Common is as common does

I live a stones throw away, and this would obviously be better for something like a sidewalk or porch vs breaking your back with a shovel. If you've got a long driveway, do yourself a favor and buy a gas-powered blower.

What you boneheads might want to try is to get out and do a interim clearing when the snow gets a couple of inches deep rather than wait until its over and 8inches deep and go..."Duh..the snow is too deep for this machine"....NO....The "Operator is not deep enough to operate the equipment"

Can some experts chime in if I should go with one or 18" toro from woot?

Where do you live and how much snow do you get? If on average the snowfall is around 8 inches per, this one will work nicely. The Toro is rated for up to 12 inches and gets the job done a bit faster.

Lansing, Michigan.... we usually get around 55-60 inch snow overall in winter. This year was an exception not so much snow. Still debating to go with Toro or Joe.

Not much use for this thing in Florida. Maybe I can use it on the weeds in the neighbor's yard.

According to NOAA [noaa.gov] from Dec-Mar, Lansing averages about 10 inches per mo. Either one will make you happy imho.

Man I was looking for this deal when I still had a house and driveway.

Honestly people, a $100 electric blower isn't going to perform to the standards of a $500 gas one. I thought this was common sense? Do people seriously wait (unless it's a daytime storm and you are at work) for the snow to completely stop before shoveling? If the forecast calls for 12" of snow, for gods sake, save your back and shovel the first 6" and then again for the second 6". Do the same for this electric blower and you should be fine. I would rather run this thing 2-3x over my old driveway than wait for the full 1-2 feet and then try to push even a gas blower through that mess...
