I bought a new 8 horse Toro a month ago.........Pretty fancy. It has a headlight and a joystick for aiming the discharge chute.
I did not want to bother with an off-brand, but what I did notice is that most of the snowblowers I looked at have Tecumseh engines, which are one of the 2 best in the industry (the other being Briggs & Stratton)
Some of the other brands had less solid chassis too.
Now it had darn well better snow!
