Could Consumers Reports be Wrong?

By Norm (Westerville, OH)

I have owned this lightweight gem of a snow blower for over three years and love the machine. It is lightweight as promised- only 37 pounds w/o electric starter.

It starts easily and makes little smoke when the correct fuel mixture is offered (50:1). Too much oil and it will smoke a bit. It is easily lifted while running to a porch by grabbing the handle and the discharge chute handle.

This year, so far I have gone through more than two gallons of fuel and cleared numerous walk paths, driveways and side walks in my condo community.

Consumer Reports says this snow blower is unsafe because it does not have an operator bar that must be held to make the impeller spin.

Boo hoo; on my "extra safe" newer power mower I use a velcro strap to defeat this troublesome feature when mowing grass. If this feature was to be added to the Toro Powerlite it would make it both heavier and more difficult to use.

Use common sense when operating any power tool !!! Don't let kids play with it and keep them inside when you are using it.
