. Cheers!

That's true, sometimes though it'll eject forward and clean up that path or end of driveway nicely though! Cheers

Ariens 30 in, 21, 18. Selling the 30 inch and probably 21

The large toro , I think would be most reliable, steel shoot -less chance of clogging compared to plastic. I think ariens has a model similar to the big one.

Hey Brian just finished watching the video, another awesome one in the books brother!!! So l have the 518 is awesome it sits on the side of the box l tie it to the salter and backtrack for the guys to have on heavier storms and they love it!!! Also l have the 721 l put it in the back of one of the plow trucks to clear sidewalks and store fronts Love the 721 too Just wondering how wide is that Shovel ???

Awesome video 👌

I'm going with the Ariens pro 21. Only have 6 car driveway and small path to door. No sidewalks. The Tim Allen in me wants the 2 stage but with the area I have and 3 cars to work around and the skinny walkway I'm going with the single stage. The 2 stage, although beautiful and a beast, I don't think I need it. The 2 stage may make it harder.

The 821 works great

At least Chicago might finally get its first accumulation snowfall on Christmas eve

Hello Brian, Can you tell me if you think it is worth the extra money and get the QZE model with the quick shoot trigger even though it's not their RC commercial model, or is it a better idea to go with the RC model for "commercial use" (just doing residential homes)?? I know I can always upgrade the paddles and belt on the QZE model (more money$$$), but is it that big of a deal to use the manual shoot? I am not worried about the warranty because everything Ive read suggest these things last forever. Thanks for any help you or anyone else may be.

Thanks for review. I just bought the 21” 60v battery one. Do you still recommend the gas?
