I bought a Toro last year from a power equipment dealer that sold Toro, Ariens, Husqvarna, and Troy Built. I asked the salesman, all things being equal (price. they all have comparably priced models), how do you know which one to go with. He told me that Toro has the best warranty and they get fewer back in for repairs than all the rest. They also have the strongest gear boxes (you can see that they are almost double in size of the comp).
All I can say is that I have two driveways to take care of and this machine didn't miss a beat throughout this or any other storm we've had since I got it. I did both driveways once Saturday night, then again late Sunday morning. Then one final cleanup of the end of each drive late afternoon because the plows came by again.
Saved me a lot of back breaking work.
