Found out price I paid was not a special deal ; will update on performance soon.
I received this Toro Snowthrower in quick time. It shipped in the manufacturuer's original box, which was in nice condition as well. I have not tried out the snowthrower yet, so i will update this reveiew once i have. I must say at this time, I am a bit miffed about the price I paid. I believed Amazon's word that the regular price was $ 150 regularly. I bought it becuase it was on sale (apparently). I paid $108.99. Now, since a few friends heard I bought it i have been told that $ 109 is not much of a sale for this snowthrower. So I checked the Toro website, and sure enough the manufacturers suggested retail price for this exact model number is $125.99. That price is actually up from last week when the msrp was around $109 (what i paid for it on Amazon.) The result is of course that i got no special deal , and i have now learned to check the actual price at other merchants, before sending away for something.
An Unfortunate Shopping Experience
The power shovel is fine--light and easy to store. The process of purchasing it on Amazon using their "convenient" one-step process was, however, horrible. The supposedly convenient one-step process does not provide any indication that the order has actually been submitted. Thus, I inadvertently ordered THREE of these bulky objects and did not notice the error until 12 hours later when I got three email confirmations of three orders. Calls to Amazon (apparently somewhere on the Asian subcontinent) were futile. They insisted that nothing could be done to stop this order, but all I had to do was to print return labels and ship the extra two of them back. They did not mention, of course, that there would be an extra $15.00 shipping charge for each one. My advice--if you want one of these power shovels--buy it from your local hardware store!
Toro Power Shovel
This product was purchased for my 82 yr. old mother who has back problems and can't shovel snow. Living in Indiana shoveling snow is a part of the winter season. She has used the shovel several times since receiving it and has only good things to say about it. She is most impressed with the ease of use and the thorough cleaning the shovel does and that she does not have to lift and toss the snow after it is on the shovel as in past years. We would recommend this Toro Power Shovel to anyone with back problems and a willingness to shovel when there is not more than 2" on the walk. Next Snow Thrower
