Currently have a Oxe 826 , 4 yrs old , is the Best unit for the price on the market . North American Briggs engine . The chute and impeller case are polyyurthane and warranted against breakage for life . They are again on sale for $825.00 this mth in the Great White North . Actually about to buy one of their Power Clear small blowers for my 40 ft deck . A return customer !

1. Tom , tried and proven technology , stronger one piece box chassis vs conventional two piece design , resists flexing and breakage also shear pin-less auger system due to oversized and case hardened gears. As said previously , my 4 yr old Power Max has proven itself Bullet Proof . My second use , I sucked in a small chunk of hard rock maple , which immediately stalled the engine . I removed the wood , noticed a small deformation of the auger tine which I tweaked back into form and kept on blowing . Strong gear box or what lol. Yeah back in the Day I ran only John deere , but today only Toro for me c/w 3 yr warranty .

So these have been around....unique deaign...not mtds in disguise etc.?...is there more than one 24 inch model...is it powerfull enuf ...does the 24 inch handle a foot or more of snow...how about at the curb...the deeper heavier snow...like after the plow comes..if so which so do u recommend...does it have a light..how much is it....

The design is patent pending only to Toro the 8 HP is more than capable of blowing snow over 40 ft . I have cleared 2 - 3 ft easily . I have a plow truck for drives but have numerous out buildings on many 10 acres that the 826 handles with ease clearing the walkways over 75 linear ft as req,d . The 8 HP will handle 28 inch chute easily , yes they come with high intensity halogen lights . I usually blow during the daylight hrs ,but have on emerged basis used the unit during darkness with awesome lighting it provides . P.S These toro,s are better built than the old Ariens or John Deere's take it from a man who has serviced numerous brands over the yrs . The 7 HP 24 " chute would even be capable for your small needs .

I'd say ewalk's advice would be sound. The man certainly knows what snow is!

Snow ? You talking Snow ? Seriously you wanna talk Snow ? Roflmao Tom !

Thanks

I must go look again!

10-4 ...All the Best !
