| Snow Blowers Direct Recommendation |
| By Snow Blowers Direct |
The Toro 38583 Power Clear snow thrower is a single stage snow thrower that delivers serious results without serious work. Like all Toro single stage models, the 38583 is lightweight and portable, and you will enjoy the easy maneuverability and simple storage that this model offers.
The Toro 38583 is considered a “prosumer” model, so it’s capable of handling bigger snow throwing jobs. Typical suburban driveways and long stretches of sidewalk are what the 38583 was designed for. Medium to heavy snow fall are no big deal for the Toro 38583. You will be able to clear up to 1,700 lbs. of snow per minute, and throw snow up to 30 feet, depending on snow conditions.
The Toro 38583 has two great features. First is the Toro Power Propel System, which takes the work out of snowblowing. An innovative pivoting scraper keeps the rotor in constant contact with the pavement, making the job quicker and easier. Second is the Toro Quick Shoot Control System, which lets you change the chute direction without even slowing down. Just squeeze the trigger and slide the handle-mounted grip to throw snow exactly where you want it.
And if you’re looking for the convenience of an electric start, you should consider the Toro 38584 instead. All the same, great features of the Toro 38583 shown above, but the 38584 includes a push button electric start. Just plug it in, push a button, and off you go.

| OK for most snow events, but... |
| By Phil (Milwaukee, WI) |
You still need to have a 2-stage available for the heavy, slushy driveway cleanup.
Also, the pull-start handle broke on my first below zero start-up, and I could not believe how cheaply this important part was manufactured. In addition, my Quick Stick got jammed , had to thaw it out to release it.
I took the blower apart to inspect the cable assembly and gears, but whatever water got into the unit could not be removed easily. A hair drier did the trick.
I know that they try to save weight on these blowers, but a few more ounces of plastic here and there may be beneficial.
Otherwise, these units get my vote strictly for the Quick Stick feature. I hope they got a patent on that. |

| Great snowblower, concern on the engine resolved |
| By Bill (Milwaukee, WI) |
I bought this snowblower in Nov of 2009. I've used it three times and while it starts, it has never started on the first or second pull. With the engine primed and fully choked, it takes 4-5 pulls in order for it to start. I sent a message to Toro today as it should be covered under their warranty.
Once started, this machine is a beast. We had 10 inches of snow in WI this morning and it was throwing it a good 25-30 feet - just amazing.
If you're in a tighter area with a lot of turns, definitely go for the zip deflector and the quick chute control. With the ease of adjustments, you can put the snow wherever you want.
The self propulsion system on it is quite remarkable too. It really pulls the machine through the snow with little effort from the operator. My only concern is that it might be a little too powerful for my wife. Nonetheless, all you have to do is lift the paddles off the ground and you have full control again.
This can easily clear a large driveway, sidewalks and patio. I have neighbors who have larger areas to clear and purchased much larger two-stage blowers. This Toro would easily have suited their need.
Apart from the engine not starting on the first or second pull (or even third pull), this is a 5 star machine.
SBD RESPONDS: You may also wish to contact Toro at their toll free, tech support number: 888-384-9939.
1/12/10 UPDATE: I spoke with Toro and they informed me that if the temperature is around 30 degrees you should not prime the engine and only set it to half choke.
I tried this and it started right up. The owner's manual tells you to prime twice and fully choke the machine, which just floods it. Toro should update their documentation to reflect this.
That being said, I give the machine a 5 and not a 3. |

| This Toro rules |
| By Eric (Appleton, WI) |
I have owned 3 snowblowers, all single stage. I received the first one, a Toro 5hp, about 13 years ago and it was great.
I sold it to a friend and bought a Honda single stage 5hp. It was fine, but today I used this Toro 38583 and I am gonna get one ASAP.
NO COMPARISON to any other. |

| Poorly designed snowblower |
| By Scott (Aberdeen, SD) |
I purchased this unit two months ago. It works good when it runs however the recoil start freezes up and will not engage.
Additionally, the chute control also freezes up, leaving it completely inoperative. The Toro dealer has little advice or solutions to fix it other than to bring it inside and let it thaw out. This is not practical for something designed for winter use.
The Toro 800 number is completely automated, so there is no way to opt out to speak to an actual employee. Save your money, a shovel is more reliable.

| By Randolph (Tonawanda, NY) |
This is a great snowblower.
Toro makes the best snowblower in the single stage class, and with awesome clearing down to the pavement.
You will not find another snowblower better! |
