 Great or budget or weight conscience buyer November 17, 2008

I looked at MTD brand (Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Yard
Machines, Bolens, McCulloch and White Outdoor) blowers and throwers. I have used John Deere and can't begin to tell you what a pain it is to push that big heavy thrower around, or what pains it caused later. Yes this Toro is narrow requiring more passes but using it doesn't' even seem like work so it doesn't really matter. For the price you can get into a low end MTD thrower but after asking the repair shop what they would buy of the two they said Toro because they are easy to repair and therefore cost less to repair. That makes sense because if I want to use a wider machine I can always use my old Toro. My old Toro is 27 years old but they still make parts for it. The only problem with that one is it uses too much gas.

I bought this to replace a Toro 1800 that died on its first outing. Unlike that "toy" this one delivers the goods. Sure, I'd rather plug in a cord than mess with gas, but it's not that much of a hassle.
I use it to clear my paved drive and sidewalks here in Michigan with no problems. It clears 6 inches of wet snow in a single pass. It can clear snow up to a foot deep, you just need to overlap more and take it a bit slower. For this suburban homeowner, it's a keeper.

This review is for the Toro #38182 325E Powerlite Snowblower
If your driveway is small enough to shovel in 90 minutes or less, then
this is probably your best bet. It's small, light weight (less than 40LBS!!) and can do a fine job on your driveway with just a pint of gasoline and very little effort. All that and you can tuck it away in as little as 1 and 1/2 sqaure feet in your garage, yeah! That small! This is NOT what I would consider as a full blown snow blower, in fact about 12-13 inches of snow is about all this baby can handle. For as small as it is it packs some power with just a 98cc two stroke engine! It's a tad on the loud side and the vibration is a bit strong but all in all it's a winner!
I've read other owner reviews of this product that complain about it not starting consistently and all I can say to those of you is follow the owners manual EXACTLY!! when measuring your oil to gas mixture! I've had no problems starting my Toro EVER but I only use the electric starter. It fires up after about a half dozen srokes, every time.
The price is a little high for what you get, I paid $359.00 which I
think is a little steep for a snow blower made with mostly plastic. But hey, I wanted something simple, light, and small.
Another win for Toro!
 great when it works February 13, 2008

We bought this small snowblower so either of us could use it easily. Unfortunately it's very tempermental and rarely starts. Taking it apart and putting it back together solves the problem, but who wants to do that every time?
Piece of junk December 16, 2007

I purchased this snow blower in the fall of 2006. I have yet to use it, because it simply won't start. I've taken it in to the dealer several times and each time he says the gas is bad. But even with good gas it won't start. So I'm back to shoveling by hand. I will never ever buy another Toro. Don't waste your money on this piece of junk.
