Pros: easy start, runs well when not in use
Cons: have had problems with it from the start with surges and then shutting off.
The Bottom Line: If could do it over again I would definitely buy something else. All my friends bought the cheaper murray version and they love theirs.

| wolfie47's Full Review: Toro Ccr 2450 Gts Snow Blower |
Bought mine brand new at the end of the snow season, used it once or twice seemed to surge more than normal. The next snow season I was about ready to use the thing for target practice. The toro starts easy enough, but after I used for about 5 min. the engine would start to surge and eventually shut off. Then it was hard to start and kept surging afterwards. Would have to limp it through to finish clearing the driveway and sidewalks. Took it in to an authorized toro repair shop, they told me not to use the 10% ethanol fuel and they would repair it and clean it up. They replaced about 70 dollars worth of parts, told me the carbs and intake looked brand new, couldn't find anything wrong with it, and sent me on my way. Took it home fired it up, and the thing ran WORSE than before. I made one pass before it surged and died, using fresh unethanol fuel. I took it back in and they still couldn't find any problems. Fired it up the next time it snowed, and the same thing happened. I emailed toro about it, have not received a reply yet. Next time I'M definitely buying a HONDA or John Deere. All my other yard equipment is honda powered and they have ran for years now without problems.
