The Toro snow blower worked, but it was very light and therefore could be somewhat difficult and time-consuming to use to clear heavy snowfalls.</p> <p><img src="https://www.sharedbits.net/posts/i-finally-broke-down-and-purchased-a-two-stage-snow-blower/shared--bits_2025-001-01_i--finally--broke--down--and--purchased--a--two-stage--snow--blower_toro--corded--electric--snow--blower_640x480.jpg" alt=""></p> <p>In January 2016, a historic one day blizzard hit the area in which I live, dropping over twenty inches of snow. Initially, I shoveled the snow by hand because I didn&rsquo;t think the Toro corded electric snow blower could handle the amount of snow, but after shoveling some of the driveway and a path through the back yard most of the night, I decided I had had enough of that. It took me another two days, about 8 hours each day, to finally clear the driveway and the sidewalk of all of the snow. I used a shovel to break down the height of the snow to be able to blow the snow with the Toro corded electric snow blower.</p>
