It's about the size of a lawnmower, and it chucks snow halfway across the street if you set the chute to do so.
Starts every time, is self propelled, and saves his back and his heart from unnecessary exercise, as his house is a big corner lot with a long, wide sidewalk.
I think he actually enjoys doing the walks now.
Is the Toro you purchased, does it have small tires? I am looking at HomeDepot and the Toros all seem to have the same small tire feature which is odd because all the other brands have huge tires. I looked at them and thought that looked odd as to why they are the only ones with lawn mower tires and the others have off roading tires.
