Comment:
I have had the machine since September 2011. March 2013 is the 1st time I got to use it. I see many reviews of the machine not starting. I found out why mine was giving me issues... a vacuum tube from the oil breather to the air intake was not connected. I reconnected it with a higher grade clamp, and she started up just fine. I used it to clear 2 LARGE driveways and 5 side walks- 1 of which was an easy 100 yards long (corner home in high end community).
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Bought the older model TORO 421 which is the same machine a few years ago. Used it exactly 4 times due to the lack of snow. Every time I tried to use it machine would NOT start. Recalled from Toro due to faulty carburetor, however carburetor has already been repaired twice already. Spent approximately $1200 for nothing. Ended up shovelling the snow every time. SAVE your money and buy a good shovel (you will thank me after the first snowfall) Hopefully the recall from TORO may be my lucky charm....will update this revisit machine mekes it through this winter.....

Comment:
I use it to clear my driveway, it was hard to push up.<br />I got it at Home Depot on Dec 2011, used 4 or 5 times for less than 15 minutes at the time.<br />Put it away with very little gas in it, with gas stabilizer.<br />Now in Dec 2012, put new gas, oil in it. The machine will not start.<br />I took it to Home Depot, they could not start it.<br />Home Depots owner told me it was a problem between Toro and me. <br /><br />Then I took it to Toro authorized dealer, they will charge $45.00 plus tax to look at it.<br />As I got into the shop Kooy Brothers, I saw an other person with the same Toro machine in line to service it for the same problem. <br />I am not very confident about this product.
