DC126 Critique: Toro and Craftsman Snowblowers

Let it snow! This episode finds Tim and guest cohost Mike Velasco
talking about the customer experience of snowblowers. Or
snowthrowers. Tim relates his newbie snowblower customer
experience with the Toro SnowMaster 724 QXE while Mike relates
his long history with snowblowers in general and his Craftsman
881730.


In a world where the word "innovation" is all too often misused
by advertisers and Silicon Valley snake oil salespeople, the Toro
is truly innovative. The light weight, the joystick for
controlling the chute, the new design for moving the snow, the
nimble handling, and the accelerator in its handle are unlike
anything Tim found in other brands and models. Its speed is also
impressive.


As mentioned in the outro, the website movingsnow.com is a
terrific resource for learning about snowblowers, and
thewirecutter.com also had a good review of the Toro.
